Abstract
A time-to-call and corresponding telephone number are stored in a memory (207) of a radiotelephone (100). The radiotelephone reminds a user that it is time to place a call by emitting a noise through a speaker (105) when a time-of-the-day is equal to or later than the time-to-call. The radiotelephone determines if the radiotelephone is powered on before displaying the telephone number on a display (111). Upon viewing the displayed telephone number, the user can cancel the call or confirm placement of the call to the telephone number by pressing a key (109) or key combination. If confirmed, the radiotelephone automatically dials the telephone number. When a time duration passes before the radiotelephone is powered on, the call is terminated, or the call is canceled, the user has the option to delete the telephone number and corresponding time-to-call from the memory, or change the time-to-call.
