A method for providing enhanced caller information to a communications recipient includes storing enhanced caller information in memory of a card distributed to a cardholder. An information reader reads the enhanced caller information from the memory of the card when the cardholder attempts to initiate a telephone call. The read enhanced caller information is inserted into voice signals used to establish the telephone call with the communications recipient. The voice signals with the inserted enhanced caller information are transmitted to the communications recipient over a network. A cellular telephone includes an information reader for reading the enhanced caller information from an external caller information storage device, for example, a card. An information insertion module of the cellular telephone merges the enhanced caller information with voice signals used to establish a telephone call with a communications recipient. The cellular telephone includes a transmitter for transmitting the voice signals with the merged enhanced caller information over a network to the communications recipient. |
