摘要
A method of operation enables a mobile station or other wireless communication device to query a supporting wireless communication network for directory listing information associated with a phone number specified by the query. Preferably, the mobile station issues the query using short-messaging services (SMS) or other text messaging facilities supported by the network and may specify a desired data format as part of its query. The network returns a short-messaging response to the mobile station that includes one or more data items, such as directory listing information, associated with the specified phone number. The range of information returned may be altered or expanded to include promotional information, coupons, sales notices, etc., where the queried number is a commercial listing. The mobile station may initiate such queries responsive to the user dialing a number, as part of updating stored contact lists, or based on the user's initiation.
