A telecommunications system that performs page-connect paging is disclosed. The telecommunications system of this invention includes a paging system (28) that is designed to receive calls from page-connect paging system subscribers. Once such a call is received, the system (28) parks the call on hold while sending a page to the subscriber. The subscriber can then call the paging terminal (28) to automatically be connected with the calling party. The system further includes a cordless telephone-2 system (26) wherein each of the system subscribers is further provided with a portable handset (26) from which he can access the publicly switched telephone network. Subscribers with the handset, upon receiving a page-connect page, can automatically dial the paging terminal (28) to be connected to their calling parties. Thus, the telecommunications system of this invention provides a convenient means of providing subscribers with portable telephone service that allows them to both make outgoing calls and receive incoming calls.
