Abstract: A mobile information terminal communicates with a terminal of another party by utilizing a prescribed network from among a plurality of networks. During communication with the other party by utilizing a first network, another network or deterioration of reception conditions is detected. When another network or deterioration of reception conditions is detected, a server system automatically selects a network for continuing communication (i.e., an ASP makes the selection automatically) or presents recommended networks on a display unit of the mobile information terminal so that the network for continuing communication may be selected on the side of the mobile information terminal and reported to the server system (i.e., the user makes the selection). Communication is continued via the selected network under the control of the server system.

Abstract: A selective call radio receiver with an external connection function, includes a connection section, a normal message storage section, a transfer message storage section and a control section. The connection section is connected with an external unit. The normal message storage section stores normal messages and the transfer message storage section stores transfer messages. The control section classifies a reception message into the normal message and the transfer message based on a header data of the reception message to store in one of the normal message storage section and the transfer message storage section in accordance with the classification. Also, the control section transfers the transfer messages from the transfer message storage section to the external unit through the connection section in response to a transfer instruction.

Abstract: A radio selective call receiver can improve use efficiency of memory by permitting arbitrary selection of sector length of a memory area depending upon a message length of a message transmitted. The receiver is provided with a radio signal receiving portion for receiving a radio signal, and a controller for comparing a selective call signal in the received radio signal with a call number assigned to the receiver and to take the received message corresponding to the received call signal when a matching is established. A storage portion stores the message received by the controller. Through the controller, a sector length is determined depending upon the message length of the received message. Then the received message is stored in the storage portion depending upon the determined sector length.
