The control unit allocates a radio communication channel with the radio base station via the antenna unit, and automatically sends the credit identification information stored in the memory in advance to the credit center of the exchange automatically. In this way, the credit center of the exchange completes the authentication of the credit call contractor based on the credit identification information, and connects to the call connection destination. At the end of the call, charge information is created and then sent to the payment account of the credit call subscriber.

[Operation] When the credit identification information sent from the mobile phone terminal is received by the exchange, it is used for authentication of the credit telephone contractor. The credit identification information includes credit call identification, connection request type, credit number, password, etc., which are sequentially sent from the mobile phone terminal to the credit center of the exchange based on the connection control procedure for outgoing credit calls. . In the credit phone call connection system by the mobile phone terminal of the present invention, all or part of the credit identification information except the password is stored in advance in the mobile phone terminal.
(If there are multiple credit call subscribers, multiple credit identification information shall be stored.) Each time the user of the mobile phone terminal makes a credit call, the credit identification information of the push button This credit identification is performed automatically by simply pressing the credit calling button without inputting (when multiple credit calling subscribers are registered, it is also necessary to enter the selection number). Information is sent to the credit center one after another, the credit call contractor is authenticated, and the credit call connection method is used to enable connection with the call destination.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a credit call connection system by a mobile phone terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a commercially available mobile phone or PHS terminal, a fixed memory 11, a variable memory 12, a call-only button 17, and a control unit 7 for executing the credit call connection.
Is a wireless base station wirelessly connected to the mobile phone terminal, 3 is an exchange, 4 is a credit center of the exchange 3, and 5 is a call connection destination of the mobile phone 1.

Before making a credit call, the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 needs to make an initial setting for recording credit identification information in the fixed memory 11 or the variable memory 12 of the mobile phone terminal 1. This credit identification information includes credit call identification, connection request type, credit number, password and the like. When the user uses the keyboard 8 to request the initial setting of the credit identification information, the control unit 7 shows the operation guidance on the display unit 9. In the case of keyboard input, the push button 18 of the keyboard 8 is operated to set the credit identification information in the variable memory 12 for recording. On the other hand, in the case of data terminal input, the credit identification information previously input to the external data terminal is passed through the cable connected to the external data terminal connection plug 19 in the data terminal connection unit 13 of the mobile phone terminal 1. Then, the data is input and set in the variable memory 12 for recording. Further, this credit identification information can be initialized in the fixed memory 11 or the variable memory 12 when the mobile phone terminal is manufactured.
If there are multiple credit call subscribers, multiple credit identification information shall be stored.

When the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 makes a credit call to the radio base station 2 in the service area,
When the user presses the outgoing call-only button 17 on the keyboard 8 (when a plurality of credit call subscribers are registered, it is also necessary to input the selection number thereof), the control unit 7 is requested to make a credit call connection. Determine that

The antenna unit 6 requests the radio base station 2 to allocate the radio communication channel 20 based on an instruction from the control unit 7. When the allocation is completed, the control unit 7 controls the fixed memory 1
1 or the credit call identification recorded in the variable memory 12 is sent to the exchange 3 via the wireless base station 2. The exchange 3 determines that the credit call identification is a credit call, and connects the mobile phone terminal 1 to the credit center 4 of the exchange 3. The control unit 7 sequentially and automatically, based on the connection control procedure for sending a credit call, the fixed memory 1.
1 or the remaining credit identification information is acquired from the variable memory 12 and sent to the credit center 4. The credit center determines whether or not the user is the relevant credit calling subscriber based on the transmission information. In determining the credit calling contractor, the password corresponding to the credit number can be input by allowing the user of the mobile phone terminal 1 to directly operate the push button 18 instead of taking it out from the memory. When the authentication of the credit calling contractor at the credit center 4 is completed, the user inputs the telephone number of the call connection destination by dialing the push button 18. Based on this telephone number, the exchange 3 connects the mobile telephone terminal 1 and the call connection destination, and the call is started. When the call ends, the exchange 3 calculates the call charge and sends it to the credit center 4 together with other call information.
The credit center 4 sends the call charge to the payment account of the credit call contractor.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the call charges for mobile phones and PHS terminals are relatively high compared to the call charges for general subscriber phones, and the spread of mobile phone terminals is delayed. In the present situation, which is one of the factors, it aims to reduce the economic burden on the users of mobile phone terminals as much as possible. When a user of a personally owned mobile phone terminal uses it for the company and other business, it becomes possible to transfer the call charge for such business use to the company expense,
