Summary:An emergency call system and a control method thereof are provided for notifying a third party of an emergency situation using a mobile communication terminal. The emergency call system includes a calling terminal, a base station (BS), and a management server. When recognizing the emergency situation of a registered subscriber, the management server notifies an emergency reception center of the emergency situation. The calling terminal generates and transmits first and second emergency messages. The first emergency message includes an emergency notification message, a phone number of at least one called terminal (recipient), and BS identification information, and the second emergency message includes the emergency notification message and the subscriber's phone number. The BS receives the first and second emergency messages, and transfers the received first and second emergency messages to the management server and the at least one called terminal.
