Abstract

In a movable communication system, when one or more areas where special services other than a calling service and a call-incoming service are supplied to a personal station are predetermined, the content of the special services to be supplied to the personal station are notified to the personal station. For example, when a personal station located in a predetermined area in which the call-incoming to the personal station is prohibited has a call-incoming thereto, a base station covering the area supplies the personal station with a call-incoming service of prohibiting the paging to the personal station to prohibit the connection between the personal station and a caller, and also transmitting to the personal station a message indicating that there has been the call-incoming. Further, the base station transmits to the personal station a message indicating that the personal station is located in a call-incoming prohibited area.
