Abstract: A device and method are disclosed for saving stored messages in a digital stored voice paging receiver (10). The digital stored voice paging receiver (10) includes a plurality of message slots, each slot capable of storing a digitized voice message. A status value associated with a message slot is representative of the status of the message in the slot. A first embodiment of the method stores messages in the message slots by chronologically replacing older messages. A second embodiment of the method orders the stored messages in a predetermined priority. A stored message is replaced by an incoming message when the incoming message priority status is greater than the stored message priority status.

Abstract: A selective call paging receiver (10) for receiving analog voice information converts the analog information to digital information and stores the digital information in a memory (50) of the paging receiver. In a first embodiment, the paging receiver (10) includes a hardware controlled decoder (14) and an audio producing module (64). The memory (50) is divided into a plurality of fixed storage areas to allow the decoder (14) to store a digitized voice message in one of the fixed storage area. If the storage capacity of the fixed storage area is not filled, the audio producing module (64) fills the remainder with a digitized predetermined audio signal. In a second embodiment, the paging receiver includes a microprocessor controlled decoder (28). The microprocessor (28) stores a digitized voice message in the memory (50), depending upon the length of the voice message, thus eliminating the fixed storage area.
