Abstract
A method for registering dialing information contemplates the steps of: inputting dialing information for storage in a dial buffer; registering in memory the dialing information stored in the dial buffer; sorting the dialing information registered in memory in an order such that the more recently registered dialing information is arranged before the less recently registered dialing information; and automatically deleting from memory dialing information which has not been redialed within a predetermined number of dialing operations. A method for searching the registered dialing information contemplates the steps of: sorting the dialing information registered in memory in an order such that the more recently registered dialing information is arranged before the less recently registered dialing information when a search key is input through a key input unit; inputting through the key input unit a keyword representing a portion or all of a telephone number corresponding to desired dialing information and then storing the input keyword in the dial buffer; searching for the dialing information corresponding to the keyword stored in the dial buffer from among the dialing information registered in memory; displaying the dialing information corresponding to the keyword; and selecting and dialing the telephone number corresponding to the displayed dialing information.
