Abstract
A mobile telephone 2 stores a telephone number and address for data communication of an emergency service in a storage unit, and has a function for acquiring position information showing its own position. If the mobile telephone 2 is outside the range of a 1× network 4 when a telephone number of another party is designated, the mobile telephone 2 checks whether or not the designated telephone number is a telephone number of an emergency service. When the designated telephone number is confirmed to be the telephone number of an emergency service, the mobile telephone 2 retrieves the address of the emergency service from the storage unit, and sends an emergency notification that includes the position information over the EVDO network 5 with the retrieved address as the destination. The emergency notification message reaches a server 3b of the emergency service via the EVDO network 5.
