ABSTRACT:
In a personal communication system in which a call is originated from a calling side terminal equipment using number information allocated to a called person and the call is processed on the called side terminal equipment as a personal call, the system comprises: a proxy answering section disposed on the called side terminal equipment, for transmitting proxy answer information indicating that a proxy person other than the called person intends to answer the personal call, to the calling side terminal equipment when the number information allocated to the proxy person is inputted during a processing of the personal call; and a notifying section disposed on the calling side terminal equipment, for notifying a calling person that the proxy person intends to answer. Therefore, when a personal call is incoming, if the designated specific called person is absent, the calling person can recognize that the called person is absent and that the proxy person can answer, and then can select cancellation of the personal call, answer by the proxy person, or transfer of the personal call, according to the calling person's will.
