Abstract
A cellular telephone unit includes logic circuitry programmed automatically to initiate a check of a tlephone-accessible audio-response system (e.g., a voice mailbox system) upon power-up of the telephone unit. The programming of the logic circuitry treats any number entered by the user during the check that does not correspond to the preprogrammed voice mail account number as a command, and thereupon discontinues the check and processes the command.
