The term 'summoned, in a way' can be described by three different crossword solutions: BEEPED (6 letters), PAGED (5 letters) and rang (4 letters). Beeping is a sound made by an electronic device, such as a phone or computer, to indicate that something needs attention. Paging is a communication system used to send a message to a person or group of people, usually via a loudspeaker or a two-way radio. Rang is the past tense of the verb 'RING', which means to make a sound with a bell or other instrument. All three of these terms describe a way of summoning someone, either electronically or audibly.
