ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for using an electronic phone book in a communication terminal are provided. If a user manually requests a phone number to be registered as a bookmark, or the number of calls to the phone number exceeds a predetermined first threshold, the phone number is saved in a bookmark DB. Upon user request for a bookmark mode operation, bookmarked phone numbers are presented. If the number of calls to a phone number stored in the bookmark DB for a predetermined time period does not exceed a predetermined second threshold, the phone number is deleted from the bookmark DB. Therefore, the user can give a call without memorizing frequently used phone numbers or direct dialing.
