Prior to placing a call, a receiver (24) in a radio (10) receives a phone number transmitted by a calling party to produce a received phone number (38). The received phone number (38) is stored in a memory unit (16) of the radio (10). Numeric digits forming a prefix number (40) are inserted before the received phone number (38) in the memory unit (16) responsive to a number of digits in the received phone number (38) to produce an edited phone number (39). A transmitter (20) in the radio (10) transmits the edited phone number (39) to place the call to the received phone number (38). This method for editing a received phone number (38) prior to placing a call to the received phone number (38) advantageously simplifies the dialing process when placing the call to the received phone number (38). |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG.
1 is a block diagram of a communication device 10 incorporating a method described in a flow chart of FIG.
2.
The communication device 10 generally comprises a controller 12, an alert 14, a memory unit 16, a keypad 18, a transmitter 20, a frequency synthesizer 22, a receiver 24, an antenna 26, a microphone 28, a speaker 30, an optional pager 32 with an optional antenna, and a display 36.
The general operation of the blocks of the communication device 10 for operation as a radiotelephone, pager or combination radiotelephone/pager unit is well known in the art.
The keypad generally includes individual keys zero through nine, *, #, a "send" key, an "end" key, a "function" key, and a "power" key.
Preferably, the communication device 10 is a combination radiotelephone/pager unit.
In a radiotelephone/pager unit, the paging function and the radiotelephone receiving function can operate on different frequency bands or on the same frequency band.
When different frequency bands are used the optional pager 32 and optional antenna 34 receive page signals in one frequency band and the receiver 24 and the antenna 26 receive radiotelephone signals in another, different frequency band.
When the same frequency band is used the receiver 24 and the antenna 26 receive both page signals and radiotelephone signals in the same frequency band.
The present invention is advantageously utilized in any type of radio communication device that has the ability to receive and transmit signals.
Devices envisioned for use with the present invention include: a radiotelephone, a two-way pager, and a combination radiotelephone/pager unit, to name a few by example.
The present invention employs a method, embodied within the controller 12 and/or memory unit 16, for editing a received phone number 38 prior to placing a call to the received phone number 38.
FIG.
2 is a flow chart 56, implemented in the block diagram of the communication device 10 of FIG.
1, describing steps of a method for editing a received phone number 38 prior to placing a call to the received phone number 38
