SOLUTION: In this invention, a radio terminal location is monitored and used to locate providers of a requested service that are proximate to the location of the ratio terminal. At least one of the providers located is selected and identified by name and/or telephone number and/or the location, etc., and this information is delivered to and stored in the directory of the radio terminal. The process is repeated as necessary to update the list of service providers when the ratio terminal is transported to a new location area. The service providers located in the vicinity of the location of the radio terminal can represent any category of service desired such as emergency facilities such as a hospital, a police, a restaurant, and a hotel.
