Hey I was wondering if any one knows of a way to get the state to show up when a unknown number calls based on the area code.
For instance,
503-555-5555 calls you and you know its from Oregon, even if the number isn't in your address book.
I know of Panoramic Area Code Genius app that requires you to punch in the area code manually. Which is fine, but my last phone had some feature where it showed up as caller ID. Just curious. Thanks
I would love this....

Is there a program out there that can recognise the area code of an incoming call (for a telephone number that isn't in your contacts list) and tell you where the call is coming from? I guess it would simply a matter of having a small database of all the UK (or whichever country you were interested in) area codes and taking the first five digits of the incoming call and matching it to the area code.
Such a program would be quite useful especially when you get a missed call from a number you don't recognise. If you new which town the call came from, you might be able to guess who it was (obviously this system wouldn't work for all calls, blocked or mobile numbers for example wouldn't work).
Any programs out there? If not anyone care to make one
good idea!
yeah that would be a great program!! Anyone??
Is this possible without actually changing my area code, I just moved to the other coast and get annoyed by having to dial an area code every time I dial a local number, but for the past few years I've had the same phone number and don't want to change and lose all my old contacts... And yes I'm aware I can change it in the text menu but I'm talking about phone calls only, not texts.. Thanks..
I just add area codes to the phone numbers of all my contacts if you call local it don't matter if you add area code so that works for me
So i recently got invited to join google voice.. however when i sign in and it tells me to pick a number.. i put in my zip code and it says no numbers are available.. so then i put in my entire area code and it also says no number are available
does this mean i cant use the service and am simple **** out of luck? Or can i just pick any random number it comes up with even if its 30 states away because its all internet based and not an actual voice plan so it wont charge you any different depending on the number you use?
Seems like its either that or i just plain dont use the service, because even though im invited, it has no numbers available in my specific area for me to use, the closest ones are one state away
No #'s in your area. Pick another area code in your state or another state
Hard to believe there are NO available numbers in your area code. Are you sure you're picking the aaa in aaa-bbb-cccc? and nothing else? Maybe there's a problem with google servers while you were trying to register a number.
Seems GV only has metro area #'s. Tried for an AK # with no luck. Most other states should have #'s. With people moving and not changing #'s the area code is just a # now.
Hi All
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere or fixed, I couldn't find anything that covered this exact problem hence the post.
Also apologies in advance, this is gonna be a little long...
A little History:
====
I use my cell phone for both work and personal since I own my own business. I really hated having clients or potential clients knowing my direct cell phone number when calling them.
While I could program all of them into my cell with a *82 in front to block the caller id, I decided to go the other way so I wouldn't have to remember to do it on manually dialed calls.
Thus at my request, AT&T several years ago changed my network ANI default setting from "Allowed" to "Blocked" meaning by default, my caller id info is blocked when I dial, unless I put *82 in front of the number to override.
People in my phone book that I wanted my number unblocked for, I simply put *82 in front of their stored number.
At the time I did this I had a Blackberry Curve and all worked fine. I could call _AND_ SMS/TXT/MMS as normal - important to note.
Recently I got an Atrix 4g running Android 2.2 (now rooted). All was good until I tried SMS'ing a number in my phone book. Turns out the SMS app (default android app) does not like the *82 in front of the number. Instead of recognizing *82 as a valid ANI control code and thus ignoring/passing it, it thinks it is part of the actual phone number and errors out.
So now I have to have two numbers entered into every entry in my phone book that I want to be able to SMS or call without my number being blocked by default. One entry with *82 in front of it to call them unblocked and one entry without the *82 to be able to SMS them.
Anyone have any ideas how to get around this? As I see it it's something that either Motorola or the Android developers need to fix, i.e. telling the SMS app to ignore/pass valid ANI control codes.
Thanks in advance

Is this the standard android text messaging app?
What country and carrier as well?
Whenver I dial with 7 digits, the phone does not recognize the contact entry. I'm pretty sure that my previous phone (iPhone 4s) would recognize 5551234 as the same as 123 555 1234 and know my contacts name. At least it did with my home area code, probably not for numbers outside my area code.
This phone just calls it unknown. Is there a setting for this I can adjust to dial with 7 digits?
Nope. Sorry
i called tech support about the same thing. I'm coming from t mobile. had to ad my area code to majority of my contacts...sucks. Another thing i miss is t-mobile had caller id with name for numbers not in your contact list. Worked like land line caller id. with ATT we're stuck with just the number It seems like those types of things would be easy to implement features..

its the provider issue...
if you put your local tmo sim into your HOX, you could still enjoy the 7 digits calling feature
