A portable communication terminal 101 is capable of originating a call based on any one of a plurality of local numbers that can be used upon origination. Previously registered in an address book 112 are each communication counterpart and a specific local number to be selected from the plurality of local numbers upon origination in association with each other. When a call is originated to a given communication counterpart selected by a user, the portable communication terminal 101 refers to the address book 112 to thereby originate a call based on the specific local number associated with the communication counterpart.
