3A and 3B are flowcharts illustrating a reservation call method in a communication terminal according to the present invention.

3A and 3B, the voice reservation method in the communication terminal according to the present invention includes receiving a reservation time and a counterpart phone number according to a reservation call request key signal input (S200 to S210), and the start key. According to the signal input, recording the contents of the call (S220), and determines whether the input reservation time is reached, and when the reservation time is reached, calling the input telephone number and transmitting the recorded contents (S230 ~ S270) and outputs the received sound through the speaker according to the reception of the reserved call, determines whether the call is answered, and if the user wants to answer the call, receives the call response from the user and transmits it to the reserved call transmitting terminal. It comprises a step (S300 ~ S350).

First, referring to Fig. 3A, the operation of the reserved call transmitting side will be described.

The MSM 30 outputs a message for inputting the reservation time and the phone number of the counterpart through the LCD 10 or the audio unit 70 according to the selection of the reserved call answer menu through the keypad 10 (S200). The reservation time and the phone number are received from the store (S210).

The MSM 30 records and stores the contents of the call input through the audio unit 70 from the user in memory according to a menu item of recording the contents of the call from the user (S220).

After calculating the time, the MSM 30 determines whether the reservation time has been reached (S230). If the determination result is the reservation time, the MSM 30 determines whether the terminal is currently in communication such as data communication or voice communication (S240).

As a result of the determination in S240, when not in communication, the MSM 30 automatically transmits the stored call contents to the stored telephone number (S250).

As a result of the determination in S240, when voice call and data communication are in progress, the MSM 30 outputs a call content transmission failure notification message to the user (S260), and determines whether a retransmission request key signal is input (S270).
