Abstract: A system and a method are provided for connecting telephone calls directly on the basis of a text query call from a user (1). A special operator centre (3) establishes a database (5) that contains customer profiles. Customers who wish to receive telephone calls e.g. from public users (1), register such customer profiles in the operator centre (3). Any customer profile will contain a telephone domain name (PHONENAME) and at least one destination telephone number. When a user sends a text message, he must indicate a telephone domain name (PHONENAME) and an operator centre code (2001). In the operator centre (3) reached by means of the code (2001), the database (5) is searched, and a destination telephone number corresponding to the indicated domain name is used to establish a call to that destination, and then the user (1) is connected to the destination directly.
