<p class=MsoNormal>I just checked several of my numbers and several others
known to me, it really isn't much better<br>
2 of them returned names other than mine, and all had the wrong city, though at
least the state was correct.<br>
All but one also had the wrong carrier.<br>
I fear these databases are are so full of errors that they are mostly
worthless. <br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>If you can use curl, and can do
some text parsing and know regular expressions, you may be able to use this
free CNAM service: <a href="http://www.numberguru.com/">http://www.numberguru.com/</a> and
integrate into your system. This one appears to have a more complete
database. When I tried my number, I have gotten my full name, but when I
use the FreeCNAM project below, I just get Florida.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I've been toying around with the idea of starting some kind
of 'Open CNAM' project to destroy the current money hustle BS that dominates
this industry. The ever-growing FreeCNAM database may be a good starting
point for such a project.<br>
<br>
I would also like to use Bitcoin (BTC) as the micropayment solution for
user-requested updates. Some nominal fee.<br>
<br>
If anyone wants to get involved, contact me. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi,<br>
<br>
The junk in CNAM databases like "FLORIDA", "ONTARIO"
etc. is IMO the<br>
carrier's way to isolate their users and another excuse to charge more money<br>
for 'the better plan'. In the end, it's the carrier that inputs the info so<br>
if it shows "FLORIDA" with one database I can't see how any other
database<br>
would be different as the carrier is the only one that controls the outbound<br>
CID info. Calling me from POTS to snatch the CID will result in the same.<br>
<br>
...unless there were a user friendly CNAM service, where info could be<br>
updated by the end-user and queried freely by voip providers. I would update<br>
my cellular numbers for sure and know at least a dozen people that would do<br>
the same. Everyone is going VoIP so why not?<br>
<br>
Talking about 'where's the money or angle'... here is one, vanity. Charge<br>
$1/yr to a user per DID, if I don't renew then delete it and re-query the<br>
original carrier.<br>
