caller ID issues

Yes...VoIP is not effective for caller id or for 911 emergency services. It
really should not replace a hardwire landline.

The caller ID coming from my VZW phone shows incorrectly on ANY phone....
VZ, other cell providers....

Caller ID works just fine on my Vonage lines, both in and out, with name. No
different than pots.

Granted, VoIP has yet to deal effectively with 911, but I don't really
understand why so much empasis is placed on this issue. What did you do
before 911?? It hasn't been around forever, you know. Also, In my 58 years
I've never had to use it.

Given that my total phone bill is now about 1/3 what it was with Verizon and
a $0.039 long distance plan, I'm quite happy without a hardware landline!!
;-) You are welcome to keep sending payments to your RBOC. They appreciate
it! BTW, I just got a REFUND check from Verizon today!! Credit following
cancellation...

Now, about the thread drift issue.... Verizon Wireless started attaching the
city name to Caller ID last week instead of state. In my case and a couple
of other people that I am aware of, the city is showing INCORRECTLY. This is
a VZW issue.

Anyone else?? Please, keep the VoIP comments elsewhere.

Please get real... I have had Vonage since last October and yes there has
been issues and caller ID was one of them. However since my analog device
has been replaced with the Motorola unit it has been flawless. The only
difference on caller ID with Vonage is that your outgoing caller ID only
shows a number and not a name. With E911 that is a whole different issue and
if you register when you sign up with Vonage it should still work correctly.
I had SBC disconnect the wire over a year ago and have never looked back.

A lot of the calling cards you purchase will show a different area
code and number. I live on the Eastern Shore of VA and can get ones
here that show GA or AL on the caller ID.

What does this issue have to do with calling cards??

The exchange is definitely for Norfolk. I've found other friends
experiencing this same issue.

Caller ID from the VZW phone shows incorrect city. VZW blames land line
company, but the problem has been seen on 4 different land line providers.

Somebody else (other that the 6 I know) has got to have this issue. Anyone?
