Abstract: A method for efficient communication from a cellular telephone handset. The method begins with the step of providing a cellular telephone handset, including an interface to a computer software system for requesting a call and providing a desired call number. Then, the system sends a message from the handset to a base computer, requesting a call and specifying a desired telephone number. The base computer receives the message and generates a conference call request to a telephone network provider, specifying the numbers of the handset and the desired telephone number. The telephone network conducts a conference call via the telephone network between the handset and the desired number.
