Abstract
A method and apparatus for obtaining, storing and accessing information using a wireless communication device is disclosed. A request is sent from a wireless communication device to a information agent, typically a human operator or an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. The information agent formulates a search for the requested information and sends the search result to memory associated with the wireless communication device. Memory is provided at the information agent and in local storage such as a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) in the wireless communication device. The search result can then be accessed at the wireless communication device. Information can be obtained by a search of a proprietary database or by using a search engine to find information over the Internet. The user can be given options concerning types and formats of requested information, as well as options to for using the requested information at the wireless communication device.
