5. A portable telephone in which a process of informing of a reception of an incoming voice call is performed during the reception by causing a vibrator to vibrate and simultaneously a history of the reception is recorded in a memory, wherein

in the case no response to the informing of the reception is made and the history of the reception is recorded in the memory, the vibrator vibrates until the history of the reception is confirmed;

wherein the memory records therein at least one telephone number that is designated beforehand, the designated telephone number being of a potential originator of a call; and

the vibrator vibrates until the history of the reception is confirmed only in the case the telephone number of the reception coincides with the previously designated telephone number that is recorded in the memory.

6. A portable telephone according to claim 5 , wherein the vibrator vibrates for a prescribed time length in units of a prescribed time length until the history of the reception is confirmed.

7. A portable telephone in which a process of informing of a reception of an incoming voice call is performed during the reception by causing a buzzer to generate its alarming sound and causing an LED to turn “on”/“off” and simultaneously a history of the reception is recorded in a memory, wherein

in the case no response to the informing of the reception is made and the history of the reception is recorded in the memory, the buzzer generates its alarming sound until the history of the reception is confirmed; and

in the case no response to the informing of the reception is made and the history of the reception is recorded in the memory, the LED turns “on”/“off” until the history of the reception is confirmed;

wherein the memory records therein at least one telephone number that is designated beforehand, the designated telephone number being of a potential originator of a call;

the buzzer generates its alarming sound until the history of the reception is confirmed only in the case the telephone number of the reception coincides with the previously designated telephone number that is recorded in the memory; and

the LED turns “on”/“off” until the history of the reception is confirmed only in the case the telephone number of the reception coincides with the previously designated telephone number that is recorded in the memory.

8. A portable telephone according to claim 7 , wherein the buzzer generates its alarming sound for a prescribed time length in units of a prescribed time length until the history of the reception is confirmed; and the LED turns “on”/“off” for a prescribed time length in units of a prescribed time length until the history of the reception is confirmed.

9. A portable telephone in which a process of informing of a reception of an incoming voice call is performed during the reception by causing a buzzer to generate its alarming sound and causing a vibrator to vibrate and simultaneously a history of the reception is recorded in a memory, wherein

in the case no response to the informing of the reception is made and the history of the reception is recorded in the memory, the buzzer generates its alarming sound until the history of the reception is confirmed; and

in the case no response to the informing of the reception is made and the history of the reception is recorded in the memory, the vibrator vibrates until the history of the reception is confirmed;

wherein the memory records therein at least one telephone number that is designated beforehand, the designated telephone number being of a potential originator of a call; and

the buzzer generates its alarming sound until the history of the reception is confirmed only in the case the telephone number of the reception coincides with the previously designated telephone number that is recorded in the memory; and

the vibrator vibrates until the history of the reception is confirmed only in the case the telephone number of the reception coincides with the previously designated telephone number that is recorded in the memory.

10. A portable telephone according to claim 9 , wherein the buzzer generates its alarming sound for a prescribed time length in units of a prescribed time length until the history of the reception is confirmed; and
