Abstract
In the present technique, a dispatch call setup determines (508) whether an auto-reply as a response to a polite dispatch call request is available. If so, a dispatch call blocked using the available auto-reply is sent (512) as a response to the polite dispatch call request. In response to an impolite dispatch call request being received (504, 506), a determination (528) occurs regarding whether an impolite request is allowed, and if not, the impolite dispatch call request is rejected (522). Otherwise, a dispatch call page is sent (534) to indicate the impolite dispatch call request.
