1. A computer-implemented method of operating a mobile communication terminal to regulate user alerts that are generated therefrom, the computer-implemented method comprising: responding to receipt of a defined message through a RF transceiver circuit while the terminal has remained stationary for at least a threshold time by setting an alert logic indicator through operations performed by the computer circuit; responding to sensed movement of the terminal while the alert logic indicator is set by generating a user alert from the terminal to a user through operations performed by the computer circuit; and responding to receipt at the terminal of a call paging message for an incoming call from a cellular system while the terminal has remained stationary for less than the threshold time by transferring the incoming call to is voice mailbox, which is associated with the terminal, after a first duration of the call paging message remaining unanswered by a user, wherein responding to receipt of a defined message through a RF transceiver circuit while the terminal has remained stationary for at least a threshold time by setting an alert logic indicator comprises responding to receipt at the terminal of the call paging message from the cellular system while the terminal has remained stationary for at least the threshold time by transferring the incoming call to the voice mailbox after a second duration, which is different than the first duration, of the call paging message remaining unanswered by the user.
