Abstract
The invention relates to a method for handling phone numbers in a mobile station and a mobile station. According to the invention, numbers (3a, 3b, 3c) are handled in groups (1a, 1b, 1c) which have different attributes (2a, 2b, 2c). The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) mean e.g. rights to generate a ringing tone. In a certain operating mode, only a call belonging to a group (1a, 1b, 1c) which in that operating mode has the right to call the mobile station, will generate a ringing tone. The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) also mean group-specific ringing tones which represent the type of the group (1a, 1b, 1c). The attributes (2a, 2b, 2c) further mean symbols on the display of a mobile station.
