[Asterisk-Users] NuFone and CallerID

If you want the CallerID name, you can hack together a script to query
Google's phonebook via AGI. It's damn fast and you can cache the
results in a database. You don't always get a match, but in that case
you can resort to the city/state database from www.nanpa.com/reports
and at least get the location of the exchange of the call. Still more
info that just the number :). 760-753 for example is ENCINITAS, CA,
operated by Pacific Bell.

nanpa.com provides the their DB for download -- it's about 130K
records for all states. Not sure how "legal" the Google hack would be,
so use it at your own risk. It does work, though... and often provides
you the name, address, city and state.
