1. A communication apparatus for providing an indication about a missed telephone call, said apparatus comprising:
receiving means for receiving an incoming call; control unit configured to process said received incoming call that is received by the communication apparatus; output means for outputting information to a user of the communication apparatus; and processing means for extracting a cause value contained in a cause information element sent from a network to said communication apparatus, and for outputting to the user, via the output means, an indication related to a missed received incoming call that is received by the communication apparatus but is not answered by the user of the communication apparatus; and wherein, when a caller ends the received incoming call, said cause value indicates that the received incoming call was cleared by the caller, and the communication apparatus outputs to the user via said output means an indication that the missed received incoming call was caused by the caller; and wherein, when the network automatically ends the received incoming call, said cause value consequently indicates that the received incoming call was cleared by the network, and the communication apparatus consequently outputs to the user via said output means an indication that the missed received incoming call was caused by the network and was urgent.
