Abstract
A selective call receiving device (14) and method allows a user of the device to mark or identify a message as a priority message. A message identified as a priority is stored in a priority message list (52) for comparison to a message that is subsequently received by the device (14) to determine whether the received message is a priority message or not. If a controller (28) of the device (14) determines that a received message is a priority, then the controller (28) generates a priority response such as an audible and/or tactile alert.
