I'm curious to know, has anyone actually seen a name come up? The only thing that comes up for me when someone calls is the number.
I've got more phones than fingers

Any home phone landline, or a Rogers home phone?Originally Posted by DH

Rogers landline.

Don't get me wrong, but what is the point in the service, most people don't have a Rogers landline.

It's any landline. It doesn't work for Bell or Telus cell calls unless the number is in your address book. It also does not work on unlocked phones or when the caller blocks their name and/or number.

Doesn't need to be a Rogers landline, any call that originates from any landline should display a name.
Name display functionality totally depends on your handset. Some phones support it, while others don't . There used to be a list of phones that work with name display, but it seems to have disappeared in the website redesign.

Ok so if the phone is unlocked, you won't see the name?
That's another big stuppidity form Robbers.
Anyway mine is unlocked and I preffere it this way.
The softwares that Rogers uploads are old,not the newest versions with improvements at least not for N series
The road to hell is paved with NOKIAS

What do you mean by "N" series?
Phone Collector
Your phone has to have these features for the "Rogers Name Display" : aka: CNAP (Caller Name Display) to work
1. If you use Rogers/Fido cell phone network in Canada
2. If you subscribed to "Name Display" from Rogers/Fido
3. Your phone frimware should support CNAP (Caller Name Display) feature
4. Only Rogers/Fido phones and some unlocked phones have this special feature enabled
5. Some phones even unlocked support "Rogers Name Display" but the name does not get stored in call logs, only displayed while ringing. (Eg: Nokia E71)
Hope this helps...

N series are phones like N95,N73 etc
E series E71,E63 etc
Both are similar woth Symbian operating system form S60 3rd edition to 5th edition
Radiation is good
It does work on some unlocked phones....it used to work on my N97
Radiation is good
I can confirm it works on non-Rogers handsets.
Radiation is good
works on my UNlocked, but rogers branded N95 8gb
Prepaid is to contract like a mistress is to a wife. No wonder so many people don't want contracts

Worked on my unlocked N82 before. Works on my iPhone 3G with v3.1.2. However, if you have a lower firmware, it won't work. Works fine for all BlackBerry's too.
Truthfully, the NameDisplay is pretty pointless. Rogers is the only carrier in the world to offer this (from what I remember) and half the time it doesn't even work
