Abstract

A method and apparatus for rapid dialing of a mobile terminal. A database is set in a memory unit of the mobile terminal, including mobile service provider data and at least one corresponding Internet phone prefix code. A mobile service provider is selected from the database to obtain the corresponding Internet phone prefix code. A destination number is entered by an input device to combine with the Internet phone prefix code resulting in a final complete character string, which is then dialed.
