Abstract
A personal communicator receiving station, also known as a holster, is capable of receiving a personal communicator unit and communicating therewith. Such receiving stations may be at various locations, including a subscriber's home, office, automobile and other sites. The personal communicator includes the telephone number for call forwarding updating in the central exchange of the personal communications network, while the receiving station includes a call forwarding number. When the receiving station is connected to a landline system, the receiving station obtains the network update number from the personal communicator operatively positioned therein, and communicates the call forwarding number to the network central exchange. In a variation, the personal communicator obtains the call forwarding number from the receiving station and communicates that number to the network through the personal communications system.
