The storage included with smart phones allows for the maintenance of: an extensive contact list accessed by an address book application; an appointment list accessed by a calendar application; and an e-mail message library accessed by a messaging application. However, for the most part, smart phone designers have not used the wealth of information available on a smart phone to enhance a telephone call. It has been recognized that, while participating in a telephone call, it would be advantageous to have some information relating to the other party readily available. As such, for a given telephone call, information relating to the other party may be automatically located and references to information are displayed, thereby providing a context for the call. The information may include: Past Appointments (322), i.e., recent meetings associated with the contact; Future Appointments (324) i.e., upcoming meetings associated with the contact; and Messages (326), i.e., e-mail messages, SMS messages and Instant Messaging messages both to and from the contact.
