A
system and method for enabling a user to request and receive product information, participate in voting or
polling activities,
reprint an article or other publication, request and authorize a purchase of a
magazine subscription, music sound clip, or other product, and / or share personal information with other users. The service request and
information delivery may provided over a
mobile phone. The user dials a series of digits into their phone and enters them into the disclosed
system, for example by pressing the send key on a
mobile phone. The digits entered by the user include a prefix or routing code, and a data code. The dialed digits are transferred to a call switching
system, which determines, based on the
prefix code, a
processing system to which a message is sent including the originally dialed digits as well as identification of the user or phone that placed the call. The
processing system may then determine, based on the identification of the
mobile phone that placed the call, a user account. The
processing system further determines, based on the data code of the dialed digits, the product information or other service such as entry of a
polling response, vote, or product purchase, that is to be provided. The user account information may then be used to determine a delivery technique, such as
electronic mail using an
electronic mail address associated with the phone that made the call, SMS / MMS / EMS
Text messaging, or WAP push, through which the product information associated with the data code may be forwarded to the requesting user.
