[asterisk-biz] CNAM lookup services: 411XML

Fri May 4 10:19:01 MST 2007

Hello:

Yes, at 411XML we offer CNAM services via a simple IP/XML query.

To answer the question RE: whether we use 411 (Directory Assistance) vs.
CNAM data, we offer both.

For CNAM-type service, we have 2 flavors:

(1) "CN" service obtains 411 DA name, city, state if available, otherwise
returns true CNAM with city, state estimate (i.e. personal names for some
cell phone carriers).

(2) "CO" service is true CNAM data and includes city/state estimate.

Your choice.  Many prefer (1) because the 411 DA name is longer (full first
and last name) and often more accurate and complete.  (2) is for those that
want the CNAM 15-character string only and all the time for some reason. The
CNAM string, however, is very inconsistent sometimes last[space]first,
sometimes last[comma] first and almost always truncated to fit.

We also offer full name and address service for your clients that want full
apartment-level addressing on their callers for sales follow-up or IVR
transaction automation.

Sincerely,

--
