A method and system for providing and receiving location-based services for a planned trip of a user having access to a portable telecommunication device. The user creates, e.g., via the Internet, a trip profile. The profile contains base data about the user and the trip. After the profile is created at the Service provider's site, a scheduled delivery of information is activated. The position of the user is computed repeatedly during the trip. When new messages are available for an individual user at his individual current position, the user receives the information. If the information does not match the user's needs, he is able to react and submit his current position in order to receive the right information.
