Location Caller ID
 

I am trying to find a program that will enable the caller ID of unknown callers to tell me at least where they are from. This is a basic function on the unsmart (dumb just isn't PC) phones, so one would think that a phone with some intelligence could do this no problem. Has anyone seen anything like this?

*Disclaimer* I did a search for this and came up with just one thread for the Titan, and the program seemed not to work for Windows Mobile 6 or better.
I know there is a program called WhoozCalling (or something like that) but it also doesn't work with Windows Mobile 6.

Damn, I must have had some retarded phones! None of the phones I every owned did that.

That would be an interesting feature... I guess you could write down the area code and Google it afterwards..

Re: Location Caller ID
 

wow, this is common on palm, it even show the city/state/country

Re: Location Caller ID
 

there was a thread about this around here awhile back...2 months ago or so...not sure which forum it was in...i also dont think they ever came up with anything...i cant find the thread now tho lol

page 30 for american caller id not sure how well it works

Re: Location Caller ID
 

Anyone get this to work? I installed the .cab from page 30 of the xda thread, but keep getting an error message when the program launches.

You need .net compact framework. Says so in the thread you didn't read.

Re: Location Caller ID
 

You can go here to download .NET 3.5

Re: Location Caller ID
 

I have .NET 3.5 and am also having issues.... I think the issue is that Sprint's EVDO network will not allow a data connection during an incoming voice call... making this app unusable (until Sprint changes network technologies to EVDV or something, I guess).

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, or if they get this app to work. Would be sweet to have.

Re: Location Caller ID
 

Yes, you are correct.. The Sprint network can not enable both a data session and a talk session at the same time...

Re: Location Caller ID
 

just an FYI This function comes stock on new Alltel Diamonds.. You can ask someone to do a dump think the program is called City ID or something pretty cool found it on my wife's new phone.

looks like another win for gsm lol

Re: Location Caller ID
 

On my Sprint Touch Pro the city or at least state of caller comes up on both incoming and, after number has been dialed, outgoing as well...

Re: Location Caller ID
 

so if you call pizza hut, does it say pizza hut? What if you call someone listed in the phone book?

Re: Location Caller ID
 

Someone could modify the program to include the list of area codes and the corresponding cities so it wouldn't have to use the network connection to look them up.

Re: Location Caller ID
 

If I call Pizza Hut, it just tells me what city it is located in.. Unless I have it pre-programmed, of course.. I think it had to do with the network because if lets say you call *2 from a Sprint phone, it says what it is but if I call a random business, only the location is displayed

Re: Location Caller ID
 

I think the Alltel Diamond has the list built in as i had my wife play with it a bit and it knew every area code i tried that i could remember. If any one with an Alltel Diamond can dump it you will have the program and the associated files. I don't dare touch the wifes. LOL\

I have been using it about 10 days it works great

Re: Location Caller ID
 

i downloaded this program and i cant get it to work correctly as you can, on my mogul it would tell me what state at least i was calling

Re: Location Caller ID
 

I didn't have to download the program for that to show up... That is how it does default...

Re: Location Caller ID
 

P u ss y..
KIDDING..:drunken: But if there is someone with an Alltel Diamond, that would be cool.. Us CDMA people are getting the shaft..
Maybe someone can dump everything from http://www.wherecall.com/AreaCode-Exchange/916.htm and we could carry it around on our SD cards.. LOL That would be a *****...](*,)

Re: Location Caller ID
 

That is a neat site.. A lot of info

Re: Location Caller ID
 

FYI - I just added a program and .cab file to this thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=50897

It is a modified version of Sveinung Bakken's CallerUtility (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424923) that does an area code lookup in our registry (instead of going out to the web to get address info).

Hope it helps someone.. if not, it was still fun to try my hand at WM6 dev work... ;)
