Abstract

A telephone set incorporated in a facsimile system using two or more telephone numbers called by respective call signals having different patterns, which are stored in a pattern data memory when the call signals are received and detected in a registering mode and with which the pattern of a call signal received when the telephone set is not in the registering mode is compared to determine the telephone number being called. The registering mode is established by an operator-controlled mode setting device. The patterns of the call signals are detected by a pattern detector in the registering mode, and the detected patterns are registered in the pattern data memory, so that the telephone number called by each call signal is determined by a pattern determining device as a result of comparison of the pattern of each call signal with the registered patterns in the pattern data memory. A selective call signal processing device is operated upon reception of a facsimile call signal in a distinctive ringing ON mode also established by the data input device, so that facsimile communication is initiated without distinctive ringing based on the facsimile call signal.
