The present invention relates to communication system comprising first and second communication devices () each capable of communicating with a telecommunications network (), and both being connectable to each other by a data link () for information transfer and to a method for operating the same. The first communication device () contains individual information, and the second communication device () comprises a special memory area () for storing individual information acquired from the first communication device (). To enable an improved and facilitated usage of the system comparator means () for comparing the individual information contained in the first communication device () with that stored in the special memory area () of the second communication () device are provided. Therefore, only changes of the individual information of the first communication device () are stored in the second communication device () after comparing the individual information from the first communication device () stored in the second communication device () with the individual information in the first communication device () when the first communication device () is connected again to the second communication device ().

Communication system and method for operating such a system

In a communication device () comprising a message function (SMS, Short Message Service) a certain short message () or other reply message is sent in response to an incoming call in a situation where the user can't answer the call him/herself. The reply message can be sent immediately () or after a short delay (), whereby during the delay, the user can choose, whether he/she answers him/herself. The calling party () is identified from the CLI information (Caller Line Identity), whereby the reply message can be chosen according to the calling party. Time information can be included in the reply message in order to express at which time by the clock or after a how long time the receiving party is reachable. After that time the automatic reply function based on the reply message is automatically disconnected.

The invention relates to a cellular telecommunications system having n cells ( ), each of which is assigned an antenna ( ) via which a base station ( ) can transmit and receive, all n cells being assigned only one common base station with n antennas which can be switched over, and n being &gE;2.

In a communication device (,) comprising a message function (SMS, Short Message Service) a certain short message (,) or other reply message is sent in response to an incoming call in a situation where the user can't answer the call him/herself. The reply message can be sent immediately (,) or after a short delay (,), whereby during the delay, the user can choose, whether he/she answers him/herself. The calling party (,) is identified from the CLI information (Caller Line Identity), whereby the reply message can be chosen according to the calling party. Time information can be included in the reply message in order to express at which time by the clock or after a how long time the receiving party is reachable. After that time the automatic reply function based on the reply message is automatically disconnected.

The invention relates to a method and a device for displaying the time in a mobile telephone, the intention being that there should not be a clock module in said mobile telephone and that the standard used for the communication between the mobile telephone and its base station will not be modified. For this purpose, a counter signal which is transmitted by the base station is initialized in such a way that it always has a specific counter reading at a specific time, as a result of which the time can be calculated in a mobile telephone on the basis of this received counter reading.
