A gifting service is described for issuing and consuming gifts via an electronic infrastructure, such as a system for distributing media resources. A giftor can interact with the electronic infrastructure to define the gift by identifying the recipient of the gift and the benefit conferred by the gift. The recipient (giftee) of the gift can be specified by identifying the telephone number of the recipient. The benefit conferred by the gift can be a monetary value that can be used like currency to purchase resources. The recipient can receive and consume the thus-defined gifts via the electronic infrastructure.
