Abstract
The invention provides a group message delivery system that includes a memory device coupled to a group message controller. The group message controller generates a group telephone number and a database corresponding to the group telephone number in the memory device based on first information received from a first caller. The first information includes a group list of at least one telephone number corresponding to at least one receiving party. The group message controller responds to a call by a second caller to the group telephone number by receiving second information from the second caller and delivering a message included in the second information to the at least one receiving party.
