Abstract

A method and system for providing targeted advertisement and informational announcements with selected ringtones to consumers over a wireless communications network. In one embodiment, local advertisers register to iphoneappdata.com, when communication devices are in close proximity, as a consumer enters a predetermined GPS longitude and latitude coordinate that is near the location of the advertiser, the wireless network delivers a message and corresponding ringtone to the wireless device which is specified by the local advertiser. In a further embodiment, each of the messages stored in the database is also associated with one or more sub advertiser codes so unique advertisements can be sent from multiple chain advertisers. A follow-up advertisement can be sent after a pre-established waiting period and database checks are performed to determine if the same advertisement was sent out previously or within a specified period.
