A wireless communication system has a central computer (36), one or more access points (34) and personal badges (32) that communicate with the one or more access points (34). The central computer (36) includes a database indexed by either user identification codes or badge serial numbers. When a user activates a badge (32), the central computer assigns the badge so that any message for the user is directed to the badge. The user may also access his personal data section in a central computer database through the badge (32) while the activation is valide. When the user deactivates the badge, the central computer (36) deletes the association and returns the badge (32) to a non-user-specific state. Where docking stations are available to rest the badges (32) not being used, the badges (32) may be configured so that they are activated when decoupled from the docking stations and deactivated when coupled to the docking stations.
