Claims (56)

1 . A method in a computing system, comprising:

providing a telecommunications data analysis environment for a plurality of computing devices by:

receiving a search request from a computing device;

receiving an identification indicator of the mobile device;

receiving telecommunications data related to the identification indicator of the mobile device from a telecommunications network operator;

determining advertising results based on the search request and qualifying data derived from the received telecommunication data ; and

providing the determined advertising results to the computing device for display to the user.

2 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

requesting telecommunications data related to the mobile device from a telecommunications network operator.

3 . The method of claim 2 wherein the telecommunications data is at least one of a user name, user address, user postal code, user account standing, user payment history, pre-paid data, post-paid data, handset type, current mobile location and historical mobile location.

7 . The method of claim 6 wherein the indicator of the mobile device is a mobile directory number.

8 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

determining search results based on the search request and qualifying data derived from the received telecommunication data; and

providing the search results to the mobile device for display to the user.

9 . The method of claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a request from the computing device to create a user profile with a mobile directory number.

10 . A method in a client device, comprising:

facilitating an advertisements for a search marketing service by:

transmitting a search request to a telecommunications data analysis system;

transmitting to the remote system an indication an identification indicator of the mobile device;

receiving from the remote system advertising results based on the transmitted search request and the indicator of the mobile device; and

presenting the advertising results on a display to the user.

11 . The method of claim 10 further comprising:

receiving from the remote system updated advertising results based on telecommunications data related to the mobile device; and

presenting the advertising results on a display to the user.

12 . The method of claim 11 wherein the indicator of the mobile device is a mobile directory number.

13 . The method of claim 12 further comprising:

receiving from the remote system search results based on the transmitted search request and the identification indicator of the mobile device; and

presenting the search results on the display to the user.

14 . A computing system configured to facilitate a telecommunications data analysis environment, comprising:

a memory;

a module stored on the memory that is configured, when executed, to:

receive a request for information from a mobile device;

receive an indicator of telecommunication data from the mobile device;

determine results based on the request for information and the indicator of telecommunication data from the mobile device; and

provide the results to the computing device for display to the user.

15 . The computing system of claim 14 wherein the module includes software instructions for execution in the memory of the computing system.

16 . The computing system of claim 15 wherein the requested information is requested search information.

17 . The computing system of claim 16 wherein the telecommunications data is at least one of a location of the mobile device, user name, user address, user postal code, user account standing, user payment history, and average revenue per user.

18 . A computer-readable medium whose contents, when executed, cause a computing system to facilitate advertisement campaign management, by performing a method comprising:

receiving a search request from a mobile device;

receiving a mobile device number;

requesting telecommunications data related to the mobile device from a telecommunications network operator;

receiving the requested telecommunications data;

determining advertising results based on the search request, the received telecommunications data, the mobile device number; and

providing the advertising results to the mobile device for display to the user.

19 . The computer-readable medium of claim 18 wherein the computer-readable medium is at least one of a memory in a computing device or a data transmission medium transmitting a generated signal containing the contents.
