1. A method of enabling a user to assign speed dial addresses, the method comprisingproviding a software program to a mobile computing device associated with a user;
- for a first contact, receiving, over a network at a computer system including hardware, from the user via a user interface of the software program an association between a first phone address and a first speed dial identifier;
receiving at the computer system, from a telephonic device of the user, a user selected speed dial identifier, wherein the telephonic device of the user is different than the mobile computing device of the user and the selected speed dial identifier comprises the first speed dial identifier; and
causing, at least in part by the computer system, an outbound call to be placed to the first phone address associated with the first speed dial identifier and causing, at least in part by the computer system, the telephonic device of the user to be connected with the outbound call.

Abstract
Systems and methods enable configuring and using speed dialing. A first user interface is displayed to a user, the first user interface providing a name field configured to display and/or receive a contact name and a phone address field configured to display and/or receive a phone address associated with the contact name. A speed dial field configured to receive and/or display a speed dial identifier associated with the phone address is provided. When the user later enters speed dial identifier via a telephone, the phone address is called.

11. A method of enabling a user to assign speed dial addresses, the method comprising:
-
causing at least in part a user interface to be provided over an Internet connection to a user via a user data device including a display, receiving from the user via the user interface an association between a first phone address and a first speed dial identifier for a first contact; receiving, at a computer system including hardware, from a telephonic device of the user, a user selected speed dial identifier, wherein the telephonic device of the user is different than the user data device and the selected speed dial identifier is the first speed dial identifier; and causing, at least in part by the computer system, an outbound call to be placed to the first phone address associated with the first speed dial identifier and causing, at least in part by the computer system, the telephonic device of the user to be connected with the outbound call. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system comprising:
-
one or more computing devices; at least one network interface coupled to at least one computing device; nontransitory computer readable memory that stores program code that, when executed by the one or more computing device, causes the system to perform operations comprising; for a first contact record, receiving via the at least one network interface from a user via a user interface of a software program resident on a mobile computing device associated with a user an association between a first phone address and a first speed dial identifier; receiving from a telephonic device of the user, a user selected speed dial identifier wherein the telephonic device of the user is different than the mobile computing device of the user and the selected speed dial identifier is the first speed dial identifier; and causing, at least in part, an outbound call to be placed to the first phone address associated with the first speed dial identifier and causing, at least in part the telephonic device of the user to be connected with the outbound call. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
