  • Patent number: 5594945
    Abstract: A method of delivering registration reminder messages in a segmented nationwide or other broad area paging system, having multiple service areas, is disclosed. A set of unused capcodes is assigned on a one to one basis as service area codes for each of the service areas. Each service area transmits a set of messages addressed to all service areas except the local service area. Existing paging equipment with alternate capcode memories for storing an alternate address are employed. When a service area code matches the alternate capcode address in the pager, the reminder message is received and displayed. When the user subsequently registers, a command message is transmitted from the local service area commanding the pager to change its alternate capcode to the local service area code. Since no reminder message is addressed to the local service area code is transmitted, receipt of reminder messages then terminates.
