Method and apparatus for effecting a voice communication between user terminals connected via a communication network include displaying a menu of country options to a user and receiving a number in local form. Formatting rules are recalled for a destination country selected by the user from the country options. A country prefix for the destination country is prepended to the number in accordance with the formatting rules to generate a formatted number. The formatted number is supplied to a client installed at the user terminal for effecting the voice communication using the formatted number.

A dialing method for a user terminal is provided. The method includes: detecting, by a user terminal, at least one entering operation performed on a moment indication numeral on a clock dial, where the clock dial is displayed on a standby screen of the user terminal; determining, by the user terminal, a dialing numeral corresponding to the entering operation; generating, by the user terminal, a dialing number according to the dialing numeral; and performing, by the user terminal, a call by using the dialing number as a called number, a user may perform a dialing operation by using the standby screen of the user terminal, and can perform the dialing operation without a need to enter a home screen by using the standby screen and then enter a dialing screen by using the home screen.

An alert message application running on a first mobile communication can be controlled to operate in a training mode and a normal mode of operation. In the training mode of operation, the application can receive over a short range wireless link a training message response uttered by a user of a second wireless communication device and associate audio information in the utterance with a response code that the user is prompted by the application to enter. In the normal mode of operation, the user can respond to an alert message played by the first wireless communication device with a verbal utterance, and if the response utterance matches the training message response utterance, the application generates and sends a response message to an event notification system that includes the response code.

User experience is enhanced for Internet Protocol Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) based rich communication services in telecommunication environments. A system receives, from a user equipment, a session initiation protocol invitation packet to commence a communication session, and as a function of the session initiation protocol invitation packet, displays an access network technology type used by the user equipment to access a network device associated with a multiple access communication network.

Dialer capture communicators are provided. In some embodiments, a dialer capture communicator is configured to receive an analog signal from the control device, the analog signal indicating an alarm event. The dialer capture communicator is configured to generate, using a DC-09 protocol, a digital message based on the analog signal. The dialer capture communicator is configured to cause transmission of the digital message to a remote server.
