When a data transferring operation ends in failure because a call was released in the midst of data transfer or the like, the data should be transferred again. In this data re-transfer, it is desirable to reduce the time spent for data transfer regardless of the functions provided by a terminal side. For this purpose, an order number is assigned to a packet containing data before it is sent. This number is stored in a storage section. Further, when a packet is confirmed as to its receipt by a transmission receiver, the order number of the packet is also stored. For a resending operation of the same data, a transmitted packet and an untransmitted packet can be discriminated from each other through comparison between order numbers of a sent packet and a transmitted packet. Based on the discrimination result, only untransmitted packets are subjected to a resending operation.
