A paging receiver device and method are disclosed in which analog information transmitted from an external source such as a paging transmitter are received and decoded. The analog information includes at least one voice message. The voice message is recovered, digitized, and stored in one of a plurality of message slots in a memory of the paging receiver. In response to a paging user's request, the digitized stored message is recalled from memory, reconverted from digital information to analog information, and used to produce audible voice information being a replica of the original analog voice message.

Digitized stored voice paging receiver

An electronic information processing device (300) capable of communicating a message to a paging terminal (112) uses an input device (309) to enter the message, select a messaging subscriber and their corresponding selective call address identifier, and schedule communication of the message to the paging terminal (112) for transmission to at least one selective call receiver corresponding to the selected messaging subscriber. The device uses a micro-controller (301) including at least one electronic memory (304, 305, 306) and a processor (303), to execute a program that controls operation of the device (300), maintain a registry of messaging subscribers (400) in the memory (304, 305, 306), and implement a real-time calendar for effecting communication of a selective call address identifier and corresponding message to the paging terminal (112) via a data port (308) in response to a scheduled communication of the message.
