Abstract

PURPOSE:To send a message even when a mobile set is at the outside of a talking enable zone by making dialing to the mobile set through a wired telephone line network when a master set records a message to a recording and reproducing section to detect interruption of talking. CONSTITUTION:When a recording content automatic transfer section 25 of a master set detects talking interruption after a message is recorded, a signal used to make dialing to a telephone number registered as a cellular telephone set of a mobile set through a wired line network is outputted to a control section 16. Upon the receipt of a signal, the control section 16 makes a dialing to the mobile set through a wired line network. When the talking state is reached, a transfer section 25 outputs a signal used to reproduce the message and the reproduction section 19 outputs the recorded message via a voice processing section 15, a changeover section 24 and a telephone line network interface section 14. Thus, even when the mobile set is at the outside of a talking available zone, the message is sent.
