2) Call etc. CTI installed in TA or Router, etc. even if you are not in a call due to receiving a call
The computer (FIGS. 1-3) receives the calling number through. Next, the transmission number is used to determine the company name and the affiliation area by the number identification database server (drawing 1-4) (extraction of the domain name). Further, the e-mail address reproduction server (FIG. 1-5) automatically reproduces the e-mail address based on the transmission number and the domain name. The reproduced e-mail address is transferred to a mail server for transmission (FIG. 1-6), and a guide message (FIG. 1-7) in which a URL or the like is described is inserted into the mobile phone as an e-mail (FIG. 1-1).
