Methods and systems are disclosed herein that may help to improve the paging success rate for hybrid mobile stations, which in turn may help to prevent dropped calls. An exemplary method for paging an access terminal involves an access network: (a) before transmission of a page to an access terminal, determining whether or not the access terminal is a hybrid access terminal; (b) if the access terminal is not a hybrid access terminal, then selecting standard page settings for the page; (c) if the access terminal is a hybrid access terminal, then selecting adjusted page settings for the page, wherein the adjusted page settings increase the probability that the access terminal will successfully receive the page; and (d) applying the selected page settings and transmitting the page. To help increase the probability that the access terminal will successfully receive the page, the adjusted page settings for the page may involve setting that reduces or disables concatenation of the page and/or an increased page-transmission power.
