Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus processes a voice message for a selective call transceiver (SCT) (110) in a selective call communication system. A fixed portion (100) of the system accepts and stores (602) the message, transmits (604) a message notification indicative of message size to the SCT, and transmits (608) the message to the SCT in response to receiving therefrom a first acknowledgment. The SCT receives (702) the message notification, and determines (704) whether sufficient memory space is available for storing the message. If so, the SCT transmits (706) the first acknowledgment, and thereafter receives and stores (708) the message. If not, the SCT notifies (716) the user about the memory insufficiency, and withholds (718) the first acknowledgment until an execution of a predetermined control sequence by the user within a predetermined period. If the control sequence is executed in time, the SCT sends (720) the first acknowledgment, and thereafter receives and audibly reproduces (722) the voice message without storing the voice message.
