Abstract
A switching center 30 comprises a memory part M2, a memory part M3, and a memory part M4. The memory part M2 stores a terminating terminal number corresponding to and registered by each subscriber. The memory part M3 stores idle/busy information corresponding to each terminal. The memory part M4 stores idle/busy information corresponding to each subscriber. When a subscriber 11.sub.1 makes a call at a terminal 12.sub.2, the switching center 30 determines whether the idle/busy information for the subscriber 11.sub.1 stored in the memory part M4 is idle or busy. When the idle/memory information represents idle, the switching center 30 refers to the idle/busy information for the terminal 12.sub.2 stored in the memory part M3. When this idle/busy information represents idle, the switching center 30 reads out the terminal number of a terminating terminal of a terminating subscriber stored in the terminating terminal memory part M2 and performs an outgoing call connection process. At this point, the switching center 30 also sets the idle/busy information for the subscriber 11.sub.1 and the terminal 12.sub.2 to busy state. When the subscriber 11.sub.1 makes a call, while the terminating t…
