ABSTRACT:
A communication apparatus is provided that can easily select either one of a public telephone network and an Internet communication network through which information is to be transmitted and that transmits the information through the selected communication network. A telephone line communication means (12) exhibits a disconnected state where no current flows between a telephone exchange and the telephone line communication means (12) when a first handset (14) is placed on a first placement section, while the telephone line communication means (12) exhibits a connected state where a current flows between the telephone exchange and the telephone line communication means (12) when the first handset (14) is not placed on the first placement section. A user can switch the disconnected state and the connected state when placing the first handset (14) on the first placement section or taking up the first handset (14) from the first placement section. A line state detecting section (26) detects whether the line state is the disconnected state or the connected state. The communication apparatus (1) transmits image information through the Internet communication network in the disconnected state, and it transmits image information through the public telephone network in the connected state.
