Abstract
A method and apparatus in a communication receiver (110) for controlling an alert in response to a received call-back number (233) include receiving (402) the call-back number (233). A processor (208) in the communication receiver (110) compares (406) the received call-back number (233) with a list of pre-programmed call-back numbers (226, 228, 230) stored in a memory (210). If the received call-back number (233) matches (408) one of the pre-programmed call-back numbers (226, 228, 230), the processor (208) selects (410) a pre-programmed alert (236, 238, 240) corresponding to the matched pre-programmed call-back number (233), and instructs (414) an alert generator (212) to generate the selected pre-programmed alert (236, 238, 240).
