Vonage Paulie,
Your only solution is to just wait it out until the phone companies
Paulie,
Your only solution is to just wait it out until the phone companies that are displaying your old, misspelled name update their databases. This WILL happen!
I really don't know much beyond what I've already told you, but I suspect that there may be some sort of "caching" system. Perhaps if you've called an area in the past, and there's no current info on the number available, then it checks in the cache. This may not be true, at all, but how else can we explain how a brand new number from a POTS company will show the proper Caller ID information, immediately, but it takes several months for that information to disappear when the number is ported to Vonage?
Vonage subscribes to the databases, but for incoming calls, only. They do not register their subscribers. Therefore, when I call someone in another locale, usually the recipient's Caller ID displays "Unknown" because there is no entry for my number in the database. When I call other areas, however, the display shows "Arlington, VA" because the system there looks up any unknown numbers to see where the area code/prefix is located.
