ABSTRACT:
A method of administering a sequence of locations to which calls placed to a subscriber's personal telephone number may be routed for personal communication service by a) storing pre-defined mnemonic audible tags for association with telephone numbers prior to any interactions with the subscriber, b) offering the subscriber a choice of the pre-defined mnemonic audible tags by speaking them to him, c) receiving an indication of the mnemonic audible tag selected by the subscriber, d) receiving signals indicating a telephone number supplied by the subscriber and e) storing the received telephone number information in association with the selected mnemonic audible tag. The mnemonic audible tags are then used in place of their respective associated telephone numbers in administering the sequence of locations. A mnemonic audible tag is a meaningful word indicative of the actual location, person, or service, e.g., "office", "neighbor" or "AT&T voicemail", to which a call to the personal telephone number is to be completed. Advantageously, administering a sequence of locations is accomplished by simply manipulating friendly, meaningful and easy to understand terms rather than cumbersome and meaningless, telephone numbers or codes.
