A method and apparatus for telecommunications having automatic network adaptations and silent mode operations are demonstrated. An integrated telecom device includes a programmable controller and memory adapted to receive telecommunications carrier rate information updates or system synchronization without requiring subscriber instigation or intervention procedures. Rate provider access, or subscriber programmed caller access, is recognized prior to signaling to the subscriber that an in-coming transmission is in progress and rate database updates, or other desired transmission from the programmed caller, are received automatically. In order to obtain least-cost routing of out-going transmissions, the subscriber merely inputs the destination telephone number or other destination code. In-coming transmissions from a rate provider or preselected advertising entities can be programmed for silent mode reception.
