Abstract

The invention includes a post call directory entry device that performs the post call directory entry function for a telephone station. The post call directory entry device includes a directory memory, a post call controller and a user interface device that includes a keypad, a microphone and a speaker. The post call controller stores a remote number in the directory memory after the telephone station is on-hook. The save number is stored in the directory memory if the directory memory is not full and if a user responds to a save request output by the post call controller. The save number is one of a dialed number entered by the user using a dialpad portion of the keypad and a remote caller telephone station number. The remote number is determined when the telephone station is off-hook.
