<p>A dialling apparatus comprises a keypad (21) having digit keys for entering a digit corresponding to a set of characters and a function key (SND). Character strings and corresponding digit strings are stored in a memory (23). In response to a digit from the keypad, a controller (20, 24) makes a search through the memory for detecting each one of characters of the set which corresponds to the digit and detecting character strings each containing the detected character. The detected character strings are then sequentially supplied to a display unit (22) from the memory so that they are displayed one at a time. When the command key is operated, the character string being displayed on the display unit is identified and the digits stored in the memory corresponding to the identified character string are dialed to a switched network. <IMAGE></p> |
