<p>A method of operating a selective call receiver (170) that roams a plurality of separate simulcast areas (20) including a specific area where the selective call receiver shares the same address with a second selective call receiver but where only one of the receivers is able to decode a message broadcast in the specific area includes the steps at the selective call receiver of receiving a target address, a tag representative of the specific area, and an associated message. Then the associated message is decoded (40) when both the target address and the tag representative of the specific area match an address (38) and a tag (36) stored in a memory location (77 or 76) within the selective call receiver and otherwise ignoring the associated message when either the target address or the tag representative of the specific area fail to match the tag and the address stored.</p> |
