Portable communication terminal 101 of the present invention comprises, referring to FIG. 1, transmit/receive means 103 including an antenna, time counting means 105 for counting a call duration on the basis of a state of connection with a called party, store means 111 having table 115 in which correspondence between said recognition code specifing at least one additional message and said called party is previously registered, selecting means 107 for previously holding the recognition code corresponding to the additional message to be transmitted and outputting the held recognition code on the basis of the counted call duration, and control means 109 for reading the additional message on the basis of the outputted recognition code. The portable communication terminal 101 is characterized in that it further comprises manipulation means 113, wherein the end of a call in the call duration is determined in response to manipulation with the manipulation means 113, and the state of connection with the called party is disconnected after the additional message is transmitted. The selecting means 107 includes means 107-1 for storing a preset call duration, means 107-2 for comparing the counted call duration with the preset call duration, means 107-3 for previously holding the recognition code corresponding to the additional message to be transmitted, and means 107-4 for outputting the held recognition code on the basis of the result of the comparison. The additional message is characterized in that it is a preset voice apology message and a display message for each called party, and transmitted to the called party when the counted call duration is shorter than the preset call duration. The additional message is characterized in that it is a preset voice message and a display message for each called party, and transmitted to the called party when the counted call duration is longer than the preset call duration
