A mobile telephone MMI in which icons are displayed on a display together with text explaining the meaning of a single "active" icon. The "active" icon, representing a function which can actually be selected or initiated, is the only icon with accompanying text. This represents an advance over conventional text based MMIs which many people find difficult to learn, to navigate and are inelegant. Where an icon is displayed together with its associated text, then a user rapidly understands the function to be performed by selecting that icon and also that the status of the computing means (typically a microprocessor) is such that the function can either be performed directly or can be readily navigated to. The text is contained within a cartoon style balloon.
