Caller ID

[cipher6]

What do you guys do to get caller ID working on your DINC?

Also, anyone know of any reverse phonebook apps, hopefully free?

Do you mean like city id?

 

[cipher6]

But doesn't that just show what city the call originated from? I mean like the caller ID I used to have on my stupid phone... where it shows the name of the caller, if available.

 

[ned4spd8874]

Yes, that does show the city of the call.

As far as I know, the only way to do that is have that number in your contacts. Sorry, I don't know of any other program or way to accomplish this. Maybe someone else will chime in here.

i was just looking at my friends metro pcs dumb phone and noticed this. I am pretty sure it is not available for the Dinc. I don't even know if it is available for verizon at all. I did not have it on my dare and i don't remember it ever being an option.

On my old non-smart phone with Verizon I had caller ID... I think it cost a few bucks a month. It was just like the caller Id you get on your land line through the phone company. Number and name of caller was displayed.

Seriously... the DINC can't do this?

I don't think the actual name is a possibility. AFA the reverse lookup, Mr Number has an option for this and for blocking any number or number starting with any 3 digits you'd like (800, 888, etc.)

Mr Number looks pretty cool. Too bad it's $1.99 a month. I'd consider it if there were a flat fee for it. Or a free alternative.

I don't want to jinkx myself, but I've had mr number installed for 2 weeks now and still have access to the CID and reverse lookup
