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.

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 phone and system is disclosed which includes a programmed button(s) that initiates a telephone call from the phone to a second phone. In some embodiments, the phone may be a toy or instructional equipment configured to provide for example, children a device to learn how to converse over a telephone call with trusted parties. The phone may initiate a phone call request when a programmed button is pressed by connecting with a computing device that has a wireless local area network (LAN) transceiver and a connection to the telephone network (for example, a smartphone, a tablet, or a wearable device). The phone call request may then be re-routed through the telephone network to the second phone being called and communication may occur between the two phones through the intermediary device. Trusted and restricted communication may thus occur between parents/grandparents and children.

According to various embodiments, an electronic apparatus comprises: a housing including a front plate, a rear plate disposed facing a direction opposite the front plate, and a side bezel enclosing at least a portion of the space between the front plate and the rear plate; a circuit board disposed between the front plate and the rear plate; a first radiating conductor disposed to form at least a portion of the side bezel; a connection member comprising a conductive material disposed between the circuit board and the rear plate; and a processor or communication module comprising communication circuitry disposed on the circuit board. The connection member includes a first curved part provided on one end and contacting the circuit board, and a second curved part provided on another end and contacting the first radiating conductor, thereby electrically connecting the first radiating conductor to the circuit board. The processor or communication module can be configured to use the first radiating conductor to perform wireless communication in at least one frequency band.
