Abstract

A method and apparatus is provided for automatically retrieving and displaying supplemental information (60) about a called party on the customer premises equipment (CPE) of a calling party. When a caller places a call, the number called is used to look up and return to the caller the Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the called party (56). Application software resident in the caller's CPE uses the URL to retrieve the home page of the called party (58) from the Internet.
