Real time Reverse Lookup App
Hi, I am working on an app (testing on bold 9700 simulator) (will work on other blackberries as well)
What is does is upon receiving an incoming call that is not in your address book, it performs a reverse lookup on the number.
From the the lookup, it will display (in addition to any info already present) the Name and location of the caller.
If the lookup fails (example, cell phones are not able to be reversed) it will display the location based on area code.
Is anyone interested in such an app? I know some exist already, but they don't display the info while the phone is ringing.
I have it working in the simulator now, but would need to pay RIM for their signed API's in order to begin testing on actual devices.
Features:
-Reverse lookup of phone number
-Area code based location (ie city/region/country)
-displays info while phone is ringing, and not when the call is ended
-Multiple connection options (WIFI, BIS/BES etc)
I want this to be a very simple app, which runs only in the background using very little memory.
Anyways, if this is a good idea I would be looking for people willing to test it out later on.
I have looked around, but most apps have pretty low reviews, and only work after the call has ended (obviously for this to work you need a device capable of simultaneous data+voice, all 3G phones support this, and wifi is also another option).
Thanks!
