Abstract: The callback mobile subscriber station is capable of receiving a numeric page when the callback mobile subscriber station is located in an area where regular cellular telephone service is unavailable, by receiving data on a low frequency channel that is capable of service in the subscriber's present location. The subscriber can then initiate a callback call to the calling party when they are in an active service area by simply activating the callback function on the callback mobile subscriber station. The callback mobile subscriber station stores the calling party's telephone number and automatically places a call to that number when the callback feature is activated. Alternatively, the subscriber can use a land-line based telephone to return the missed incoming call, even though there is no cellular service in their present location.

Abstract: The voice-print based voice message screening system enables a calling party to leave a voice message for the identified subscriber without the need to input any additional information. When the subscriber receives a voice message from a calling party, the subscriber can elect to add the calling party to the subscriber's calling party screening list by activating the voice-print based voice message screening system to register the calling party. The voice-print based voice message screening system stores data indicative of the subscriber's listed directory number, the calling party's number, the identity of the calling party as characterized by the subscriber, and also stores a small set of determined speech characteristics to identify the calling party. On a subsequently received call for the subscriber, the voice-print based voice message screening system analyzes the calling party's voice based on one or more parameters that can be managed by the subscriber to identify the calling party.
