Abstract
The present invention relates to system (100) and method for providing ultra-quick audio/video messaging phonebook and delivery. The system (100) includes an application server communicating with one or more communication devices (D1, D2), each device having an application installed therein. The application configures a device to display all contacts including registered and unregistered contacts available in memory (401) of the device. When a user selects and holds a contact, application initiates a short duration audio/video message recording for the selected contact (403) and detects whether the selected contact is a registered or an unregistered contact number of the application (4040). If the selected contact is recognized as a registered contact, the application automatically transmits the recorded message to the selected contact via the application server upon release of hold to contact (406). If selected contact is recognized as an unregistered contact, the application automatically transmits a message along with a unique web link to provide direct web access to the recorded audio/video message to the selected contact/recipient.
