ABSTRACT:
A caller ID call-back device that allows a user to automatically place telephone calls to selected directory numbers using several dialing plans. A user may select a dialing plan by selecting a first, second, or third dialing plan selection device. Selection of each dialing plan selection device causes the caller ID call-back device to automatically dial a received caller ID directory number using a particular dialing plan. The dialing plans typically include the last seven digits of the received directory number, all ten digits of the received directory number, and one plus all ten digits of the received directory number. The caller ID call-back device may also include a memory call-back selection device for automatically dialing a received caller ID directory number in accordance with a dialing plan indicator that was previously saved in association with the directory number. After the user selects a dialing plan to automatically place a telephone call to a received caller ID directory number, the caller ID call-back device may prompt the user the save the selected dialing plan in association with the received directory number. The user may also save other dialing plans in association with a stored directory number, such as an account code or a calling card code, which the caller ID call-back device automatically dials before dialing the associated directory number.
