Abstract
A telephone number memory stores telephone numbers which are divided into telephone number groups, and a response message memory stores response messages corresponding to the telephone number groups. In the automatic response mode, when a call is generated, a telephone number of a caller is checked as to whether the telephone number is stored in the telephone number memory, and, when the same telephone number is found therein, a response message of the telephone number group, to which the received telephone number belongs, is transmitted to the caller.
