1. A communication system for information transmission, comprising:
- a signal provider for receiving communication information from a remote source and in accordance therewith generating a control signal, said communication information including a predetermined selection code, said selection code capable of prioritizing the transmission of said corresponding communication information; and
a wireless device having a first operation mode and a second operation mode, said wireless device configured to selectively operate between said first and second operation modes in accordance with said control signal,wherein said signal provider determines whether said wireless device is operating in a first or second operation mode, and in accordance therewith, selectively transmits said communication information to said wireless device; and
furtherwherein when said predetermined selection code for said communication information corresponds to a high priority transmission and said wireless device is operating in said second operation mode said signal provider is configured to place said wireless device in said first mode and to transmit said communication information.

Abstract
A communications system allows the user of a wireless communications device to prioritize the incoming communications by the source of the incoming communications such that even when the user disables the notification function of the wireless communications device, the user is contemporaneously alerted of certain incoming communications having predetermined priority assigned thereto. The user of wireless telecommunications device is notified of incoming communication which the user has designated with high level priority even when the user has disabled the notification function of the wireless communications device.
