A telephone dialling system is configured such that a network supports connection between a caller and a recipient whereby the caller keys in a name of the recipient on, for example, a mobile phone. On keying in the name, each character is selected by depression of a digit key or keys, the name therefore being used to generate a series of digits which provide a coded representation of the recipients name. On activation, the coded series is transmitted as a telephone number. The network recognises such a coded series and converts it to a signal format corresponding to that of the required standard telephone number. The call is thereafter connected over the network in a standard manner. |
