Abstract
Systems, products, and methods are disclosed for performing a method of enabling a mobile device to perform a method of automatically associating a string with an outgoing-called number. One embodiment of the method includes, incident to at least initiating an outgoing call, establishing a communications link between a mobile device and a remote computing device through a wireless telecommunications network. The method further includes sending to the remote computing device an indication or phone number associated with the outgoing call when a label is not associated with that phone number. This label would otherwise identify an entity associated with said phone number. An embodiment continues in which a string that was identified based on the phone number is received at the mobile device. Finally, the mobile device modifies (which can including initializing) a label associated with the former mere phone number based on the string received.
