<p>A wireless local loop (WLL) apparatus (10) that locally analyzes the digits dialed on a phone (14); determines if the digits dialed are sufficient to complete the call; completes the call if the digits dialed are sufficient; and prompts the user to provide additional information necessary to complete the call if the digits dialed are not sufficient to complete the call. The prompt preferably consists of a voice message that is locally generated and played by the WLL apparatus to the user before the call is connected to the telecommunications network (12) serving the WLL apparatus. The WLL apparatus may also prompt a caller to indicate whether a call is being originated from a conventional voice phone or from other devices such as a facsmile machine. The WLL apparatus may then transmit this information as out-of-band or in-band signaling accompanying the call for use by the telecommunications network in providing service options to the originating and destination phones.</p> |
