Claims13
A radio telephone system, in which a slave telephone set is connected to a public telephone network through radio communication with a master telephone set, wherein:
- a line adopted to provide a plurality of independent communications is connected to the public telephone network side of the master telephone set;
- the slave telephone set connecting a plurality of telephone sets;
- a plurality of unit IDs are registered in the slave telephone set, and said plurality of unit IDs are also registered in the master telephone set,
- the slave telephone set independently communicating over a plurality of channels via the master telephone set with the public telephone network,
- and when a communication request is issued from a telephone set from said plurality of telephone sets during communication with the master telephone set via the radio communication channel using one unit ID, the slave telephone set establishes a communication with the public telephone network by concurrently connecting the master telephone set via the radio communication channel using another unit ID.
