Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give a message to the utilizer of a slave set without caller's repeated call by providing a voice storing part and a slave set calling control part for a master set and recording the message in the voice storing part when the slave set is outside of a call coverage range so as to transfer it to the utilizer of the slave set when the returns to the inside of the call coverage range. SOLUTION: The master set 14 is provided with a cellular radio part 1, a control part 7, the voice storing part 16, the slave set calling control part 17, etc. At the time of being outside of the radio reaching range of the master set 14, the slave set 15 does not receive the radio wave and does not receive the response signal of the master set 14. The control part 7 records the message in the voice storing part 16, the slave set calling control part 17 requires the control part 7 to call the slave set, and the control part 7 makes the radio wave outputted from the antenna 6 every fixed time. If the slave set is within the radio coverage range at this time, the slave set receives this radio ware and outputs a response signal to the master set. Then on the side of the master set, the control part 7 judges the possibility of communication with the slave set and transmits the message recorded in the voice storing part to the slave set.
