Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide required information to the user by voice reply through the use of a terminal set for communication with a base station. SOLUTION: The user uses a radio communication terminal set 1 to call a base station 2. The base station receives a call signal by a reception circuit RX and a control circuit 3 controls each element to set to an inter-slave-set speech state with the terminal set and sends an overall guide stored in a storage circuit 4 to the terminal set as a voice signal from a transmission circuit TX. The user hears the overall guide and selects a desired information item by using a keyboard switch of the terminal set. The base station receiving a signal from the terminal set by a reception circuit sends the information of the selected item by the transmission circuit. The user hears the information and finds out any further desired selection item, then the user repeats the procedure above and acquires the information.
