A communication apparatus of the present invention includes a message storage 8 and an unconfirmed message number storage 9. When the apparatus receives a radio signal, a message contained in the radio signal is written to the message memory 8. At the same time, the number of unconfirmed messages stored in the unconfirmed message number storage 9 is incremented by 1 (one). An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) 10 and an alert section 11 cooperate to alert the user of the apparatus to a call incoming. When the user presses a switch 5 in response to the alert, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 7 determines that the user has confirmed the received message. At this time, the number of unconfirmed messages stored in the storage 9 is decremented by 1 and then displayed on the LCD 10. If the user does not press the switch 5 within a preselected period of time, then the CPU 7 determines that the received message has not been confirmed, and displays the number of unconfirmed messages stored in the storage 9 on the LCD 10.
