Abstract
A digital mobile communication terminal with a SMS (Short Message Service) function stores user predefined messages which are frequently used and transmits a short message by using the user predefined messages. The communication terminal determines whether a short message transmission mode is set through a user interface and determines whether a user predefined message using mode is set, if the short message transmission mode is set. The user predefined messages are read in sequence from the memory and displayed on a display, if the user predefined message using mode is set. Subsequently, a selected one of the user predefined messages is displayed and edited according to edit data or input data received from the user interface. After editing the short message, the communication terminal transmits the edited short message to a designated telephone number.
