A facsimile apparatus of the type which is connected to a digital line and which has the function of automatically informing a particular destination terminal of the reception of a facsimile signal from a distant terminal. In the apparatus, identification information on a particular facsimile apparatus and a telephone number of a destination terminal are previously stored in a memory unit. During the reception of a facsimile signal, the apparatus detects an identification information of a distant terminal which is transmitted therefrom over a digital line. If it is determined that the detected identification information corresponds to the identification information stored in the memory unit, the facsimile apparatus automatically originates a call on the basis of the telephone number of the destination terminal which is stored in the memory unit and sends to the destination terminal a message stating that a facsimile signal has been received from the particular facsimile apparatus. In another form of facsimile apparatus, a telephone number of a destination terminal is previously stored in the memory unit. This form of facsimile apparatus is arranged to automatically originates, if a facsimile signal is received over a first channel of the digital line, a call on the basis of the telephone number stored in the memory unit and sends a message stating that a facsimile signal has been received to the destination terminal over a second channel of the digital line.
