PURPOSE: To attain the communication with a cheapest charge without intention of a sender when a discount charge time zone differs from each destination facsimile terminal equipment by setting a transmission designation time zone to each destination facsimile terminal equipment.

CONSTITUTION: A designation time zone information table 6 consists of a designation time zone number 6a, a designation time zone start time 6b and a designation time zone end time 6c. When a current time is within a range between a content 'T1' of the designation time zone start time 6b and a content 'T1' of the designation time zone end time 6c, a content 'b' of the terminal number 4b is sought from the content of the terminal number 5a of a terminal information table 5, and a content 'd' of a relating terminal address 5b and the content of the text are informed to a transmission section 7. The transmission section 7 makes dialing to the noticed terminal address 'd' through a communication control section 1 and sends the text thereto. Thus, the communication offering a cheapest charge is attained to a facsimile terminal equipment of countries whose discount rate time zone differ from each other without intention of a sender.
