In a portable telephone device, a desired telephone number selected by an user from all or a part of telephone directory list is converted into audio data by an audio data converting circuit to transmit it to a communication partner, so that the telephone number corresponding to the audio data can be uttered as a voice at the partner side who receives the audio data. Thereby, a portable telephone device with improved user ability can be realized.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In view of the foregoing, an object of this invention is to provide a portable wireless device in which the registered telephone numbers can be informed to a partner without the inconvenient operation for an user.
The foregoing object and other objects of the invention have been achieved by the provision of a portable wireless device comprising: storage means for storing telephone directory list including a plurality of telephone numbers; display means for displaying all or a part of the telephone directory list read from the storage means; selecting means for selecting a desired telephone number among from the telephone directory list displayed on the display means; data converting means for converting data stored in the storage means, the data representing the desired telephone number selected and fixed by said selecting means, into audio data; and transmitting means for transmitting the audio data converted by the data converting means.
As a result, the audio data corresponding to the desired telephone number is transmitted to a communication partner, and the telephone number on the basis of the audio data is uttered as a vocal sound at the communication partner's side.
Thus, the trouble such that an user repeatedly looks at the display screen from the state that the portable telephone device is on user's ear can be avoided.
The nature, principle and utility of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like parts are designated by like reference numerals or characters.
