Abstract

A dialing method for a telephone system begins by receiving a caller indentification (i.e., telephone number) of a party calling the telephone system. The received caller identification is then stored in a control buffer of the telephone system. A control unit of the telephone system determines whether the caller identification stored in the control buffer is identical to one of a plurality of existing caller identifications stored in a memory of the telephone system. When the caller identification stored in the control buffer is identical to one of the existing caller identifications stored in the memory, the existing caller identification that is identical to the caller identification is deleted from the memory. The caller identification is then transferred from the control buffer to the memory, and stored in the memory according to a last in first out rule. The caller identification is displayed on a display unit of the telephone system in response to a first input of a search key. Then, the telephone number corresponding to the caller identification is automatically dialed in response to input of a start key.
