Creating a new phone call with populated fields on postUpate call

I would like to customize the way a user closes a phone call.  I need a new phone call window to open when a user closes the first phone call from the Actions->Close Phone Call menu item. Also, I need the new phone call window to be populated with the information from the 1st phone call form.  This is essentially a workaround for the Follow Up button. Should I be doing this through a callout or by using a webservice? I am a complete beginner to MS CRM so if you could explain why and what I should be doing.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks very much Biffster007.  Two quick questions for you:
1.) When you say "button link to a asp.net web page", is this just to do a retrieve on the GUID?  Can this be done directly through a callout with a reference to an .asmx web service?
2.)  When would you (personally) use a callout versus a web service?  I am having some trouble getting my head around this issue.

Thanks for you time,

Matt
