Abstract: When a user terminal makes contact with another party using a phone call, a video communication, a short message service, a multimedia message service, an instant message service, or an e-mail, functions supported by the other party's terminal are displayed on the user terminal using presence information. When a type of preferred contact is detected, a menu based on the detected preferred contact type is provided. In the user terminal, a transceiver receives the presence information and a controller displays the menu listing the functions supported by the other party's terminal in a desired method using the presence information. The controller extracts information about the detected preferred contact type set by the other party's terminal from the received presence information and displays the menu in a desired method based on the extracted information.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for synchronizing phonebook data with messages in a portable terminal. The method includes setting a synchronization mode for synchronizing the phonebook data with the sent/received messages; detecting, from among the sent/received messages, a message corresponding to a specific phone number of a phonebook when the specific phone number is changed; and changing sending/receiving information contained in the detected message according to the set synchronization mode.

Abstract: There is provided a method for controlling an automatic answering mode function in a telephone having an automatic answering function, a caller identification function, and a telephone directory function. According to the method, an automatic answering mode is set to be on or off for telephone numbers registered in the telephone directory and unregistered telephone numbers according to the user's choice. Upon incoming of a call, a received caller number is identified. It is determined whether the received caller number is registered in the telephone directory. The setting state of the automatic answering mode for the caller number is checked if the caller number is registered in the telephone directory. The setting state of the automatic answering mode for the unregistered telephone numbers is checked if the caller number is not registered in the telephone directory. If the setting state of the automatic answering mode is on, the telephone is switched to the automatic answering mode.
