The called person sets an ID-card-type portable device memorizing one's own personal identification information in a card reader of a telephone set, and communicates with the calling party over the wire system via an exchange. The system allows a direct call of an individual person, who in turn has a choice as to whether or not a response should be taken depending on the calling party whose name is indicated to the called party. | |
