speed dial
One-touch phone calling
Speed dial is a phone feature that lets you call frequently used numbers with a single button or short code instead of dialing the full number.
As a verb, to speed-dial someone is to call them this way: I've got my mom on speed dial.
Figuratively, having someone on speed dial suggests ready access or a close relationship.
