    (54) Prioritization of stored messages in a digital voice paging receiver


    (57) A device and method are disclosed for saving stored messages in a digital stored voice paging receiver (10). The digital stored voice paging receiver (10) includes a plurality of message slots, each slot capable of storing a digitized voice message. A status value associated with a message slot is representative of the status of the message in the slot. A first embodiment of the method stores messages in the message slots by chronologically replacing older messages. A second embodiment of the method orders the stored messages in a predetermined priority. A stored message is replaced by an incoming message when the incoming message priority status is greater than the stored message priority status.
