Abstract
A method for telephone number notification and storage in a two-way portable radio includes decoding (205) an incoming telephone number at a central station and successively transmitting (209) portions of the telephone number and a ring signal to a subscriber radio. The subscriber radio subsequently acknowledges (211, 217) receipt of the telephone number and uses this information to notify (321,323) a radio subscriber that a telephone call was received. The telephone call can be immediately answered or selectively stored (325) and retrieved by the subscriber at a later time. The invention is particularly useful in situations where the radio subscriber is away from the radio or was not able to hear the ring signal.
