If the outgoing telephone number is a telephone number stored as memory dial information, it is configured to make a call in the outgoing call mode specified corresponding to the telephone number. By designating, unlike a conventional one, an operation for selecting one of the wireless communication networks can be made unnecessary, and operability can be improved.

In this case, a plurality of transmission modes can be specified for the telephone number, the transmission is performed in the higher transmission mode, and the transmission in the higher transmission mode fails. However, since the call is configured to be placed in a lower priority transmission mode, a plurality of transmission modes are assigned with priorities to the telephone numbers in advance, and the optimum wireless communication is performed according to the priority. The network can be sequentially selected and transmitted.

When the "outgoing call history information search / outgoing call mode" is set, the outgoing telephone number is a telephone number stored as outgoing call history information, and if the telephone number has been successfully transmitted in the past, In this case, a call is made in a call mode when a call is made with a telephone number that has been successfully transmitted in the past. In this case as well, when making a call, unlike any conventional wireless communication network, Can be eliminated, and operability can be improved. In particular, in this case, since the call is transmitted to the wireless communication network when the transmission was successful in the past, the success rate of the transmission can be increased.

When the “transmission history / memory dial information search / transmission mode” is set, the processing in the “transmission history information search / transmission mode” and the processing in the “memory dial information search / transmission mode” are performed. In this case as well, unlike in the conventional case, the operation for selecting one of the wireless communication networks can be omitted, and the operability can be improved. Improvement can be achieved.

In this case, since the processing in the "transmission history information search and transmission mode" is executed with priority, the success rate of transmission can be increased, and the "transmission history information search and transmission mode" can be improved. Even if the outgoing call fails in the process by, the configuration is such that the process in the “memory dial information search and outgoing mode” is executed.
The transmission success rate can be further increased.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be modified or expanded as follows. Wireless communication devices are not limited to mobile phone devices,
It may be a car telephone device or the like.

The plurality of wireless communication systems are not limited to the PDC system and the PHS system described in the embodiment, but may be an analog cellular system, and a system employing such a time division multiple access (TDMA). The present invention is not limited to this, and a scheme employing code division multiple access (CDMA) may be used. The type of transmission mode and the number of transmission modes that can be stored by assigning priorities to the memory dial information are not limited to three and may be other numbers.
