Abstract: A mobile wireless communication device like a cellular handset includes multiple communication addresses stored in its memory. Each address is associated with one or more inputs of an input key. For example a first telephone number is associated with a single input of a particular key, and a second telephone number may be associated with two sequential inputs of the same key. The communication address is transmitted from the wireless communication device upon entering the one or more key inputs associated therewith and upon maintaining a last of the sequential key inputs for a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: A method in a mobile wireless communication device (10) including a wireless communication receiver/transmitter (20), a memory (30) for storing a communication address and an audio clip associated therewith, an audio output (60), a processor ((50) coupled to the memory and to the audio output, the processor for playing the audio clip at the audio output when a wireless communication originated from the communication address associated with the audio clip is received by the wireless communication receiver.

Abstract: A mobile wireless communication device, for example a cellular handset or pager or wireless communication enabled personal digital assistant or personal computer having a processor (10) coupled to memory (20) and an input pad (50) having a plurality of input keys. Multiple communication addresses are stored (300) in memory and associated (310) with one or more inputs of the same input key, for example a first telephone number is associated with a single input of a key, and a second telephone number is associated with two sequential inputs of the same input key as the first telephone number, etc. The communication addresses are transmitted (320) from the wireless communication device upon entering the one or more key inputs associated therewith and upon maintaining a last of the sequential key inputs for a predetermined time interval.
