A procedure to transmit information at a telephone answering service, especially
in mobile telephone systems. The telephone answering service has a voice mailbox
for recording of speech, and also transmits a text message to the mobile telephone
especially via SMS (short Message Service). The procedure makes possible an improved
functionality in the system in so far as the text message is transmitted in parallel
to the mobile telephone from which listening to the voice mailbox is performed.
The text message usually contains a telephone number which can be connected with
applications in the mobile terminal. The procedure makes it possible that telephone
numbers or personal messages, manually or automatically, are stored in the mobile
answer function and are transmitted to the listening mobile terminal.
