Abstract

A calling method in a mobile terminal is provided to enable a user, who has bad sight, to visually and audibly recognize a phone number inputted to make a call by enlarging and displaying the digits of the phone number one by one on the whole screen and announcing each of them by voice. The control part of a mobile terminal, if a key is inputted, judges whether the mobile terminal is in an idle screen state(S11,S13). If so, the control part judges whether the inputted key is a numeric key(S15). If so, the control part judges whether the mobile terminal is in a whole screen display mode to display the digits of a phone number one by one on the whole screen(S17). In case the present mode of the mobile terminal is the whole screen display mode, the control part displays the digit equivalent to the inputted numeric key on the whole screen and temporarily stores it(S19). Then the control part judges again whether key input is generated(S21). If the input of a key is generated, the control part judges whether the inputted key is the SEND key(S23). If so, the control part reads temporarily stored digits, or the digits of the phone number, in sequence and announces them by voice(S25). If the SEND key is pushed again, the control part dials the temporarily stored digits in sequence and makes a call(S27,S29).
