Abstract
The present invention discloses a solution where images are associated with missed calls and are presented within a missed called interface. The images can include images contained within a mobile device data store that is associated with the missed call number, such as images that often appear in a display of a mobile phone when a call attempt is made. The images can also include ones that are conveyed by the caller to the called device. A set of configurable interlace options can exist that permits a mobile phone user to establish how a missed call interface should behave when a locally stored image and a caller-provided image both exist and are associated with a missed call. In one implementation, the interface can be associated with voice mail messages, so that images are also associated and presented with received voice mail entries.
