Abstract
A method for obtaining information related to services within a certain area using a mobile communication device includes downloading a menu of services based on a coarse determination of the position of the mobile communication device, where each service in the menu is associated with a telephone number. The associated telephone number is used to connect to a networked based server that stores information related to a plurality of services. Once the menu of services and associated telephone numbers is downloaded, a subscriber can select one of the services in order to obtain information related to the service using the associated number.
