An acknowledge back paging system (10) is provided for transferring a voice message to a paging receiver (12). The system includes a paging controller (22), a controller encoder/decoder (16), and a transmitting means (18). The paging controller receives voice and data information from an entry device (30). The controller encoder/decoder, coupled to the paging controller, encodes the voice and data information into a composite paging signal designated for the paging receiver. The composite paging signal includes an address (74) followed by a predetermined time period having no information. The composite paging signal is transmitted to the paging receiver by a first transmitting means. The paging receiver receives and decodes the composite paging signal to receive and decode the address. In response to the address, an acknowledgement signal is generated and transmitted back to the paging controller. In response to the acknowledgment signal, the paging control sends the remaining composite paging signal including the voice message to the paging receiver. |
