Known is a telecommunications system supporting adding calling party information to a call from a calling subscriber device to a called subscriber device. The called subscriber device comprises call logging means for logging unanswered calls in a date-time-stamp order. If the logging table is full, the oldest and last table entry is dropped from the logging table. This may result in undesired dropping of urgent frequent callers if the called party is absent and many callers having one call unanswered call after the frequent and urgent caller. A telecommunications system is provided wherein per calling subscriber unanswered calls are counted. Logging table entries of frequent callers are updated, a call count value is displayed, and a previous entry is deleted. Frequent unanswered calls may be put on top of the logging table or the logging table may be sorted in a decreasing order of call count numbers.

Telecommunications system and a subscriber device

A method of manufacturing a plate-shaped permanent magnet (7) which is to be arranged in an air gap of a core (1) for a transformer or choke coil and which consists of a number of permanent magnetic portions (29) which are made of a metal alloy having a high magnetic remanence and which are magnetized perpendicularly to the plane of the plate. A plate (11) of the alloy is fixed between two insulating foils (13, 15) after which this assembly is arranged on a flat backing (17) and is rolled in two mutually perpendicular directions (25, 27) by means of a cylinder (19) whose outer surface is provided with grooves (23). The plate (11) is thus very simply fractured to form a very large number of portions (29).
