11.1 Introduction
The Centralized Phonebook Database is a system that allows you to access your
phonebook from anywhere in the world at anytime.
Previously, if you forgot, broke, or lost your cell phone, you would not be able to
retrieve phone numbers stored in the phonebook of your cell phone. The Centralized
Phonebook Database (CPD) eliminates this problem while providing a simple and
convenient way to access your phone numbers.
The CPD consists of a computer, acting as a server that runs twenty-four hours a
day. Your phonebook is stored on the computer to provide access to your phonebook at
any time. You may access your phonebook in two different ways:
The first way to access your phonebook is via voicemail access to the CPD. You
simply place a call voicemail, use your telephone keypad to enter the name of the person
whose phone number you want, and the CPD system will read back the person’s phone
number. Using voicemail in the CPD system allows you to access your phonebook from
any telephone in the world at any time by dialing into your voicemail.
The second method to access the CPD is through a website. Using a web
browser, log into the website, enter the name of the person whose phone number you
want, and the CPD system returns that person’s phone number. The CPD website is
helpful for people who prefer a more visual approach to accessing their phonebook.
