Abstract

See full text

Techniques to respond to an advertisement are described. A call server may receive a telephone call to a private calling number. The telephone call may be from a buyer in response to an advertisement placed by a seller and listing the private calling number as the contact telephone number for the advertisement. The private calling number is not a personal telephone number of the seller but is associated with a personal telephone number and an SMS enabled personal telephone number of the seller. The call server may also automatically create and send an SMS text message to the SMS enabled personal telephone number of the seller in response to receiving the telephone call from the buyer. The SMS text message indicates the private calling number as the source of SMS text message and includes a telephone number of the buyer. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
