Abstract: In a communication device (20) comprising a message function (SMS, Short Message Service) a certain short message (7) or other reply message is sent in response to an incoming call in a situation where the user can't answer the call him/herself. The reply message can be sent immediately (9) or after a short delay (10, 11), whereby during the delay, the user can choose, whether he/she answers him/herself. The calling party (5) is identified from the CLI information (Caller Line Identity), whereby the reply message can be chosen according to the calling party. Time information can be included in the reply message in order to express at which time by the clock or after a how long time the receiving party is reachable. After that time the automatic reply function based on the reply message is automatically disconnected.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a ringing tone of a telephone and a telephone, which comprises a sound generator for generating the ringing tone as a response to an incoming call, a memory for storing a signal representing the ringing tone, means for retrieving the signal from the memory and for inputting the signal into the sound generator for generating the ringing tone, and sound reproduction means for reproducing the ringing tone generated by the sound generator. In the method, information defining the ringing tone is input as characters, each character defining both pitch and duration of a tone and stored in the memory of the telephone, for which the telephone comprises means for inputting information defining the ringing tone as characters, each character defining both pitch and duration of a tone. Thus, a desired melody is produced as the ringing tone. Notes can be produced on a stave displayed on a display of the telephone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile station which comprises two separate user interfaces and an outer covering (10, 11) which can be unfolded. The device has the appearance and the size of a common mobile phone when the outer covering (10, 11) is closed, whereby available is a first user interface being substantially a telephone user interface. When the outer covering (10, 11) of the device is unfolded it exposes a second user interface having a relatively large-sized display (12) and an alphanumeric keypad (15). Alphanumeric messages and graphical information can be transmitted and received using the second user interface.
