A POI(Point Of Interest) information registration system and a method thereof are provided to enable a user to automatically store his/her own characteristic POI information, regardless of places, by enabling POI information to be automatically registered at an associated position of a map, which is provided on the web, through a wire telephone number contained in an MMS message. A POI information registration system comprises a mobile terminal(100), an MMS gateway(200), a map information registration server(300) and a wire telephone number search server(400). The mobile terminal creates an MMS message containing POI information for a specific place and an associated wire telephone number, inputs a specific feature code, which indicates the MMS message is a POI registration message, in the destination address column, and transmits it. The MMS gateway recognizes the MMS message as a POI registration message through the feature code of the MMS message, and transmits the MMS message to the map information registration server. The map information registration server extracts the wire telephone number from the MMS message, confirms a location equivalent to the extracted wire phone number on a map, and registers the POI information, contained in the MMS message, at the confirmed location. The wire telephone number search server stores addresses and coordinate values for wire telephone numbers. The wire telephone number search server extracts location information corresponding to the extracted wire telephone number and provides the extracted information to the map information registration server.
