Speed Calling allows an end-user to dial frequently called telephone numbers by dialing a 1 or 2-digit code in place of the entire telephone number.
End-users can program both local and long distance telephone numbers to their Speed Calling lists.
Depending on the product they work with, Speed Calling lists may be available in a 6, 8 number or 30 telephone number capacity. Each capacity can be added to the other, making a 36 or 38 telephone number memory. The lists are established and changed by the end-user.
With Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS)or Private Branch Exchange (PBX ) service, the end-user may have either an 8 or 30 telephone number list. Centrex 21, Centrex Plus, Centrex Prime®, Centron®, Customized Call Management Services (CCMS) and Centron 1™ provide Speed Calling lists in a 6 or 30 telephone number capacity. Centraflex provides a 30 telephone number capacity list only.
Centrex 21, Centrex Plus, Centrex Prime, Centron, CCMS, and except in a DMS™-10, Centron 1 may have the following types of Speed Calling:
Feature Activation Codes; e.g., *82 or 1182 cannot be part of a Speed Call code.
There is not a minimum number of digits required in the telephone number; e.g., 911 can be programmed.
Only numbers can be programmed into a Speed Calling code. Symbols such as * or # cannot be part of a Speed Calling code.
Speed Calling numbers cannot be strung together; e.g., an end-user cannot use code 2 to dial a carrier access code and then press code 3 to dial a relative's telephone number.
Speed Calling codes must meet central office switch type telephone number programming limitations:
| Switch Type | Telephone Number Limitation |
| 5ESS®, 5RSM (remote of 5ESS switch) | Up to 32 digits. |
| DMS-10 | Up to 18 digits. |
| DMS-100 | Up to 24 digits. |
| Ericsson | Up to 28 digits. |
