telephone number from which he is calling, including the country
code. This allows the system to know where to send the user's
receiving messages, and all of his messages from the last 24
hours will be retransmitted. From this disclosure of Gaskill, an
originating user will be able to page the receiving user without
necessarily knowing what country the receiving user is in.
However, Gaskill does not disclose that the paging system
determines if the second country currently designated by the
receiving user is the designated country in which the paging
system is to first attempt to page the receiving user, as Gaskill
retransmits messages to a different number than the receiving
user's pager number. However, in view of the teachings of Lucas
(col. 6, lines 3-9) of the system automatically determining if
the pager was outside of the user's home area and automatically
forwarding the pages to the user throughout the entire area
covered by the system, and in view of Oliwa's teaching (col. 4,
lines 6 and 7) of the system automatically determining if the
pager was outside of the user's home area and automatically
forwarding the pages to the user at a different network, we find
that an artisan would have been motivated to automatically detect
the location of the user, instead of requiring the user to call
the system with a telephone number at which he could be reached.
