摘要

A system and method to deliver a pre-recorded audio broadcasted promotional message (advertising, commercial, announcement, or other related activities) to people in the public when the targeted users use a prepaid telephone calling card to make a call. As an incentive to entice users in the public to use this unique calling card, the card will be provided either FREE, sold at deep discount to the users, or credit for additional minutes in usage to other calling card that the users possess. In return, the inventors plan to collect advertising revenues from their clients to cover the expenses of producing the calling cards and the promotional messages and obtain profit. The promotional message will be short but mandatory during the first and/or each calling card usage. Once the promotional message is broadcasted, it is followed by normal usage for the remaining duration of the calling card. The system and method are universal in their application and can be used to satisfy any business or non-business clients requiring broadcasted promotional message to solicit business and/or making general announcement to the public for all purposes.
