Claim:
A method in a mobile communication device for processing voice call requests, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, through a user interface of the mobile communication device, a voice call request for initiating a voice call from the mobile communication device; in response to receiving the voice call request when an out-of-coverage condition between the mobile communication device and a wireless communication network is identified by the mobile communication device: causing a call denial indication to be produced in a visual display of the user interface which indicates that the voice call request could not be completed; causing a call reminder setup prompt for the voice call request to be produced in the visual display; activating a call reminder feature for the voice call request in response to receiving, through the user interface, an acceptance of the call reminder setup prompt; refraining from activating the call reminder feature for the voice call request in response to receiving a denial of the call reminder setup prompt for the voice call request; in response to identifying an in-coverage condition between the mobile communication device and a wireless communication network after receiving the voice call request during the out-of-coverage condition: causing voice call information associated with the voice call request and a call reminder prompt for reattempting the voice call request to be produced in the visual display, the voice call information including at least one of a telephone number of the voice call request and a name associated with the telephone number of the voice call request; causing a voice call for the voice call request to be initiated in response to receiving an acceptance to the call reminder prompt through the user interface; and refraining from causing a voice call for the voice call request to be initiated in response to receiving a denial of the call reminder prompt.
