Vonage How many of us have received calls from "Wireless Caller"? I saw this feature advertised
How many of us have received calls from "Wireless Caller"? I saw this feature advertised on another Voip company's web site; I don't remember which company. The feature is to rename the preset names that are displayed on a Caller-ID display when someone calls.
The week I subscribed to Vonage was the same week I went down to Circuit City and purchased the Panasonic KX-TG5230 5.8GHz cordless phone.
After researching numerous other models and brands, I decided this was the one and only perfect phone for my household's needs. Among many other features, it has Talking Caller-ID, in which it attempts to read the Caller-ID name out loud.
This is a very convenient feature; while hunting around the house following the ringing to find an available handset, I can hear who's calling. This saves time because I don't have to actually find it and look at it to read who's calling.
In addition, if I'm occupied by some other task, my phone is essentially telling me who's calling from across the room, if not from another room, without me having to be interrupted in order to get close enough to read the display.
It must be programmed with a way to decipher spellings; I can't customize my own pronunciations, but most of the time, I don't need to. It does quite a decent job of "decoding" the name.
Enough about the phone. The issue here is that when I receive a call from "Wireless Caller", the phone tells says, "Call from...'Wireless Caller'". This does not help much, and I have to walk over to the phone and read the number to see who is calling.
In other instances, though the phone is good at pronouncing some names, it does butcher others. Finally, I would prefer to simply some names. I might not want my phone to say, "Call from...Doe, Jonathan." Instead, I might want it to say, "Call from...John."
If I can log into the web site and edit my "name list" under my account/feature settings, when someone calls, the system can look up the number to see if I have an alternate spelling defined in the list. If so, it would use that; otherwise, it would use the default provided over the wire.
