Speed Dial Button

The speed dial on the telephone allows a person to call a specific telephone number with just the push of a button. Speed dialing has the advantage of users not having to remember long telephone numbers and enter the long telephone number into their phones. The speed dial button further eliminates cumbersome phonebook lookups. This is especially handy for frequently called numbers or to quickly dial in an emergency. The speed dial function may work differently depending on the telephone type and possibly by telephone system. The range of solutions spans from decentralized implementation on the device all the way to a central solution in a cloud-based telephone system.
