The leading provider of Caller ID technology for wireless phones, Cequint, has developed the City ID, which identifies more than 15000 cities, towns with the tool to identify both local and long distance callers. Initially, Alltel has launched this service on the LG AX275. The company is offering this service as a seven day trial. Later on company will offer this service for 15 day free trail and on Alltel phones. City Id automatically matches with the any incoming phone number with US city based and state, where number is registered.
