A system and method is provided to permit a mobile phone the options of line-selection and direct station selection (DSS). When the wireless system is interfaced to a land-line system through a limited number of lines, dual-function keys select and capture available outside lines. Other dual-function keys permit other mobile stations in the system to be accessed through a single keystroke. A field of indicators associated with these keys signals the availability of these lines and stations. These line-select/DSS keys are also useable to dial telephone numbers in the traditional method. The virtual line-select concept is also applicable to select land-lines and wireless channels in a group distributed network. Likewise, the virtual DSS function is applicable to monitor and access a select group of mobile stations in the group-distribution system.
