At this time, the name can be entered as “Hiragana”, “Katakana”, “English character”, or “Numeric”, but if Kana-Kanji conversion is used, the name (for example, Nihon Ichiro) is written in Kanji as shown in FIG. Can be entered. Next, operation key 1
8 is set to the first telephone number input mode. Then
The screen of the LCD 22 is as shown in FIG.
When a telephone number is entered, a telephone number (eg, 07
0 ...) is displayed.

After inputting the telephone number, the set key of the operation keys 18 is operated, and then the e-mail address input mode is selected from the screen of the LCD 22 using, for example, an up / down key. At this time, a second telephone number input mode, a group input mode, or the like can be selected using the up / down key in place of the e-mail address input mode.

When the e-mail address input mode is selected, characters of "address" are displayed on the screen of the LCD 22, as shown in FIG. Thereafter, the user inputs the e-mail address 32 as shown in FIG. 2E using the numeric keys, the * key, and the # key.

Thereafter, the registration is completed by operating the set key of the operation keys 18, and "next registration" or "end" can be selected by operating the up / down feed key and the set key.

The contents registered in the RAM 19 as described above are retrieved at the time of telephone or e-mail transmission,
