Integration of contact information across multiple communication devices

A system for managing frequently called contacts and favorite calling numbers, the system comprising:

• a frequently called contacts and favorite calling numbers application operative:
• to detect a communication of a first communication device with a second communication device;
• to store call usage data for the communication of the first communication device with the second communication device;
• to calculate a communication frequency with the second communication device utilizing stored call usage data;
• to determine if a phone number associated with the second communication device is stored in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device;
• to determine if the communication frequency with the second communication device meets a threshold for inclusion in a frequently called contacts list if it is determined that the phone number associated with the second communication device is not stored in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device;
• and
• to automatically store contact data associated with the second communication device in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device if it is determined that the communication frequency with the second communication device meets the threshold for inclusion in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device, calls placed to contacts of the frequently called contacts list receiving a discounted rate.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer executable instructions which when executed by a computer perform a method for managing frequently called contacts, the method comprising:

• detecting a communication of a first communication device with a second communication device;
• storing call usage data for the communication of the first communication device with the second communication device;
• calculating a communication frequency with the second communication device utilizing stored call usage data;
• determining if a contact address associated with the second communication device is stored in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device;
• if it is determined that the contact address associated with the second communication device is not stored in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device, determining if the communication frequency with the second communication device meets a threshold for inclusion in a frequently called contacts list;
• if it is determined that the communication frequency with the second communication device meets the threshold for inclusion in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device, automatically storing contact data associated with the second communication device in a frequently called contacts list associated with the first communication device;
• and
• determining whether the contact data associated with the second communication device meets a criteria for inclusion into a favorite calling numbers list;
• and
• if the contact data associated with the second communication device meets a criteria for inclusion into a favorite calling numbers list, adding the contact data associated with the second communication device to the favorite calling numbers list, calls placed to numbers of the frequently called numbers list receiving a discounted rate.
