Abstract

An incoming calling system of the present invention purposes to securely notify the user of the incoming to a radio portable terminal of a mobile communication unit or the like without disturbing others and decrease the probability of erroneous notification. Therefore, an incoming notification signal transmitter (24) for notifying the user of incoming can detect an incoming tone by inserting a jack into and connecting it with an earphone-microphone terminal (23) provided for a portable telephone (21) side and moreover, an incoming notification signal transmitter (24) is set to and supported by portable telephone (21). When portable telephone (21) receives an incoming call signal according to incoming calling from a base station (22), it generates a speech signal of an incoming tone and the speech signal is input to the incoming notification signal transmitter (24) through the earphone-microphone terminal (23) to detect incoming. The incoming notification signal transmitter (24) is constituted so as to generate incoming notification signal (25), transmit the signal to a card-type incoming notification signal receiver (26) or a wrist-type incoming notification signal receiver (27) by radio, and notify the user of incoming at portable telephone (21) side by vibration or a sound output buzzer.
