Abstract

A method, program, and system for receiving personal identification information by means of a telecommunication device are provided. The invention comprises sending a communication transmission, and concurrent with receiving the communication transmission, sending a second transmission, wherein the second transmission contains personal identification information about the party sending the communication transmission. This personal identification information is independent of the identity of the device used to send the communication transmission and may include such information as name, telephone number, business name, address, email, and fax.
