Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus providing program information to a mobile device are provided by certain embodiments of the invention. According to one embodiment, program information for a program may be associated with an information carrying tone that is transmitted to a mobile device associated with an operator by a tone transmission device. An indication received responsive to the mobile device receiving the information carrying tone can be stored, and at least one entry associating the program and the operator can be stored responsive to receiving the indication. Also according to various aspects, following receipt of the indication, program information can be communicated to the operator, such as terms and conditions or enrollment information, and it may be determined whether the operator desires to enroll in the respective program or accepts terms and conditions.
