Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain phone call surely to a destination with high importance by comparing a destination telephone number with a stored telephone number and releasing the automatic answering telephone mode only for an incoming call from a specific opposite party. CONSTITUTION:When an optional opposite party is called and the opposite party sets the automatic answering telephone mode and a message is given to the opposite party, a message requesting a callback is sent and a dial 109 is operated, Then the destination telephone number is registered in a telephone number storage section 113 and the automatic answering telephone mode is set. A control circuit 116 receiving control data extracts a caller telephone number and sets the extracted telephone number to a telephone number comparator section 114. The comparator section 114 compares the telephone number of the telephone number storage section 113 with the destination telephone number and informs the result to the circuit 116. When they are coincident, the circuit 116 generates an incoming call tone and when dissident, the circuit 116 validates an automatic answering telephone set circuit 115 to generate an automatic answering telephone message. Thus, a destination with high importance is surely called with priority.
