Abstract
A personal message receiving apparatus is described including a portable communications receiver, intended to be carried by the user, which receives, detects and stores messages transmitted on a first radio frequency communication channel. The stored message is then subsequently transmitted over a second communications channel to a presentation unit having a second receiver which is intended to be carried by the user. The second receiver receives, and detects the message, and presents the message to the user in the form of a visual display. The message may also be stored.
