Cequint announced today the availability of Name ID from T-Mobile USA, Inc., the first implementation of Caller ID – one of the most popular features in the history of telecommunications – by a major wireless carrier in the U.S. Name ID is now available from T-Mobile on the Samsung Exhibit 4G, and will soon be available on additional handsets, including the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide expected to be available this month.
The enhanced Caller ID service is engineered by Cequint, a wholly owned subsidiary of TNS, Inc.. Similar to traditional landline Caller ID, Name ID securely accesses operator-validated name information managed by TNS, and displays it on the incoming call screen to reveal the name, city and state of previously unknown callers who are not stored in a mobile phone’s contacts or address book. The service also allows T-Mobile customers to add new contact information to their mobile phone’s contact list with a single click, making it easier and more convenient for customers to save contacts for future communication.
