Claim 9

A wireless voice messaging device comprising: a cassette-shaped body adapted to be inserted into a cassette player in lieu of a cassette; receiving means, disposed in said cassette shaped body, for receiving incoming call signals including at least one incoming voice message; memory means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, for storing said at least one incoming voice message and recalling said at least one incoming voice message in response to a first control signal; transducer means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, for establishing an operative connection with a play head of the cassette player for transferring said at least one incoming voice message recalled from said memory means to said play head; and control signal generating means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body and responsive to operation of said cassette player, for detecting a mode of operation of the cassette player and controlling a mode of operation of the wireless voice messaging device in response thereto.

Claim 10

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 6, further comprising: transmitting means, disposed in said cassette shaped body, for transmitting outgoing call signals including at least one voice message.

Claim 11

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 6, wherein the control signal generating means, in response to detecting a PLAY mode of operation of the cassette player, generates the first control signal.

Claim 12

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 8, wherein, in response to a second control signal, the transducer means is further adapted to transfer at least one outgoing voice messages, generated via a microphone of the cassette player, from a record head of the cassette player to said memory means.

Claim 13

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 9, wherein the control signal generating means, in response to detecting a RECORD mode of operation of the cassette player, generates the second control signal.

Claim 14

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 10, further comprising: transmitting means, disposed in said cassette shaped body, for transmitting outgoing call signals including said at least one outgoing voice message.

Claim 15

The wireless voice messaging device according to claim 6, further comprising a liquid crystal display, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, and wherein the incoming call signals include at least one incoming text message to be displayed on said liquid crystal display.

Claim 16

A two-way voice pager comprising: a cassette-shaped body adapted to be inserted into a cassette player in lieu of a cassette; receiving means, disposed in said cassette shaped body, for receiving incoming call signals including at least one incoming voice message; memory means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, for storing said at least one incoming voice message and recalling said at least one incoming voice message in response to a first control signal; connection means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, for establishing an operative connection with a play head of the cassette player for transferring said at least one incoming voice message recalled from said memory means to said play head; control signal generating means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body and responsive to operation of said cassette player, for detecting a mode of operation of the cassette player and controlling a mode of operation of the two-way voice pager in response thereto by generating corresponding control signals; and transmitter means, disposed in said cassette-shaped body, for transmitting outgoing call signals, including at least one outgoing voice message, in response to a second control signal, said at least one outgoing voice message transferred from said cassette player to said memory means via said connection means.
