Method and apparatus in a selective call system for storing received messages in at least one receiving unit having memory and for processing a command to validate memory (358) when the receiving unit is idle, or the receiving unit is processing received messages, or when a central control unit is waiting for acknowledgement of a previously sent message. The method further includes detection of a corrupted memory (360), followed by erasure of the received messages (362) stored in memory and transmitting a "failed memory" acknowledgment signal (366). The method further comprises a step of receiving a reproduction of all of the received messages (370) erased by the receiving unit, or a reproduction of the most recently sent message, or a reproduction of the previously sent message for which the central control unit is waiting an acknowledgement.
