ABSTRACT:
A telephone apparatus includes, in combination, a handset unit and a voice message recording unit that is supported on the handset unit so as to be disposed at the general vicinity of the user's mouth when the handset unit is in the use position thereof. The recording unit may be both physically and electrically interposed between the handset unit and a telephone cord leading to a base unit of the telephone apparatus, in which case the loudspeaker of the handset unit can be used by the recording unit as well, or be mounted on or physically incorporated within a flap of the handset unit, or be partially received in an externally disposed pocket of a case for the handset unit. In these instances, the recording unit is self-contained in that it has its own device for processing electrical signals issued by a recording device of the recording unit and representative of prerecorded sounds into audible sounds, be it a built-in loudspeaker or an FM transmitter that broadcasts signals to be picked up and converted into the audible sounds by a nearby radio receiver.
