A system and method for transmitting a facsimile message to one or more of a plurality of facsimile selective call receivers (40) each capable of decompressing a facsimile message on the basis of a facsimile codebook which is optimized for an image of a predetermined fixed resolution. In a processor (20) of the selective call terminal, the image of the facsimile message is segmented into a plurality of subimages (I1-In). Each subimage is compressed on the basis of the codebook to generate a compressed subimage for each subimage. A paging protocol signal is generated including information representative of the plurality of compressed subimages. At the selective call receiver (40), the decoder/controller extracts the information representative of the compressed subimages (CI1-CIn) and decompresses each compressed subimage on the basis of the stored codebook to display the facsimile message.
