ABSTRACT:
An automatic telephone number dialing device for use with mass-distribution media products to enable consumers to automatically dial of preprogrammed number associated with one or more sources of goods and/or services. The device may be constructed as an insert for magazines, books, direct mail advertising, or newspapers. The device may also be constructed as a customized service card for accessing sources of products or services. The preprogrammed number may be that of a centralized, automated, or personal telemarketing system. The dialing device includes a single chip microprocessor capable of producing DTMF tones corresponding to the preprogrammed telephone. By passing the tones through a miniature speaker or other sound transducer, the preprogrammed number will be automatically dialed. Related processes of manufacture and use are also disclosed.
