A database stores call data for a call destination, the data including, for that destination, identity data as to the identity of the destination and telephone number data as to the telephone number of that destination. The telephone apparatus (10) establishes a communications link with the database, and has a telephony interface (22), and intercept means (32), and is arranged for user selection of the call data in the database to select a call destination. On the basis of that selection, a call data signal representing the telephone number for the seleted call destination is directed to the telephone apparatus (10) via the communications link. The intercept means (32) is responsive to receipt of the call data signal to place the telephone apparatus (10) in a condition for dialling, by the telephony interface (22), the telephone number represented by the call data signal.
