Also, with the current system, if you call using a home phone that someone other than yourself has a contract with, you will not be able to pay yourself for the call you have made. Furthermore, an information provision fee when various information is provided using a public telephone or a home telephone cannot be added to the call fee of a mobile telephone to which the user subscribes.

Further, a cable for connecting the device to the mobile phone and three switches (reading start button, speed dial call button, and call start button) are provided. When making a call using this system, first connect a mobile phone and a public phone with a cable. Next, when the reading start button is pressed, the data (speed dial and contract number) in the mobile phone is input to the public phone.

As a result, the number of used telephone cards that are difficult to reproduce can be reduced. Also, by registering the speed dial in the mobile phone, the data can be used in other telephones. In addition, when a plurality of persons use one home telephone, each person can pay the telephone charge for the telephone call. In addition, the use of public telephones as an option for mobile phones will evolve them from completely conventional telephones to just entirely new information service tools.
