Abstract
A selective call device (130) having a receiver (204) that receives a selective call signal with an address (312), a formatting message (406), and a related message (408). A processor (214) correlates a recovered address with a predetermined address in the selective call device (130) and determines selection of the selective call device (130). A decoder (212) decodes the formatting message (406) and the related message (408) contained in the selective call signal in response to the processor (214) determining selection of the selective call device. An information display (228) presents at least a portion of the related message (408) in accordance with a format determined at least in part by the formatting message (406).
