Abstract
A communication device and method in which actuation of a function key, corresponding to at least one function associated with a remotely located voice messaging system, causes a command related to the actuated function key to be generated and sent to the voice messaging system. The predetermined function keys correspond to voice messaging system functions, such as listen to a message, skip a message, replay a message, delete a message, play a previous message, and fast forward through a message.
