City ID Feature Now on 2 Million Alltel Handsets

If you're the kind who can't exist with no called ID feature, you'd like Alltel's City ID feature. But it's not just you. Alltel just boasted announced that said feature is now loaded to 2 Million Alltel handsets across the US. The embedded call feature has the ability to display the city and the state of an unknown number calling your cell phone. Alltel can recognize any number from 20,000 cities in North America.

“Customers frequently do not recognize an incoming phone number and City ID provides additional information to help customers decide if they want to answer the call,” said Scott Bergs, senior vice president of customer solutions for Alltel Wireless. “Customer response to this unique application has been extremely positive due to the control it gives subscribers.”

The City ID feature offers a 15-day free trial, after which it's available for a monthly subscription of $1.99. The latest to feature the City ID is the new LG Glimmer.
