  • Patent number: 6167234
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing global message monitoring in a paging system includes a message origination and delivery device (MODD) (20). The MODD (20) includes a data structure (100) which identifies certain users as message monitoring users. Message monitoring users receive monitored page messages (300), which are duplicates of pages sent to users being monitored. The MODD (20) sends pages to a pager in the possession of the message monitoring user.

  • Patent number: 5956390
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a verified message receipt in a messaging system (10) notifies users (30) when messaging system subscribers (40) retrieve messages (370). Verified message receipts can take the form of pages, faxes, automated call-backs or additional messages. In operation, when a user (30) leaves a message (370) for a messaging system subscriber (40), a verified message receipt flag (375) is raised and a user pager number (380) or user fax number (390), or user telephone number (395) is entered. A message origination and delivery device (20) includes many message boxes (300) for many subscribers (40). The message origination and delivery device (20) generates verified message receipts when subscribers (40) retrieve messages (370).
