MOBILE TELECOMMUNICATION TERMINAL

摘要

The invention relates to a mobile telecommunication terminal (1), which interrogates a telecommunication network (10) for messages that exist for said mobile telecommunication terminal (1) using a minimum possible energy consumption. The mobile telecommunication terminal (1) comprises a receiving device (5) for receiving messages from the telecommunication network (10) in a receive mode. The mobile telecommunication terminal (1) can be set to an interrogation mode, in which a control mechanism activates the receive mode at at least one predetermined time if the receive mode is switched off. The control mechanism (15) verifies whether during a second predetermined period after activation of the receive mode, information about at least one message that exists in the telecommunication network (10) for the mobile telecommunication terminal (1) has been received in the receiving device (5).
