Abstract
An automated directory assistance call completion and calling number delivery system is disclosed which allows a party to call a telephone or a cellular company directory assistance operator, request a phone number of a person to be contacted and asks that the call be completed automatically. The system is responsive to a predetermined code keyed-in on a keypad of the calling party pushbutton phone, or to a voice response from the calling party, for automatically completing the call to an idle or an in-use telephone station of the person to be contacted, and for disclosing the calling party directory telephone number with a corresponding name to the person to be contacted. The person to be contacted is then in a position to decide whether or not to answer the call based on the identity of the calling party. Whether the call is answered or not the person to be contacted apparatus receives, displays and stores the calling party directory telephone number with the corresponding name for later recall, visual display and automatic or manual dialing of the stored directory telephone number with the corresponding name.
