[FREEWARE] [App] Advanced Network Caller ID - Updated v6

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 its 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

damn this sounds pretty cool concept wise but gonna have to wait until it goes to beta and gets out of alpha... def something im gonna keep my eyes on.

I've used the previous versions for a little and it has potential. The one thing I hated was that it would diagnose those in my contacts and not just once, but every time, which got annoying. Again, neat concept, I'm just more curious if the changes are going to resolve my previous issues. As with anything however, you should try for yourself and see if it fits your needs. Good luck.
