Abstract
An apparatus and method for obtaining preferred information from a network by execution of a sequence of actions in response to a single actuation in a network terminal device. A sequence of actions is programmed in network terminal device. The sequence of actions are executed in response to a single actuation if a softkey. A network destination parameter and a user preference parameter are also programmed. The sequence of actions includes coupling a destination parameter into the network, upon receipt of a network reply message corresponding to said destination parameter, coupling a preference parameter into the network, and upon receipt of the preferred information from the network, outputting the preferred information from the network terminal device.
