(LIttle Rock, AR) Alltel Wireless, the largest network in the U.S., announced today that it will make City ID available on select Alltel phones.
City ID identifies the location of incoming phone numbers by displaying the city and state assigned to virtually any landline or wireless phone number in North America.
City ID automatically matches any incoming phone number with the U.S.-based city and state where the number is "registered." The application displays the results along with the incoming number, providing customers with information that can assist in identifying calls.
City ID, an application from Cequint, the leading developer of Caller ID technology for wireless phones, can identify more than 15,000 cities, towns and neighborhoods, providing users with a tool to identify both local and long distance callers.
The application is initially available on the LG AX275 model phone, and will be available on additional Alltel phones in the near future.
At launch, Alltel Wireless is offering a free seven-day trial of City ID, and later devices will include a 15-day free trial.
After the trial ends, the application will be available for a monthly charge of $1.99. The application is pre-installed on the phone.
