1. A portable telephone apparatus comprising:
- a location detector for detecting movement of a portable telephone from outside a predetermined area into the predetermined area;
an input portion for accepting input, by a user, of the predetermined area, of an e-mail message, and of a date/time condition that determines when the location detector performs detection;
a time keeper for keeping a current date and time;
a memory for storing at least the e-mail message and the date/time condition in a pair; and
a transmitter for sending the e-mail message stored in the memory to a predetermined addressee,wherein when the date/time condition is fulfilled, the location detector performs detection within a period specified by the date/time condition and, if the date/time condition has not been entered, the location detector performs detection continuously so that, when the location detector detects movement of the portable telephone from outside the predetermined area into the predetermined area, the e-mail message is read out from the memory and is sent by the transmitter.

2. A portable telephone apparatus comprising:
-
a current location detector for detecting a current location of a portable telephone; an input portion for accepting input, by a user, of a predetermined area, of an e-mail message, and of a date/time condition that determines when the location detector performs detection; a time keeper for keeping a current date and time; a memory for storing at least the e-mail message, the predetermined area, and the date/time condition in a set; and a transmitter for sending the e-mail message stored in the memory to a predetermined addressee, wherein when the date/time condition is fulfilled, the location detector performs detection within a period specified by the date/time condition and, if the date/time condition has not been entered, the location detector performs detection continuously so that, when the current location is detected as having moved into the predetermined area stored in the memory, the e-mail message is read out from the memory and is sent by the transmitter.
