The present invention provides a remote notification device in electronic
communication with a user's personal communication device that alerts the
user that the personal communication device is receiving an incoming
telecommunications signal. A user who is not in operable contact with the
communication device is alerted to the incoming call, message, or page by
the remote notification device, which is in operable contact with the
user, and alerts the user with a suitable indication (e.g., visual,
audible, and/or tactile). The remote notification device preferably
permits the user to not alter his or her desired appearance in social
situations. The remote notification device is easily concealable or
integral to an article of clothing, piece of jewelry, piercing, or
accessory that the user desires to wear or carry independent of the
desire to be notified of incoming calls, messages, or pages.
