Area code lookup on BB?
Is there a BlackBerry app that will display the city/region for an area code for an incoming call? If the caller is in my phone book, I want to keep that name on the display. If the caller isn't, I'd at least like to know the region for those times when I don't recognize the number and don't want to pick up unless I have an idea of who it might be.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I just did a search and see that in about 2007? someone wrote an app to do this...and then was threatened with a lawsuit by a larger company that said they "held the patents on the technology". The developer was forced to take down his site and there's nothing newer mentioned that I saw on a quick search.

I have both Berry-a-code and iCall Manager running on mine.
"Purpose: Berry-a-Code solves a pretty simple problem. In real-time it tells you the originating city and state for phone numbers which do not exist in your address book." It hasn't been updated in a while, so it probably doesn't have all recent area codes, but it works well enough for me.
