Abstract
When abbreviated numbers and telephone number are registered, these numbers are divided into several groups and group numbers are assigned to the groups, respectively. The group numbers are stored in a main memory area of a RAM. If a certain group number is input, a CPU displays all the abbreviated numbers corresponding to such a group number, but does not display the telephone numbers corresponding to the abbreviated numbers. When a call limitation is registered to a group number, a call with the abbreviated numbers to which such a group number is assigned is prohibited and these abbreviated numbers and telephone numbers corresponding to the abbreviated numbers are not displayed.
