Posted: Sat Feb 23, 2008 7:53 am Post subject: Caller ID Discovery

I don't post all that often but I've been around a while. If this has already been discovered, I apologize for the repeat but it may be worth repeating.

When my wife calls from work it always shows up as "unknown caller." Now she says her work phone number is not hidden and I see a great deal of those so I didn't give it too much thought.

For some reason a few weeks ago she called me but instead of using her speed dial she actually pushed the numbers with the area code, which is in the same area code as my Vonage number. Her work name and number came up on the Vonage caller ID. I told her and she hung up and called the regular way, and again "unknown number." So she changed her speed dial to include the are code.

When I use my Verizon wireless phone I always have to use the area codes or it won't work.

So I think something is going on between caller ID and Vonage getting the number correctly. I've noticed that local outside area callls, liike from my Dentist who is 3 miles away always show up but they have to dial my area code.

So we've got two choices: you can tell anyone you want that has your number that they need to use the area code (like Verizon does), or Vonage can step in and maybe tweak the technology so it will pick up on caller ID so others in your local area don't have to type in the area code as well.

Since I've had Vonage and I haven't seen one technical improvement or addition over the last two years, I think we are stuck with plan 2. The addition of E911 was a necessity and I know it was a huge undertaking but that IMHO doesn't count.

I like Vonage and have no plans to change but these little things should be worked on.
