Abstract
The wireless terminal selectively stores incoming voice calls and text messages in a common Answer List. The incoming transmissions may be added to the Answer List manually. If the “Answer List” menu option is selected, the incoming transmission data is logged into the Answer List and that entry is deleted from the Missed Call List, Text Message List or Call Log. In this manner, the incoming transmission data may be saved in only one location on the wireless terminal. An entry may also be saved to the Answer List from the wireless terminal'"'"'s calendar application or web browser application. An entry may be deleted from the Answer List after the entry is responded to. This allows the user to enter wireless terminal related activities in the Answer List such that the list may also include entries that do not arise from an incoming transmission.
