SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF FEATURE CODES IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A wireless communication device (100) contains a speed-dial storage area (126) containing one or more user-entered destination telephone numbers. An additional memory area (128) contains the plurality of sets of additional digits to be added to the used-entered destination telephone number. The user associates one or more additional sets of digits to a selected user-entered destination telephone number. A control processor (102) automatically adds the associated set of additional digits whenever the user-entered destination telephone number is selected. The sets of additional digits may be pre-programmed by the service provider or programmed by the user. The sets of additional digits may include codes for features such as caller identification transmission, caller identification blocking, message waiting cancellation, and the like. In addition, other sets of digits, such as area codes and other prefixes may be pre-programmed by the service provider or the user. The additional sets of digits may be added to all subsequent calls to the selected user-entered destination telephone number until the control processor (102) is selectively disabled. The processor may be disabled by manual intervention by the user or by turning the power-off to the wireless communication device.
