ABSTRACT:
A ring voice message generating device for use in an automatic answering telephone system including a key input unit having alphanumeric keys or other function keys, for allowing a user to set the telephone system in a voice calling mode so that, upon reception of an incoming telephone call, a personalized voice message pre-recorded is announced in lieu of a standard ring tone to inform the user of such an incoming telephone call. Otherwise, the telephone system generates a standard ring tone if the voice calling mode is not set by the user. A ring detecting unit is connected to an incoming telephone line from a central exchange for detecting an incoming telephone call. An on/off hook switch is connected to the telephone system for forming a telephone conversation path when the user picks up the telephone handset to answer the incoming telephone call. A voice storing unit is provided for storing a personalized voice message for announcing the incoming telephone call when the telephone system is set in the voice calling mode. A ring generating unit is provided for generating a standard ring tone when the telephone system is not set in the voice calling mode. A mode selecting unit is provided for allowing the user to set the telephone system in one of a voice calling mode and a standard ring mode.
