6. A method of processing a text message in a communication device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a text message from an external sender; transforming the received text message into voice data; checking whether an external sound reproduction device is reproducing sound data which is transmitted by the communication device itself; and transmitting the sound data to the external sound reproduction device through a first channel and the transformed voice data to the external sound reproduction device through a second channel, if the external sound reproduction device is reproducing the sound data, wherein the first channel and second channel are physically separated and are used for the external sound reproduction device.
