Abstract

A subscriber unit (100) of a messaging system initiates (226) a reminder alarm action. The user generates (210) an intended message to be sent as an inbound message with a user interface (114). The processing system (106) of the subscriber unit (100) evaluates (214) a characteristic of the intended message, and initiates (226) the reminder alarm action in response to the evaluating (214) step. The processing system (106) and the coupled transmitter transmit (228, 242) the inbound message.
