Abstract
A selective calling receiver detects a message contained in the received selective calling signal and a message identification code given to this message. A counter counts the number of messages for each message identification code and generates the count value, and the messages and said count value are stored in a memory. When the messages stored in the memory are displayed, the message having the message identification code whose count value is greater is first displayed. Continuously, the message of the message identification number is displayed in order of a greater count value.
