Each pager apparatus responds to one or more identifying numbers so that a caller may send a paging message to one or a number of pager apparatus. The caller has a pager which is also paged to allow the caller to verify that the transmission of the page has occurred. Auditorium cutoff allows a local transmitter to disable the audio response of pagers within or entering into a local area.
