Abstract
The process and network processes a mobility origination message, derives the subscriber's location and constructs a set of coupons or advertisements based on that location, for that subscriber, and at that particular time. The coupons or advertisements are then transmitted to the subscriber's handset. A retailer enters the various advertisements or coupons into the network for transmission to subscribers who call a predefined telephone number.
