Comprehensive Contact Identifiers

WhitePages' Current Caller ID Integrates Social Updates & More

— August 8, 2012 — Tech
Described as the future of smartphone calling, Current Caller ID by WhitePages provides an integrated, all-in-one approach to identifying your contacts when they call you.

Current Caller ID is an Android app that combines all the facets of a particular contact on your phone -- for example, his recent social media updates, local news and weather, and visually appealing infographics that display your recent communication history with him -- and displays it as the person's calling screen when he calls you.

Overall, Current Caller ID instantly brings you up to date regarding the person who is calling you, so you never miss a beat when it comes to your phone conversations. The video here describes some of the main features of the Current Caller ID app.
Trend Themes
1. Integrated Contact Management - The integration of various types of data about a contact in one place presents opportunities for applications or systems that can allow for seamless management of all types of communication.
2. Personalized Caller Information - Customized information about the caller can be an aspect that brings value to a person's phone conversation experience, leading the way for innovative ways to display information about the caller.
3. Real-time Information Consolidation - The consolidation of real-time data from multiple sources on a single screen or platform can provide value and convenience to users, creating opportunities for new services that allow for easier access to comprehensive information.
Industry Implications
1. Smartphone Applications - The all-in-one caller identification approach of Current Caller ID can disrupt other similar applications by allowing users to access more than just the identifying information of a contact.
2. Telecommunications Industry - Telecommunication companies can have opportunities to partner with technology companies to create a more seamless caller identification function that allows them to manage and provide better context on the caller.
3. Social Media Applications - Current Caller ID's integration with social media can inspire technological advances in this field, prompting other social media apps to integrate with other types of communication technology.
