Methods and systems are provided for storing directory assistance
information in a subscriber's electronic address book for future use. If
a directory number associated with the desired called party is not in the
subscriber's address book, a voice services node initiates a call to a
directory assistance service to obtain a directory number for the called
party. If the subscriber would like to have the obtained number added to
the subscriber's address book, the directory number, name and address
associated with the requested directory assistance may be added to the
subscriber's address book for future use by the subscriber when the
subscriber needs the directory number associated with the called party.
