An exemplary method in a wireless telecommunication system determines that
a radio frequency (RF) communications link is not available to a wireless
mobile. Information about a party originating a call to the wireless
mobile is received and stored in a record associated with the wireless
mobile. An alert flag associated with the wireless mobile is set. Upon
determining that an RF link has become available to the wireless mobile
and upon detecting the presence of the set alert flag, a communication
action is automatically taken by which the party is made aware that an RF
link is available to the wireless mobile, such as by sending a message to
the party based on information stored about the party in the record.
