Abstract: The invention relates to the combining of mobile station properties. In addition the invention relates to the controlling in a desired manner of mobile station properties. The object of the invention is to give a mobile station a more stylish and youthful general appearance by enhancing the chances of the user to personalize his mobile station and by making the methods of communication between mobile stations more versatile. According to the invention it is possible to produce and present to the user various properties perceptible by the different senses, e.g. text, graphics, sound, vibration and/or illumination. These properties can be associated with each other to form effect entities. These effect entities can be transmitted to another mobile station during a conventional connection. In the receiving mobile station the effect entities are presented using different means of expression than the communication data proper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for generating the ringing tone of a phone and apparatus according to the method. A ringing tone generator (12)is controlled according to a ringing tone sequence by control circuitry (13), and subscriber identification information is stored in a fixed or a detachably connectable nonvolatile memory (10) of the phone. When the phone is switched on, the microprocessor (13) reads from a subscriber identification information memory (10) of the phone at least some of the subscriber identification information, calculates on the basis thereof the values for ringing tone parameters (1, . . . ,6) describing the ringing tone sequence, and stores them in a ringing tone parameter memory (11). When receiving a page to the phone, the control circuitry (13) reads from the ringing tone parameter memory (11) the values of the parameters (1, . . . , 6) describing the ringing tone sequence, generates a ringing tone sequence on the basis of the parameter values (1, . . .
