A digital cordless telephone system includes a plurality of radio base stations, a master unit, a subsidiary unit, a charging base, and a communication mode switching unit. The radio base stations are connected to a public line and each cover a certain service area. The master unit is connected to a personal line. The subsidiary unit is connected to a nearby radio base station or the master unit through a time-division multiplex radio channel to transmit/receive speech and control data. The charging base charges the subsidiary unit. The communication mode switching unit includes a detection section for detecting that the subsidiary unit is placed on the charging base, and a control section for automatically selecting whether to connect the subsidiary unit to a radio base station or the master unit depending on whether the subsidiary unit is placed on the charging base. |
