People in my phone book don't even come up ID'd.

I have two Verizon accounts, and three PagePlus/Verizon accounts, and on
all phones the caller ID system will display the name of the person
calling if they're in my phone book. That's a phone function, not a
carrier function.

I called Verizon about this, an the rep said, "Oh we don't have that
capability".

Are you talking about a system that will look up names in some database
that the carrier maintains and send the name to the phone like some Caller
ID systems for landlines do? I didn't know any wireless carriers did that.
That would be pretty nice, though since so many people have complete
caller ID blocking I wonder how useful it would be.

Now, if someone calls me from a land line, I get name/number ID.

Any cell phone call, I get either "cellular call", "State call", or "cell
site call", with number.

All I'm saying is, I know they have the "capabilities", as it was some time
after they took over that the enhanced ID stopped, and it ran fine then with
the same system they took over from Alltel.

I know it's desired by some, a bane to others.
