A selective call receiver system (150, 200) includes a base site (150) which transmits paging information (100) having a plurality of batches (1-to-N). The base site (150) comprises timer (266) for calculating a time between a first of the at least two successive paging transmissions, and counter (266) for counting a number of batches to be transmitted in the at least two successive paging transmissions. A base site processor (254), coupled to the timer/counter (266), processes the paging information. The base site processor (254) comprises encoder (262) for encoding a portion of the first of the at least two successive paging transmissions with the calculated time and the number batches to be transmitted in the first paging transmission. A base site transmitter (252), coupled to the base site processor (254), transmits the at least two successive paging transmissions according to the calculated time to a plurality of selective call receivers (200). The selective call receiver (200) comprises a receiver (204) for receiving the paging transmissions. Decoder (206), coupled to the receiver (204)s, for decoding the number of batches (1-to-N) being transmitted therein and the time to a next paging transmission. Power switch (210), coupled the decoder, for disabling and enabling a power supply to the receiver (204) for receiving an assigned frame (F0-F7) of the plurality of batches (1-to-N). The power switch (210), being further responsive to the plurality of batches being decoded, disables and enables the power supply to the receiver for receiving successive paging transmissions.
