Abstract
A system and method to enable the designation of previously recorded responses to communications originating from a known contact for the purpose of facilitating individualized contact, particularly in the commercial and professional spaces. A plurality of contact addresses may be added to a single contact profile to allow for multiple communication methods per contact. A plurality of communication methods may be utilized including, but not limited to, telephone calls, text messages and email transmissions. Media files, documents, images and audio files, for example, may be attached to the previously recorded responses to communications. The designated response may further contain GPS location data, which may be included in the previously recorded response transmission.
