A mobile telephone comprises a telephony unit to process wireless
telephony signals and a browser to enable the user to navigate hypermedia
information via a wireless network. The telephony unit receives a signal
indicating an incoming telephone call with Caller-ID information. The
telephony unit provides the Caller-ID information to the browser, which
uses the Caller-ID information to identify an action or data previously
associated with the Caller-ID information. In one embodiment, the browser
looks up ring tone data associated with the Caller-ID information and
provides the ring tone data to the telephony unit, which causes a ring
tone to be generated based on the ring tone data. Distinctive ring tones
may be associated with particular callers or groups of callers. The
browser may request ring tone data from a remote server over the wireless
network.
