A radio system, including a fixed radio network having base stations and mobile radio stations. Each mobile station with no ongoing call normally monitors messages transmitted by a base station on a control channel in order to enable a fast call set-up. The user may select for a mobile station a normal operating mode, in which messages on the control channel are monitored continuously, as well as an alternative operating mode, in which the mobile station may stop monitoring the control channel at suitable moments for a time of absence known by the radio network, during which time the radio network does not try to send messages to the mobile station.
