Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a voice mail system corresponding to a notice of a message via the world wide web WWW. SOLUTION: A WWW client 310 makes communication with a WWW server 330 by using a WWW network 320 of the Internet to request the access to a voice mail of the user and a notice of the voice mail. The user enters a mail box number of the voice mail to start a proper hyper link. The WWW server starts an application and a message (MSG) client 350. An MSG server 370 returns information relating to all the voice mail messages in the mail box designated and displayed by the WWW client in response to the initial message of the MSG client. Furthermore, the MSG server 370 down-loads an applet to be executed by the WWW client 310. The applet makes communication with the voice mail system to provide a newest notice of a reception message.
