A telephony method and system deals with telephone calls related to
advertisements, such as classified advertisements. When a caller responds
to an advertisement, he inputs a reference to the advertisement. The
advertiser or an agent is extracted from a database, and called. The
advertiser is given the option of accepting the call, refusing the call or
indicating that the advertiser wishes to receive no further calls. If the
advertiser accepts the call, the advertiser is connected to the caller.
