<p>A paging message interface and missed message retrieval system and method enables a user of a display pager (20) to determine whether any message out of a series of transmitted messages has been missed. The messages are numbered sequentially and are stored for retrieval at an originating clearinghouse (34, 36) in association with the user number and message number. The message numbers are encoded in the message itself and are displayed to the user with the messages. If a numbered message is missing from the sequence, the user can telephone at the clearinghouse (34, 36) and retrieve the missed message. A telephonic caller can back up a voice response sequence to correct message input errors and to rehear instructions or messages. The system also enables the messages to be flagged with status indicators displayed in a multistate field (21) on the pager. Caller input codes allow incoming messages to be screened and are programmable so that the subscriber can determine how incoming messages are processed and which status flags to use.</p> |
