International ClassH04Q 007/06AbstractA method of communicating an incoming call through a telephone receiver having an incoming call circuit and an audible signal system operatively connected to the circuit. The incoming call is communicated to a person remotely located from the receiver. The method comprises disconnecting the audible signal system, and placing on the person a pager having a receiver circuit capable of sensing the existence of an incoming call destined for the incoming call circuit of the telephone receiver. The pager having a silent announcer thereon operatively connected to the receiver circuit of the pager. Thus, the presence of an incoming call can be transmitted to the receiver circuit of the pager to actuate the vibrator without actuating the audible signal system of the telephone receiver. | |
