Abstract
The method is presented for speed dial configuration of a mobile terminal for a mobile telecommunications network. The method involves the following steps in the mobile terminal. A speed dial command is detected from a user of the mobile terminal, whereupon communication is established with a remote service over the mobile telecommunications network. First information pertaining to a desired communication party is provided to the remote service. In return, configuration data containing second information pertaining to the desired communication party is received from the remote service, the second information including a caller identity of the desired communication party. Finally, the mobile terminal is configured for future speed dialing to the desired communication party by storing, in local memory in the mobile terminal, an association between the speed dial command and the caller identity. An associated method, mobile terminal, remote service apparatus, system and computer program are also presented.
