[App] Advanced Network Caller ID - Updated v.6!

[netlon]

Update 9/30/2009 - Fixes, added functionality, and program your own call providers!


I wanted to share a program I've been working on - it's basically an enhanced Caller ID. On incoming SMS or phone calls a window pops up that displays,


- The full name of caller
- Address of caller with a map link
- The number of FTC and caller complaints (to tell if it’s a spam call)
- Telco name and location (can tell what carrier the call is from)
- Relatives of caller (with age!)
- Criminal History

I've also added the ability to add the caller to the contacts book, return the call, and look at past calls. A standalone GUI to run alone and lookup past calls can also be used.

As of v .6, you can make your own call information providers for NetCallerID (and I need help/looking for people to help write providers for international support.). Documentation/HOWTO make a call information provider can be found at
http://www.netcallerid.com/bbpress/topic.php?id=5


Looking for suggestions, changes, additions - definitely let me know and I will happily (and quickly) add them. You can reach me at kwatkins@gmail.com

Release Notes --

- NetCallerID waits until the call is answered or finished before doing the network calls. For the most part, the network connection is unavailable until the phone call is ended.
- If roaming is enabled NetCallerID waits until your out of roaming.
- All history of calls are in the program files\netcallerid\calllogs directory in html format. You can view these with Opera or Pocket IE.
- The setup automatically starts the program. I also put it in \Windows\Startup to start when you re-start the phone.

Download:
http://www.netcallerid.com/get

Instructions:

Just download the cab and run it on the device. It will automatically start and also start on reset. For the msi, install it on the PC, it will be added to your phone when you connect it to the PC. Go under programs and click the netcallerid icon to run the standalone GUI.

This is very alpha. Pre alpha even. I'm not liable for anything, run at your own risk, etc etc etc

Just to needed some clarification the additional information would not be available until after the call has been accepted?

Anyway of doing this lookup if only the name is not your contact list already? or manually providing it a number to see the information on it?

[majkeljj]

this works with GSM, CDMA?

[Xtreme XL]

does this program work for other parts of the world as well (like Europe), or only for th US?

[Asphyx]

I'm gonna try this....

One Question...where is the app going to get all this information?

I'll probably have better questions and suggestions once it is installed.

I get an error when I try to run the program. Here's the message:

An unexpected error has occurred in NetCallerID.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.

File or assembly name 'OpenNETCF, Version=2.3.0.20, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=E60DBEA84BB431B7', or one of its dependencies, was not found

JasonSF -

Try a soft reset. If the error still happens let me know.

I developed it using US #'s. Some of the sites (all public) should work with international #'s tho. You can always try

If it doesn't work where you let me know and the area code etc (even sample #'s). I can test it on in the emulator.
