Abstract
Calls entered into a paging system are processed by a controller which identifies the call source from which the call originates, and from a table of predetermined call sources the controller generates a source tag identifying the call source. The source tag is transmitted together with any caller generated message to a paging receiver. The paging receiver, upon receiving the source tag, selects a predetermined message from a table of predetermined messages, and displays the predetermined message stored within and displays the predetermined message together with the caller generated message. The tables of predetermined call sources and predetermined messages are definable by the paging receiver user.
