A voice storage node 4 that stores voices to be notified in advance and a charge center 1 that accumulates and manages call charges for each of a plurality of subscribers 5. , Link 3-1 to subscriber data storage node 3, link 2-3 to link 4-1 to voice storage node 4, and link 2-4 to link 1-1. The link 1-3 of the charge center 1 is connected to the charge center 1 via the link 4-2.
And the link 1-2 is connected to the subscriber storage node 3 via the link 3-2 to enable communication. The charge center 1 stores call charge data for each subscriber 5,
In addition, accumulated data of call charges after the settlement date of each month is accumulated.

1). When the central processing unit (CPU) 2-1 of the telephone exchange 2 recognizes that the reception dial is a special number for requesting notification of a call charge, the central processing unit (CPU) 2-1 transmits the reception special number via the link 2-2 and the link 3-1 to the subscriber data. It is checked with the database of the storage node 3 to determine whether it is a service holder (a subscriber who permits the service) (S2).

Then, the charge center 1 transmits the integrated data of the call charges to the voice storage node 4 from the link 1-3 via the link 4-2 (S5). In the voice storage node 4,
A sound to be notified in accordance with the integrated data from the charge center is output from the link 4-1 to the telephone exchange 2 via the link 2-3 (S6). The CPU 2-1 of the telephone exchange 2 transmits a voice for notifying the call charge to the subscriber 5 and records this notification information in the voice / audio device 2-5.
To notify subscriber 5 of the call charge from
