Abstract
Abstract When a remote unit ( 113 ) accesses a cellular communication system ( 100 ) via an uplink communication signal ( 119 ), a Mobile Switching Center ( 104 ) notifies a voice-mail system ( 114 ) that the remote unit ( 113 ) is available for communication. The voice-mail system ( 114 ) then establishes a connection via a base station ( 102 ) and the downlink communication signal ( 116 ), to the remote unit ( 113 ). Once connection has been established between the voice-mail system ( 114 ) and the remote unit ( 113 ), the remote unit ( 113 ) downloads the voice-mail message from voice-mail system ( 114 ) for storage internal to the remote unit ( 113 ).
