A domain-driven abbreviated dialing method and system allow a user to dial a telephone number using an abbreviated dial string, such as for example the last M digits of a telephone number, where M is an integer less than the length of the telephone number. The abbreviated dial string is automatically resolved to a full telephone number and the number is dialed. If the user's entry cannot be unambiguously resolved, the user can be prompted to select among a limited set of candidate numbers to dial; alternatively, the system can make a “best guess”. Previous dialing behavior, known characteristics of the user, user preferences, location, domain, and/or any combination thereof can be used in order to determine which telephone number the user intends to call.
