Abstract
Abstract An automatic dialing system connected to telephone lines and adapted to automatically send information by telephone. The system has a signal receiving circuit (74), telephone number memorizing device (22), and an aural information recording device (16). The telephone number memorizing device memorizes telephone numbers corresponding to telephone lines through which aural information is sent when the signal receiving circuit has received a predetermined signal. When the signal receiving circuit has received a predetermined signal, a telephone number is read out and call signals therefor are deiivered. The aural information recording device records aural information which is to be sent when the signal receiving circuit has raceived a predetermined signal. When the signal receiving circuit has received a predetermined signal, the aural information recording device delivers aural information through telephone lines specified by call signals.
