The present invention relates to a text message service method of a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly, to a text message service method of a mobile communication terminal which can reduce the damage of a prank text message and provide convenience to a user.

Recently, many people use a text message service that can exchange short messages among functions of a mobile communication terminal such as a mobile phone.

In addition, when the other party requests the phone number of a person, the phone number may be transmitted to the other terminal by using a text message service.

Next, a process of transmitting, receiving and making a phone call to the counterpart terminal using a conventional text message service method will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

When the user requests a text message from the other party, for example, a friend's phone number of a person (hereinafter referred to as 'third party') that the user knows, the user searches for a third party's phone number stored in the terminal.

Then, the friend memorizes or notes the third party's telephone number and directly enters the numeric keys to perform a telephone call with the third party.

However, as can be seen in the above process, the conventional text message service, the sender must memorize the third party's telephone number requested by the receiver, and then directly input the message into the message input window, and then the receiver also transmits the third party's telephone number. After receiving the text message entered by the user memorize directly, and then enter the phone number directly to connect the call with a third party, so the number of times of key input increases and the user (sender, recipient) memorizing the phone number There is a problem that the input speed is slow because of the input, and can be annoying to the user.

In addition, the conventional text message service can send a prank text message because the caller's phone number can be edited when the text message is transmitted, and there is a problem that can cause a lot of inconvenience due to such a prank text message.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and includes two or more callers to input an automatically input calling terminal number which is not editable by the calling party and one or more calling party telephone numbers which can be input by user selection.

The present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of sequentially displaying the caller's telephone number on the caller's telephone number display window when the caller's telephone number of the received text message is two or more; And adding a telephone number selection function to the caller telephone number display window so that the user can select one of the two or more displayed caller telephone numbers.

With reference to the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the text message service method of the present invention mobile communication terminal having the above characteristics will be described in detail.

2 is a flow chart illustrating an embodiment of a text message transmission process of a mobile communication terminal according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, displaying two or more caller's phone number input windows for inputting a caller's phone number for a text message to be transmitted by the user; automatically inputting the calling terminal's phone number in the caller's phone number input window; The caller inputs the caller's phone number in the remaining caller's phone number input window by selecting and transmits a text message to the receiver terminal using at least one phone number inputted in the caller's phone number input window.
