Abstract
A radio pager system and pager terminal apparatus used in the system are disclosed. A pager signal to be transmitted includes destination information and message specifying information for specifying a message to be transmitted. The pager terminal apparatus includes a receiver for receiving an incoming pager signal, a detector for detecting that the received pager signal is a signal destined for the pager terminal apparatus, an extracting circuit for extracting message specifying information from the pager signal transmitted to the pager terminal apparatus and message displaying apparatus responsive to the extracted message specifying information for displaying a message corresponding to the extracted message specifying information in a visually recognizable manner. The radio pager system includes the above pager terminal apparatus, a station for transmitting via radio a pager signal, and transmission terminal apparatus for supplying the destination information and the message information to the station. The data to be transmitted is not the body of the message but message specifying information, so that the amount of data to be transmitted is reduced and the communication is kept secret.
