Abstract
A system and method for providing data to a phone user based on a phone number entered by the user. The phone may access a website or send a message to a remote site when the phone number is entered or a send command is received from the user. The website may be determined by constructing a universal resource locator from the phone number or by accessing a database using the phone number. Location information may also be used to provide information to the user specific to the user'"'"'s location. In the alternative, interactive information may be automatically retrieved by the phone when a number is input using other communication channels including short messaging system (SMS) messages.
