Abstract A microprocessor-based telephone set includes a telephone number memory, a number indicator, an abbreviated number selecting switch, an abbreviated number controller, and a selecting signal controller. The call is made when a selecting signal is sent to a base station. The selecting signal which is issued when selecting signal controller retrieves a certain telephone number of a called party according to a displayed abbreviated number on the indicator on receiving a signal controlling the transmission start of the selecting signal. The signal which controls the transmission start of the selecting signal can be generated by means of the selecting signal or hooksignal. A telephone equipment can be installed on a steering wheel of an automobile.
