TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES APPARATUS

摘要

A user of the system can initially create one or more groups of members in order to be able to send a voice message to the group members. An incoming voice message from an originating caller (10) is stored in a storage means (12) upon selection of a desired group by the user. An alert message, such as a text message, is then sent from a generator (14) to the members (18) of the selected group. Each member (18) can then have access to the stored voice message by making a retrieval call. The retrieval call may also be stored in the storage means (12) for subsequent retrieval by the originating caller (10) and possibly other users.
