Now when a telephone call is placed to a mobile user,the MSC (mobile switching center) dispatches the request to all base stations in the cellular system. The MIN (mobile identification No.), which is subscriber telephone no, is then broadcast as a paging message over all of the FCC throughout cellular system. now the mobile receives the paging message and responds by identifying itself over the reverse control channel(RCC).

Now the Base station receives the acknowledgment and tell the MSC about the handshake. The MSC instruct the Base station to move the call to an unused voice channel within the cell. At this point ,the BS signals the mobile to change the frequency to an unused forward & reverse voice channel pair, at this alert signal is transmitted to the called subscriber.
