A storage unit(20) stores multimedia icons. A controller(30) maps a multi-message icon selected by a user with a control character, thereby transmitting the multi-message. The control character is mapped with a command of executing at least one of vibration, a ringing sound, a melody, a sound, and a moving picture.
