Abstract
A pager and two-way paging system may be provided which allow the pager user to send a request for movie information. The system identifies the general location of the pager user; compiles theater location, movie and show time information appropriate to the pager user's location; and transmits the information to the pager user. In a more sophisticated system, the pager user may be able to select a theater, movie and show time and transmit the selection from the pager to the paging system. The service provider of the paging system then arranges for tickets to that movie to be purchased in advance for the pager user.
