Outbound Calls "Unknown" on caller ID instead of State Name
 

I am wondering if anyone worked on a program which will show caller ID (State name) if you are calling outside your contact list. Whenever I make a call to random number I don't know which state phone that phone number belongs too. My old phone Katana used to show state name by areacode associate with it.

Thanks,

hmmmm...

sammich has the state callerid fix, but i dont know if that pertains to outbound calling..

i know exactly what your talking about though... anytime i didnt know where a call was from, id just put in the area code and 333-3333 and even without pressing talk, itd show the state..

unfortunately that was lost when i moved to smartphones...

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch-...ort-added.html theres the link, but it does say "incoming call" but maybe theres more info in there or you can ask there also..

ive also read reference to turning off the HTC dialer SKin and youd get some the the state caller id function back, but ive never actually tried it, as this isnt something i really mind having or not having.. you can disable the dialer skin by going to HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin and change the Enabled to "0", and soft resetting... but again, never tried it so i dont know if the claim has truth..

thats all i got for now lol

As long as I have had a WM device, it has never showed the area code location for outgoing calls, only incoming. I wish there was a way to show the area code location just by dialing it though... That'd be pretty useful.

Actually... I just got an idea. Off to Visual Studio!

Sammich,

I know Chevy had a fix to allow your City/State Cab to work on VzW. You may recall that it didn't work -- or caused problems -- after VzW upgraded to MR2 (WM6.5 / Sense 2.5).

Do you have any ideas on how to make your great cab work on VzW?
