<p>Messages are pushed to handsets using a secondary carrier channel preferred the commercial AM and FM radio sub-carrier channel separate from the wireless network. The handset includes a secondary carrier receiver (203), which may share a power source (205) and other components with the wireless network receiving hardware included in the handset. When the handset receives (301) a message broadcast over the secondary carrier channel, or one of multiple secondary carrier channels, the messages is then stored in a message memory of the handset. A stored message is output (404) from the message memory in a user understandable format, e.g., audibly or visually, through the handset hardware in response to a 'send' operation of the handset, prior to the establishment of a communicating link between the handset and a base station of the wireless network. In the case where message output occurs in response to a 'send', the user will be listening for the call too connected and an excellent opportunity is presented for a short advertising message.</p> |
