Frankfort seems to be further within the state lines, plus it's the capital... However it seems Louisville is quite a bit more densely populated. Could you find me a map of suburban Louisville so I can match the county lines? If Louisville covers a helluvalot more area than Frankfort, then its more likely someone calling from that area code would be from Louisville.

That is correct. The database is limited to only working with the first 3 digits. If I could specify more digits, this would be even more accurate!

Thanks.
To be honest, I'm not sure how the VZW dialer has the area code lookup disabled. A few other users have reported that it's not working on stock VZW, so if someone finds a solution, I'll update the first post.

Personally, I wouldn't mess with the dialer unless it has been tested and ALL the features work. But I'm not even sure which dialer would enable this on ROMs that lack the feature! I will update the first post if anyone suggests working dialers.

Tough release to put out since obviously everyone's got a more local name for a section of a major metro area - you probably knew you'd have to go through the "can you make _____ into ______"...
but great job!
Thanks! You're absolutely right - I was bracing myself for a bunch of requests to switch the labels lol. If anyone can show me a map or give a valid reason why one should be changed, I'll update the cab! I just want to make sure that the areas shown are the most central/major cities so that the general area is more accurate than before.

Yup, like I said above there seems to be something missing on the VZW dialer. I will let everyone know if someone finds a solution!

Hehehe! You gotta know by now that us Aggies will act proud no matter what it is . At least we can agree on awesomeness of the wonderful state of Texas! (Imagine if I had put "Saw 'em Off, Texas" for Austin area codes... BAHAHAHA! Just kidding!)
