speed dials

One-touch calling presets

Speed dials are phone numbers programmed into a device for quick access, typically assigned to single buttons or short codes.

The feature lets you call frequent contacts without entering full numbers: Mom is on my speed dial.

Figuratively, to have someone on speed dial suggests ready access or a close relationship: She has her lawyer on speed dial.
