Methods and systems for speed dialing
First Claim
1. A method of enabling a user to assign speed dial addresses, the method comprisingcausing at least in part a first user interface to be displayed to a user via a user data device including a display, the first user interface providing:
- a name field configured to display and/or receive a contact name associated with a respective contact;
a phone address field configured to display and/or receive a contact phone address associated with the respective contact;
a speed dial field configured to receive and/or display a speed dial identifier associated with the contact phone address,for a first contact, receiving from the user via the user interface an association between a first phone address and a first speed dial identifier, wherein the user can utilize the first speed dial identifier to initiate a call to the first phone address via a first plurality of telephonic devices serviced by corresponding different telecommunications systems;
for a second contact, receiving from the user via the user interface an association between a second phone address and a second speed dial identifier, wherein the user can utilize the second speed dial identifier to initiate a call to the second phone address via the first plurality of telephonic devices serviced by the corresponding different telecommunications systems;
receiving, from a user telephonic device, a user selected speed dial identifier at a call processing system, the user telephonic device being different than the user data device;
causing, at least in part, an outbound call to be placed, wherein;
if the received user selected speed dial identifier is the first speed dial identifier, an outbound call is placed to the first phone address associated with the first speed dial identifier;
if the received user selected speed dial identifier is the second speed dial identifier, an outbound call is placed to the second phone address associated with the second speed dial identifier; and
causing, at least in part, the telephonic device of the user to be connected with the outbound call.
