Abstract
A low-cost implementation of a voice message system is indicated. To that end, a digital signal processor (DSP) and a second memory (ROM) with program modules for executing the functions of 'automatic operator' and/or 'mailbox' are integrated in a digital telephone (TE4). In addition, the digital telephone (TE4) is able to execute an 'individual messages' function, whereby a message intended only for another telephone (TEA) is transmitted to this other telephone (TEA) by means of the digital telephone (TE4).
