  • Patent number: 6721577
    Abstract: A number of associated directory numbers are sequentially correlated into a link list and stored within a telecommunications device, such as a mobile station. In response to a user instruction or pre-determined call setup results, the telecommunications device retrieves a second directory number from the correlated link list and originates another outgoing call connection therewith. As an illustration, the user may provide such an instruction by pressing the volume-up or volume-down key. Alternatively, the mobile station may automatically retrieve and originate a new outgoing call connection using the next directory number from the link list in response to a busy signal from the pending call connection. With repeated detection of such instructions or conditions, the mobile station sequentially and individually retrieves the linked directory numbers and automatically originates outgoing call connections without the user having to separately and inconveniently entering the associated directory numbers.
