1. A method of paging a registered mobile device of an associated public mobile network capable of receiving paging signals comprising:
- determining a location area code responsive to an incoming call to a wireless destination number of the associated public mobile network;
determining last registration data including location area code for a registered mobile device having the wireless destination number;
transmitting paging control signals to cells from a plurality of base stations within the location area code for the associated public mobile network;
determining if last registration data for the mobile device further comprises a service area code;
if the last registration data for the mobile device comprises a service area code, ceasing transmission of paging control signals to cells within the location area code, determining at least one base station for the service area code of the last registration data and beginning transmitting paging control signals from the determined at least one base station.

Abstract
A method of paging a registered mobile device of an associated public mobile network capable of receiving paging signals comprises determining if last registration data for the registered mobile device further comprises a service area code, if the last registration data for the mobile device comprises a service area code, ceasing transmission of paging control signals to cells within the location area code, determining at least one base station for the service area code of the last registration data and beginning transmitting paging control signals from the determined at least one base station. By following this paging method, a given public mobile network may treat the paging of a mobile device by service area code as optional and a standards body need not dictate a requirement that paging by service area code be practiced.
