ABSTRACT:
A mobile telephone communication device includes a processing subsystem, a memory subsystem, and a mobile telephone communication device program code comprising program instructions executable by the processing subsystem and stored in the memory subsystem that upon execution cause the mobile telephone communication device to determine if a phone call initiated to a phone number has connected. Then, upon determining that the phone call initiated to the phone number did not connect, the instructions cause the device to determine if the phone number has an associated replace code for any subset of the phone number. Finally, upon determining that the phone number has an associated replace code for any subset of the phone number, the instructions cause the device to replace the any subset of the phone number with the corresponding replace code to obtain a replace code number and initiate a phone call to the replace code number.
