Abstract
A method for providing a telephone user interface programmable shortcut for a telephone-accessed system includes steps as follows. The telephone user interface programmable shortcut is mapped to a telephone key stroke sequence. The telephone-accessed system is dialed into via a telephone. The telephone key stroke sequence is pressed by the telephone-accessed system when the telephone user interface programmable shortcut is activated via the telephone.

A method for providing a telephone user interface programmable shortcut for a telephone-accessed system, comprising steps of:
- presenting a web-based user interface, the web-based user interface configured for receiving the telephone user interface programmable shortcut for a telephone key stroke sequence, the web-based user interface including a field for receiving the telephone key stroke sequence and a second field for receiving a textual description corresponding with the telephone user interface programmable shortcut;
- mapping the telephone user interface programmable shortcut to the telephone key stroke sequence, the telephone user interface programmable shortcut consisting of two digits, the telephone user interface programmable shortcut of two digits selected from 1-9, * and #, the telephone key stroke sequence being any sequence of a plurality of digits, the plurality of digits including 1-9, * and # entered by a user, the mapping step comprises sub-steps of:
- programming the telephone key stroke sequence;
- and
- storing the telephone key stroke sequence in the telephone-accessed system, the telephone key stroke sequence being associated with the telephone user interface programmable shortcut;
- receiving a request to access the telephone-accessed system via a telephone, the telephone-accessed system remote to said telephone;
- and
- initiating the telephone key stroke sequence by the telephone-accessed system when the telephone user interface programmable shortcut is activated via the telephone, wherein the telephone key stroke sequence includes a telephone number, a change of mobility number and review of messages.
