A method of facilitating a telephonic response to an electronic message is
described. The method includes determining at least one telephone number
from a received electronic message, and assigning the determined
telephone number dynamically to a button on the telephone to provide a
speed dial button on the telephone. Determining the telephone number may
include comparing an electronic mail address in an address field of the
electronic message with a telephone directory to determine a telephone
number associated with the address. If the electronic message is a text
or a voice message, determining the telephone number may include parsing
a body of the message to determine a telephone number, if present, which
has been included into the body of the text message.
