In this effort the RTCS (11) currently serving the RT subscriber (15) receives information and a callback number indicating that a call, placed to the RT subscriber (15), is in progress at a remote RTCS (21 or 31). In response, the currently serving RTCS (11) pages the RT subscriber (15). Thereafter, upon receipt of the RT subscriber's page response, the currently serving RTCS (11) calls the callback number so as to connect the RT subscriber (15) to the call in progress.Other References
