Here's a link to where the OTA trial version is. It will work for more than 30 days.

AreaCodeLookup is a program that allows you to see where an incoming call is by its area code. If the incoming call is not listed in the address book, it will display the location of where the area code covers. It works even if the keyboard is locked! The program has all known area codes embedded but you can also use a simple text file to make your own names for any area code you want to change the description for. The text file is not required and you only need to change the area codes you feel like customizing. It currently does not work on the Bold 9000 but all other models should work.
Example of contents of Areacodes.txt textfile. First line is number of entries (1 per area code and description set). Next line is the area code and next is the description. Then repeat area code and description for each additional one. You can also add more digits all the way up to the full number. Put the longest ones first like the example below. You can have as many three digit areacodes as you want but are limited right now to 100 entries over three digits. This limit is due to the fact that it has to react very fast when a call is incoming and I haven't tested out the speed on many phones yet.
Here's what the optional textfile would look like:
5
612
Minneapolis, MN
4254661672
My Fake Phone Number
425466
Eastside Seattle Cell Phone
425
Eastside of Seattle

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com10-20-08 06:28 AM - I would love to have an app that does this. However, a little research has turned up that Cequint has tight patent control over this with their City ID technology.
Not to mention, accessing incoming caller ID info requires that you sign your app. This costs $100 for a key from RIM and ties you to the final app. A risky proposition since Cequint is likely quite litigious with their IP.
That's too bad. I was thinking of slapping something together for this exact thing. However, since I am a rookie I won't be sticking my neck out like that.
