Hmmm, this CNAM stuff is tricky too!
So, if I understand correctly, if you receive an incoming call from an unrecognized or infrequent caller, you will not receive the full CNAM from *any* ITSP (just the city/state), or will some of them show you the EXACT SAME caller name as the traditional copper phone company/RBOC/POTS? [eg. Joes Flower Shop, Citibank, State Farm Insurance, Lower Interest, etc]
giqcass:
In the US CNAM is always determined by the company that terminates the call. It can change from one "Copper Line" company to the next. The info is looked up from a database. There is no single universal database but rather many. Often CNAM for cell phones and VOIP services are not listed or unreliable. When you just get "City, State" instead of the name it's often one of those services with high turnover. CNAM information may take a while to propagate to the various databases for customers with a new line of service as well. Some companies use an external database well others use internal. I like callcentric because it checks your personal phone book first. That accounts for most of my calls. When everything is working correctly Callcentric CNAM is comparable with "Copper Line" CNAM. Reports suggest Callcentric CNAM doesn't always function but it is difficult to know how much of the blame is on Callcentric itself.
MikeHObi:
I know that both Callcentric and Anveo will look at your user maintained address book (on their web portal) to lookup names first. Anveo has an option then to do a database lookup for name if not found in your address book and charge $0.0090 to do it.

sdb or giqcass or anyone else who has input:
I would like to know your assessment of localphone in terms of what you like about it, what you don't like, service quality/reliability, and any downsides of using it for incoming and/or outgoing.
dmd1:
@ sdb-
Were you able to get a local number from Anveo? I sent email to Anveo regarding this but they did not reply.
Thanks.
