A novel and improved method and circuit (110) for originating a call in a wireless communication device. The circuit comprises a user interface (108) for generating a start of digit indication and an end of digit indication for each of at least one dialed digits; a controller, coupled to the user interface, for detecting the start of digit indications and the end of digit indications; and an origination message generator (112), coupled to the controller, for generating a call origination message containing the at least one dialed digits. The controller (110) directs the origination message generator (112) to generate the call origination message if the end of digit indication for a most recently dialed digit is not detected during a predetermined timeout period. Thus, when the user presses and holds a digit on the user interface for longer than the predetermined timeout period, a telephone call is initiated to the destination telephone number. |
