A shopping assistance method and service system is provided in which a shopper captures information about an item of interest ( 90 ) and sends it over a mobile radio infrastructure ( 10 ) to a service system ( 40 ). At the service system, the information is processed to identify at least the type of item of interest. A determination is also made of a location associated with the information, this location will generally be that of the store ( 92 ) where the shopper captured the information, but could also be the shopper's home location. The service system next carries out a specific task ( 72 ) relating to the identified item ( 90 ), such as obtaining comparative prices, and then provides a report back to the shopper, the contents and/or organisation of the report taking account of the location previously determined as being associated with the information.
