<p>A wireless communication device (100) contains a prefix storage area (128) containing one or more prefixes that may be automatically pre-pended to a destination telephone number. The destination telephone number may be entered manually by the user using a keypad (118) or automatically entered from a telephone number storage area (126). The system (100) analyzes the destination telephone number and determines whether one or more prefix pre-pending levels have been enabled. If enabled, the system automatically pre-pends the selected prefixes to the user-entered destination telephone number to generate a complete destination telephone number. The automatic pre-pending can extend to all telephone numbers entered by the user, or may be limited to telephone numbers in the telephone number storage area (126). Similarly, the system can be enabled continuously, or may be disabled when the user turns off the wireless communication device (100).</p> |
