Abstract
A method and apparatus for a paging service to automatically respond to a paging acknowledgment. The pager server receives an initial pager request from an originating user. The initial paging request is sent to a target user by the paging server. An acknowledgment to the initial pager request is received at the paging server from the target user. If the acknowledgment is not positive, alternate users are paged until a positive acknowledgment is received.
