<p>A communication system and method of use which integrates a paging system into the PBX communication environment providing enhance performance and capabilities. A PBX environment brings together many forms of communication: telephony conversations, voice mail, electronic mail, Fax messages, and others. The paging system, which consists of a paging server, a voice response unit, and end user paging devices, is integrated into the PBX environment making it the focal point of communications. The paging devices provide immediate and visual indication to the user of a request for callback and relative urgency for the callback, and of the arrival of other forms of communication such as a voice mail message, electronic mail, and Fax. The paging system subscriber need only look at his paging device to determine if E-Mail, Voice Mail, or facsimile messages await. Performance is also enhanced for a caller trying to reach a paging system subscriber. Callers only need to dial a single phone number, rather than a phone number for the office and a different phone number to page. Because the paging system utilizes a voice response unit, callers are informed of their options and instructed how to complete their communication. <MATH></p> |
