If it is determined in step 303 that the abbreviated conversation mode has not been set, the process proceeds to step 307, and a normal voice call is made in step 307.
Next, at step 308, it is determined again whether or not the short talk mode has been set. If the determination in step 308 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 304. If the determination in step 308 is negative, step 3
At 09, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the determination in step 309 is negative, the process returns to step 307 and repeats the processes in steps 307 to 309. Step 30
If the determination of No. 9 is affirmative, the process proceeds to step 306.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 303 that the abbreviated conversation mode has been set, a call is made with the other party by operating the keys of the input unit 48 (step 304). For example, the alphabet key “A”, the numeric key “1”,
Subsequently, when the alphabetic key "B" and the numeric key "2" are sequentially operated, the message "Hello, OO" is sent from the memory area A of the message recording unit 55, and the message "I want to meet you tonight," Is selected, and the voice data (voice signal) indicating this message is compression-coded by the voice processing unit 54 and transmitted to the other party (the receiving side) via the communication unit 46 and the antenna 2. .

The other party (called side) receives the message by voice, and directly responds to the message by voice.
Alternatively, when the short conversation mode is set, a message is returned by operating the key of the input unit 48 in the same manner. For example, the user on the receiving side can select the alphabetic key “C” of the input unit 48,
By sequentially operating the numeric keys “4”, the message “Please wait at the usual place” is selected from the memory area C of the message recording unit 55, and the voice data (voice signal) indicating this message is The data is compression-encoded by the audio processing unit 54 and transmitted to the user on the transmitting side via the communication unit 46 and the antenna 2. In this way, a call is made with the other party.

Next, in step 305, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If the determination in step 305 is negative, the process returns to step 304 to continue the call. If the determination in step 305 is affirmative, a line disconnection process is performed (step 306), and the execution of this process ends.
