Abstract
Known is a telecommunications system supporting adding calling party information to a call from a calling subscriber device to a called subscriber device. The called subscriber device comprises call logging means for logging unanswered calls in a date-time-stamp order. If the logging table is full, the oldest and last table entry is dropped from the logging table. This may result in undesired dropping of urgent frequent callers if the called party is absent and many callers having one call unanswered call after the frequent and urgent caller. A telecommunications system is provided wherein per calling subscriber unanswered calls are counted. Logging table entries of frequent callers are updated, a call count value is displayed, and a previous entry is deleted. Frequent unanswered calls may be put on top of the logging table or the logging table may be sorted in a decreasing order of call count numbers.
