Abstract
Methods, devices, computer program products and systems for contact matching that is based on changing the dial string to include or delete codes. The described aspects provide for contact matching and subsequent display of contact information to occur in most instances in- which a connection occurs and for no matching and no subsequent display of contact information to occur in most instances in which a connection does not occur. The described aspects, systems and apparatus overcome problems related to an exact match scheme, which fails to provide contact information in many instances in which a call connection occurs, and a last, seven, or any other number, digit match scheme, which may provide contact information in instances in which a call connection cannot he made or is made to an unintended device.
