I of course do not want to infringe on anyone's patent. I need to see if this is a US patent or international patent. Maybe it could be used outside the USA?
AreaCodeLookup was a program that allows you to see where an incoming call is by its area code. If the incoming call was not listed in the address book, it will display the location of where the area code covers. 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 should now work on the Bold and Storm. You should obviously backup your data before installing as with any application. Send me an email if you have questions or comments

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.
