Subscribers to a paging service may elect to identify specific CL1 (Caller Line ID) numbers and assign to those numbers a specific lkvel of paging priority. Thus pages received from one particular telephone number automatically receive a higher priority in the paging sys- tem while calls originating! from other telephone num- bers may receive a lower level of priority. Calls received from telephone numbers which have not been identi- tied by the subscriber will receive a default level of pag- ing priority.
