Methods of processing and transmitting incoming call pages including information allowing a determination of the time allowed for response and related user terminals and communications systems

摘要

A method of processing an incoming call page from a radiotelephone communications system at a mobile user terminal includes receiving the incoming call page from the radiotelephone communications system at the mobile user terminal, and determining a period of time within which the mobile user terminal can respond to the incoming call. An indication of the period of time within which the user terminal can respond to the incoming call is then provided to a user of the mobile user terminal. In addition, the incoming call page can be one of a predetermined number of incoming call pages addressed to the mobile user terminal in a sequence wherein each of the incoming call pages in the sequence includes information identifying the respective incoming call page within the sequence. Accordingly, the step of determining the period of time within which the mobile user terminal can respond to the incoming call can include determining the number of incoming call pages in the sequence to follow.
