Abstract

A paging system is provided for transferring data and voice messages to a unique address of a paging receiver. The system includes a paging controller, an encoder, a transmitter, and a paging receiver. The paging controller receives voice and data information from an entry device. The encoder, coupled to the paging controller, encodes the voice and data information into a composite paging signal designated for the unique address of the paging receiver. The composite paging signal is transmitted to the paging receiver by the transmitter. The paging receiver receives and decodes the composite paging signal to receive the data and voice messages. The data are displayed simultaneously with the voice message being furnished to the paging receiver used. In one embodiment, a PBX system automatically provides the data message in the form of a telephone number. The paging system automatically provides the telephone number of the sender along with the voice message to the paging receiver user.
