PURPOSE:To allow a caller to easily recognize disable call because the time is at the outside of a receptible time zone of a receiver of a called party by storing correspondingly a calling number of each receiver and a receptible time zone for the calling number to the selective calling equipment with cross reference. CONSTITUTION:A caller enters a calling number of a receiver being a calling object from any of pushbutton telephone sets TL1-TLn. A control section 17 sends a signal Sa to a subscriber registration data storage section 8 to allow the storage section 8 to send a calling number sequentially to a comparator circuit 6, which gives a reception time zone relating to a calling number coincident with the sent call number to a register 10 when the comparator circuit 6 detects the coincidence of the sent call number, compares the reception time zone of the register 10 with a current time of a counter section 15, and when the current time is at the outside of the reception time zone, an announcement signal such as 'the receiver corresponding to the entered calling number is not available of reception at present, The next reception is expected from xx hour to xx hour.' is sent to the caller via an input output circuit section 2 and a public telephone line network 1.
