Abstract
A novel paging technology allows a pager user limited wireless access to the internet via a paging system. The pager user may file an interest profile with the pager system service provider listing internet sites from which the pager user desires information. The service provider may access those sites and provide the information to the subscriber'"'"'s pager either regularly or when signalled to do so by the pager user. The pager may further include an input device, such as a virtual keyboard, with which e-mail or chat room messages may be entered. The pager then transmits the messages to the paging system which conveys them to the internet.
