Abstract

When a first paging network system terminal determines that a pager is not within the coverage area of that network system, a paging message is automatically transmitted from another paging network system terminal. The pager wearer can advise the first paging network system terminal of his travel to another paging network system coverage area or the first paging network system terminal forwards the paging message to a predesignated alternate paging network system terminal.
