A terminal for telecommunications networks, such as a mobile telephone, has at least one storage area for storing user indicators and acting as an electronic address book and processing capacity for processing user indicators stored in the storage area. The terminal is configured for organizing the indicators in at least a first and a second configuration. The first configuration has identifiers organized with the insertion of an identification code of an operator, such as long distance operator, selected by the user of the terminal, while the second configuration has identifiers organized with the inclusion of at least one of a country prefix and a local prefix. The user can thus make calls with the aid of his/her electronic address book without having to manually modify the stored numbers when the user moves (physically or in terms of service) between environments characterized by different telephone number configurations, without having to change back the numbers in the address book on return to the usual environment.

Procedure for processing user's identification numbers in communication networks corresponding communication terminal sim-card and computer product

A process that can be used to process the calling line presentation supplied to a called user following a call made by a calling user in a fixed and/or mobile communications network (for example, GSM, GPRS or UMTS in the latter case). A corresponding code for identifying an operator, such as a long-distance operator, which can be used by the called user for calling back the calling user, is identified, for example, during the registration of the user who is intended to act as the called user with a corresponding operator. This corresponding identification code is inserted automatically into the calling line presentation supplied to the called customer following the call made by the calling user. The call can be a voice call, a data call or a message, such as an SMS or MMS message. The called user is thus able to call back the calling user without having to insert the user's identification code to be used for calling back.
