Abstract
A technique for creating, training, and using a telecommunication network-based automatic voice-dialing system is provided through the automatic determination, by a network element, of likely called parties for a given customer. This determination is made based on records of network usage by the customer. Names of the likely called parties are determined through the use of, e.g., a conventional reverse telephone directory database.
