Abstract
A business card communication system and auto-dial business cards. The auto-dial business cards include business information indicia and computer readable call connection information. The computer readable call connection information is configured to permit a card holder to automatically place a call to a call destination designated by the card provider. The business card communication system comprises a processing system coupled to an interface system. The processing system is configured to process a call request from a communication device to translate an access number provided in the call request and generate call handling information that routes the call request to the business premise. The interface system is configured to receive the call request from the communication device and transmit the call handling information for the processing system. The communication device is configured to read the computer readable call connection information from the auto-dial business card and automatically generate the call request for a call to the business premise.
