In the portable electronic device 1, the transmission / reception circuit 11 receives the call information from the base station and the identification information of the base station. And CPU2
1 fetches the received identification information via the communication control circuit 27, and determines the base station based on the identification information for identifying the base station. Thereby, the base station can be identified. Further, the CPU 21 reads the image information of the base station corresponding to the determined identification information from the ROM 3 and controls the drive circuit 25 to output the read image information.

That is, image information unique to the base station, such as symbol information, character information, a stamp image, and a frame image, is output to the display unit 9 via the drive circuit 25. For example, when image information of a snowman is output to the display unit 9 as a stamp image unique to a base station located in a heavy snowfall area, the display unit 9 displays a stamp image unique to the base station located in the heavy snowfall area as shown in FIG. An image 31 of a snowman is displayed. In addition, the information of the frame image unique to the base station as shown in FIG. The information of such a frame image is displayed on the display unit 9.
Is output to the display unit 9, the display unit 9 displays the display screen in a state where the display screen is framed by a frame image. The various images mentioned above are
The message is displayed within a standby time from the transmission of the call request information to the call of the other party, or from the transmission of the call request information to the end of the call with the other party. Needless to say, the base station-specific image may be displayed on the display unit 9 even when a game built in the portable electronic device device 1 is subsequently performed.
