A procedure to transmit information at a telephone answering service, especially in mobile telephone systems. The telephone answering service has a voice mailbox for recording of speech, and also transmits a text message to the mobile telephone especially via SMS (short Message Service). The procedure makes possible an improved functionality in the system in so far as the text message is transmitted in parallel to the mobile telephone from which listening to the voice mailbox is performed. The text message usually contains a telephone number which can be connected with applications in the mobile terminal. The procedure makes it possible that telephone numbers or personal messages, manually or automatically, are stored in the mobile answer function and are transmitted to the listening mobile terminal.
