The need for a caller to construct and enter the unique, lengthy, dialing sequences for any one of a plurality of service providers for dialed calls from a handheld electronic device is eliminated by providing in the device a database containing the required dialing sequences. The caller need only select the contact to be called, a specific contact telephone number, if more than one is available, and a service provider to be used. The selected contact telephone number is automatically inserted into the appropriate dialing sequence and the call is initiated. Where a service provider has multiple access numbers, the most appropriate for the caller's location can be selected. If no service provider is chosen, a default dialing sequence is used.
