Help Caller-ID names -- how does EPIC handle that?

[Johnny Cakes]

The Epic seems to display the CONTACT name for an incoming call which is in the contact list.

If there is no corresponding CONTACT name, then the calling number appears.

Rather than showing the calling number when there is no cooresponding CONTACT name, does the Epic have the option to display the incoming caller's name (Caller-ID name from phone company) instead of number?

To put it another way, on a landline, the caller-id shows the name (if not blocked) and number. Can the Epic do that?

Not just the epic, but no cell phone does this. Not that I know of anyway.

Not 100% true. One of coworkers has a metroPCS phone and when I called her phone to give her my number, my whole name showed up just like it does on a home caller ID. I wonder how much longer we'll have to wait to see this innovation brought to major carriers.

Has anyone tried the "MR NUMBER" app, which claims to provide Name information?
