| 1. A method for verifying a destination call in an elevator system, the method comprising the steps of:
identifying the person entering a call and the starting floor of the person entering the call;
entering a destination call by means of a destination call device outside the elevator car, the destination call device being
operable in a plurality of buildings and having therein predefined user profiles and at least two personal quick selectors,
each of said personal quick selectors when selected transmitting a request for a particular destination call;
transmitting the destination call to the elevator control system for allocation;
allocating on the basis of the destination call an elevator to the person having entered the call; and
when the person having entered the call is in the elevator car, identifying the person and acknowledging the destination call
in the elevator control system as executed, and recognizing whether the person having entered the call did not board the elevator
allocated to the person and keeping the destination call valid.
