The invention comprises emergency call management apparatus (31) and a mobile station (1). The emergency call management apparatus (31) monitors the emergency call generation rate, which is indicative of the rate of generation of emergency calls in a network, and on the basis of the result of this monitoring, transmits state information indicative of the restriction state of communication in that network, when the emergency call generation rate attains a preset condition. The mobile station (1) has emergency number information indicative of a number to be dialed to make an emergency call, and transmits, on the basis of the emergency number information and the received state information, a connection request to the network when the restriction state is a state in which only that emergency call is accepted and the number that has been dialed is the number to be dialed to make that emergency call. This provides a higher probability that an emergency call will be processed in situations in which there is a high rate of generation of emergency calls. This is because in such situations the network only has to process emergency calls. |
