Method and System for Automatic Directory Entry for Telecommunications Devices

Described is a method for entry of information into a directory accessible to a caller telecommunications device. Information associated with a called telecommunications device is transmitted from the called telecommunications device over an auxiliary communication channel to a caller telecommunications device. The information is sent in response to an initiation of a communication, such as a voice communication, between the devices over a primary communication channel. An inquiry is presented to a user of the caller telecommunications device to determine if the received information is to be stored. If the user responds affirmatively, the information is stored in a directory in the caller telecommunications device or in a directory on a remote server accessible to the caller telecommunications device. In other embodiments one or more additional auxiliary communications channels are used to transmit or retrieve the information.
