1. A method of enabling a user to assign and store speed dial addresses, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a mobile computing device of a user, an incoming call directed to the user and caller information associated with the incoming call, the caller information including a first phone address of a caller;
creating a contact record, wherein the contact record includes at least the first phone address of the caller;
receiving, from the user via a user interface presented by a software program installed on the mobile computing device of the user, an association between the contact record and a first speed dial identifier; and
transmitting for storage, over at least one data network to a server-based data store, at least the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier,wherein the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier is accessible over at least one data network to other computing devices associated with the user.

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.

5. A system comprising:
-
a mobile computing device comprising; a data store configured to store computer-executable instructions, including a software program; and a hardware processor in communication with the data store, the hardware processor configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, including the software program, to at least; receive an incoming call directed to a user of the mobile computing device and caller information associated with the incoming call, the caller information including a first phone address of a caller; create a contact record wherein the contact record includes at least the first phone address of the caller; receive from the user via a user interface of the software program an association between the contact record and a first speed dial identifier; and transmit for storage, over a first data network to a server-based data store, at least the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier to enable the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier to be accessed over at least one data network by other computing devices associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system comprising:
-
a server-based data store; a data store configured to store computer-executable instructions, including a software program; and a hardware processor in communication with the data store, the hardware processor, configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, including the software program, to at least; create a contact record wherein the contact record includes as a destination address a user address; receive from a user, via a user interface presented by a software program installed on a mobile computing device of the user, an association between the contact record and a first speed dial identifier; and receive, over a first data network, at the server-based data store, data identifying the contact record and the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier; store the contact record and the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier at the server-based data store, wherein the association between the contact record and the first speed dial identifier is accessible via at least one data network to other computing devices associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
