Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a voice mail to be listened to its end immediately when the voice mail desired to be listened to during program search reproduction by devising the system so that an optional voice mail is subject to normal reproduction even when the program search reproduction reproducing the head of voice mail is not finished to all mails. CONSTITUTION:A voice mail trunk 4 consists of an interface section 6, a voice mail storage section 7 storing sent voice mails in the unit of voice mails sequen tially, and a voice mail reproduction section 8 reading and reproducing the voice mail. When the user of a destination terminal device listening to the voice mail by means of a program search reproduction means of the voice mail reproduction section 8 finds out a desired voice mail, a switch means operates the normal reproduction means, then the entire voice mail subject to program search and reproduction by the program search reproduction means at that time is reproduced. Thus, a reproduction request subscriber listens to all the desired voice mail while the head of each voice mail addressed to the subscriber is consecutively listening to.
