1. A method for decoding a transmitted fragmented message in a selective call receiver, the fragmented message comprising one or more message packets, each of the one or more message packets comprising an address and message data, the message data comprising an indication of whether more message packets are to be received for the fragmented message, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) receiving an address of each message packet of one or more message packets of a fragmented message;

    (b) correlating the address to one or more predetermined addresses;

    (c) decoding the message data of each message packet in response to a successful correlation of the address in step (b); and

    (d) successively storing the decoded message data of each message packet of the one or more message packets to reconstruct the fragmented message, the fragmented message being completely reconstructed after detection in the decoded message data of one of the one or more message packets an indication that no more message packets are to be received for the fragmented message.
