A method for use in a wireless communication device, cellular telephone,
pager or personal digital assistant (PDA) is shown in which Caller ID
data originating from the public switched telephone network or other
caller identifying data is received in a paging signal and compared to
contact data stored in memory that is associated with actual or potential
communicants. Contact data may be entered into a database in the wireless
communication device using a detachable input interface, a touch display,
a personal computer or a wireless receiver. The data may include name,
telephone number, fax number, address, email, image, video or sound data.
When a match is determined between the Caller ID or other caller
identifying data contained in a wireless paging signal and at least one
database record recorded in memory, images or other information
associated with the communicant are displayed or annunciated at the
wireless device.
