<p>The present invention provides a method for registering and controlling registration data for new and roaming pagers in a paging system. Messages for the pagers are received through a public switch telephone network (20) from either a standard telephone (16) or a computer (18). The messages pass through an input messaging switch (22) to the pager's home messaging switch (23 or 25), from which the messages are sent to an output messaging switch (36 or 44) to be transmitted to the pagers. The different output messaging switches (36 and 44) cover different geographic areas with their transmitting base stations (38, 40, 48 and 49). When a pager roams into an area covered by the base stations of one of the output messaging switches, it sends out a registration message that is received by the output messaging switch. The output messaging switch then contacts the home messaging switch for the pager.</p> |
