How about support for Caller ID name lookups?
fbroce:
Interesting. I mostly want to be able to add it to google voice so I would need the obi modification
to do what I want.
I have several linux servers running here and have played with asterisk. I may try your perl script
if I decide to use asterisk.
Great articles on your blog site.

Would there be any way to maintain a simple contact list (name and number) in either the OBiTalk portal or the OBi 110's device configuration page to pull the Caller ID names from?
I understand this won't retrieve a name for a number you don't already know or haven't already labelled, but 99% of my incoming calls are from known people. This would essentially help you filter out the unwanted calls anyways as they wouldn't be labelled...
I would assume that would be relatively simple to code for as all calls are already logged in the OBi. Just a simple string search when the call comes in against the caller database in the OBi (returning the name) should accomplish this. If the name wasn't found, it could even be coded to return a standard string telling you the name isn't in the database; something such as "Not Found" or "Not in DB."
This could even be expanded on later to list the "most frequent callers," "the longest call," "total call time," "average call time," etc... The statistics possibilities are endless. Obviously these are potential additions for a later date, the Caller ID names are the most important.
What does everyone think?
Thanks!

How about tying it in to your speed dial numbers list? If you receive a call from a number that matches one in your speed dial list then display the name from the OBiTalk speed dial listing.

Also a great idea.
Any input from the developers on implementing caller ID name lookups?

Google Talk is able to do contact lookups with the db in Google Voice.
I would love for Obi to do the same thing, so it will put Caller Name info as CNAM data from our contacts.
