Abstract
A telephone system having a message recording function which records in a voice mail recorder a voice message received from a calling party during absence of a called party and vocally reproduces the recorded message in response to a request from called party. The telephone system, which is preferably connected with such a network that a calling party identification data is included in an incoming signal, comprises a voice conversion means for converting a telephone number of the calling party into a voice signal on the basis of the calling party identification data and a control means for vocally reproducing the calling party's telephone number converted into the voice signal together with the voice message from the calling party recorded in the voice mail recorder, whereby, even when the calling party himself does not leave his telephone number in the message, the called party can listen to and know the telephone number as part of the voice message from the calling party.
