Abstract
In the present technique for dispatch call setups, a determination (608) is made as to whether an unavailable mode to accept dispatch call requests has been enabled in response a dispatch call request identified by a dispatch caller identifier being received (604). If so, another determination (614) is made as to whether a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier is available, and when such a custom greeting is available, it is used to respond (616) to the dispatch call request.
Claims20
A method of responding to dispatch call requests comprising:
- receiving a dispatch call request identified by a dispatch caller identifier;
- determining whether an unavailable mode to accept the dispatch call requests has been enabled;
- determining whether a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier is available when the unavailable mode has been enabled;
- responding with the custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier when a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier is available.
A method of responding to dispatch call requests comprising:
- detecting an unavailable time period to accept dispatch call requests;
- enabling an unavailable mode based on the unavailable time period to accept dispatch call requests;
- at least partially shutting down a transceiver at a mobile station responsive to the unavailable mode being enabled.
An apparatus for responding to dispatch call requests comprising:
- a transceiver circuit that receives a dispatch call request identified by a dispatch caller identifier;
- an unavailable mode circuit operably coupled to the transceiver circuit, wherein the unavailable mode circuit determines whether an unavailable mode to accept dispatch call requests has been enabled responsive to the dispatch call request;
- a custom greeting responder circuit operably coupled to the unavailable mode circuit, wherein the custom greeting responder circuit determines whether a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier is available responsive to the unavailable mode being enabled and that responds with a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier responsive a custom greeting associated with the dispatch caller identifier being available.
