Abstract
In a mobile telephone terminal, a vibrator is provided for producing tactile sensation. In response to an input signal from a manual input device during a speech mode of communication, a vibrator-on signal is transmitted from the mobile telephone terminal to a mobile network. In response to the vibrator-on signal from the network, the vibrator is activated to produce tactile sensation. Preferably, a table memory is provided for mapping a number of signaling codes to a number of corresponding items of information. One of the signaling codes is selected in response to an input signal from the manual input device and the vibrator-on signal is transmitted to the network for indicating the selected signal code.
