Abstract

Contact information is rapidly accessed and stored through the use of a communications network interface device. A user searches an alphanumeric contact database where the contact database contains a plurality of contact entries. Retrieved contact entreies are sorted and displayed. Contact entries are received and entered into an alphanumeric contact database for temporary or permanent storage. These contact entries can be received from manual entry or from an automated data service.
