A system for providing voucher dispensing and redeeming using current
mobile communications hardware and infrastructure. The system enables the
creation, reception and usage of voice vouchers, wherein digital vouchers
are embodied as attachments within voicemail messages. In this way, the
system enables the transfer and interaction with online vouchers using
existing voicemail systems, such that the content and authentication data
of a voucher may be received and redeemed using a standard mobile
communications device. Furthermore the voucher may be verified and
controlled by a voucher vendor, by using a specialized voucher server.
