A way to add company and title for incoming calls? - Treo Forum

b081 · 06-03-2008, 10:15 AM

Does anyone know a way to add company name and title for incoming calls? Stock phone application displays only contact's name and its phone number, but this doesn't really help when one deals with a lot of business contacts.

welcome b081 to treonauts. I dont use the 650 anymore. Are you ising palm desktop or outlook. If outlook you could use contacts to show business name and the number last name IBM first name marketing maybe. Dont know about palm desktop havent used it since palm IIIC PDA

Thanks :-)
I'm using Palm Desktop (and Tunderbird for e-mail). I didn't quite get your idea, sorry; I can manually prefix or suffix (that is edit each and every business contact by hand) company name to either first or last name, I figured as much, but somehow I was hoping for a cleaner solution :-)

Well I am using the 750 on winmob6 and I haven't used a 650 in almost 2 years so I am not sure there's a cleaner stock solution. There may be differnt pim applications like datebook6 that could do what you want. Someone with current 650 or 680 or 700p can help you better.

Take a look at CallerInfo It may not be pretty, but there's a Trial version to test drive. See if that will work for you.

Thanks, cartogary, this seems to be exactly what I was looking for; I'll give it a try for a week or so. Other possibility I've found were CallFilter (except it does and costs a lot more), but caller info were uglier.
