Premium Caller ID -- see Name and Number

[sexpanther]

Nice. I'm getting this tomorrow. New Sprint feature.

Premium Caller ID shows the name and number of the caller when they are calling you from landline, IP, or cell phone. $2.99/month

That's a first!

 

S3/S4/S5/Note4      4s/5/5c/5s/6/6+ compatible right now.

Yeah, I'm interested in how this works.

As much as I am paying sprint a month, it should come at no extra charge.

Agreed. It would be nice. 

You must be overpaying with Sprint if you talking about it.  Sprint has some good plans.

Nothing to do with wifi. (I am curious if it still works when you are using the Wifi calling feature though). 

 

It pulls the info from the CNAP Directory..google it, that's what I know.

With the new plans versus the plan I am currently on, it is a wash on the cost.  No real savings for my family.

I figured that much. I wondered how it was doing this at a start of a call, quickly enough though.  Unless data is still connected during phone ringing?

In most cases there is only a second or 2 for the info to download and show the info, and with triband devices, as the call tunneling is working to notify the phone of an incoming call, poof, there's the data.

I just contacted Sprint and was told that this is not available to customers on corporate plans.  I guess even though I want to give them more money, they will not take it.

Caller ID on landlines doesn't come up until the 2nd ring.

But even when connected to EVDO or 1xRTT / roaming?

That I don't know, but it makes sense with LTE and triband devices.

I'm sure that's wrong. I'm also sure they've prob never heard of it and know nothing about it.
