Abstract: A home presence server has a storage area in which a SIP URI (hereinafter URI) of a call destination and a URI of a transfer destination are correspondingly stored. When a SIP server in a network receives a call-out request containing the URI of a first terminal being a call origination source and the URI of a second terminal being the call destination, it transfers the request to the home presence server. The home presence server acquires the URI of the transfer destination corresponding to the URI of the second terminal from the storage area, and transmits acquired URI to the SIP server. The SIP server transmits a call-out request containing the URI of the first terminal being the call origination source and the URI of a third terminal being the transfer destination, to the first terminal through a network, and the first terminal communicates with the third terminal.
