Abstract
A cordless telephone apparatus comprising a master unit connected to a telephone line and slave units each connected to the master unit via a radio wave channel. The master unit includes a recording/reproducing circuit for recording an incoming message from a calling party on the telephone line and reproducing the recorded message in response to a request. The recording/reproducing circuit has a recording medium to record and reproduce the message, and a management area to manage the messages recorded on the recording medium. When the incoming message from the calling party is recorded on the recording medium in the recording/reproducing circuit, data for managing such message recording is registered in the management area in response to a key designation corresponding to the slave unit. And when a predetermined key operation is performed in the slave unit, the message relative to the key-operated slave unit is reproduced from the recording medium in accordance with the data registered in the management area.
