Abstract

A processor extracts a numeral string from a pager message which has been received via a pager antenna and a pager-signal receiving unit, and retrieves a telephone number including that numeral from a built-in telephone directory memory. The retrieved telephone number is displayed on a display unit, making it possible to determine a complete telephone number.
