ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein are a phone-call apparatus, a phone-call method, a communication control apparatus, a communication control method, and a program. In a phone-integrated terminal, a CPU controls a communication unit to implement a phone conversation with a communication partner through a communication network. An audio signal input to a microphone of an input unit is transmitted to the communication partner by way of the communication unit. On the other hand, an audio signal transmitted from the communication partner is output to earphones or a speaker in an audio reproduction unit. The audio signal output to the earphones or the speaker in the audio reproduction unit is superposed on a musical signal reproduced from a memory card. Thus, the user can listen to not only a voice of the communication partner but also music reproduced as BGM during the phone conversation. As a result, the user can enjoy the phone conversation.
