Abstract
A method (30), a telecommunication device (10) and a software product for implementing a method (30) on a telecommunication device (10) are presented, whereby the method (30) comprises steps for providing a telecommunication device (10) with a call-number directory (20) assigning calling party identifications (23) to defined call-number representations (22), matching (S32, S34) a call-number of a calling party with the call-number representations (24, 26) in the call-number directory (20) and, in case a generic call-number representation (26) in the call-number directory (20) matches a number sequence of the call-number of a calling party, outputting the calling party identification (27) assigned to the generic call-number representation (26).

Method (30) for identifying a calling party comprising the following steps:
- providing a telecommunication device (10) with a call-number directory (20) assigning calling party identifications (23) to defined call-number representations (22),
- matching (S32, S34) a call-number of a calling party with the call-number representations (24, 26) in the call-number directory (20) and,
- in case a generic call-number representation (26) in the call-number directory (20) matches a number sequence of the call-number of a calling party, outputting the calling party identification (27) assigned to said generic call-number representation (26).
Telecommunication device (10) with a call-number directory assigning calling party identifications (23) to defined call-number representations (22) and a retrieval means (13) for outputting a calling party identification (25, 27) corresponding to a call-number of a calling party matching a respective call-number representation (24, 26), characterised in
- that in case a number sequence of the call-number of a calling party matches a generic call-number representation (26) in the call-number directory (20), the calling party identification (27) assigned to said generic call-number representation is outputted.
