Announce the name of the caller?

Is it possible to get the iPhone announce the name of the caller? It would be very helpful when you listen to your iPhone through the headphones, and the device is comfortably tucked away in your pocket, then someone calls you and depending on who is the one calling you would pick up the call or ignore without pulling the phone out... I recognize I could set up different ringtones to distinguish between callers. But due to the number of my contacts it's just not feasible...
Thanks!

As Allan mentioned, custom ringtones allow for this.
"9,999 Ringtones Uncensored" allows you to create any message which you then assign to a specific contact. Examples: "Hank is calling," "Hank Smith is calling," "It's your spouse," or whatever you like. The customization is nice, but creating one for each contact is tedious. I use this app, and created about a half dozen or so just for family and close friends. Others get generic tones assigned to them. This app also has a variety of voices to choose from such as funny, robotic, etc.
Bear in mind, in public anyone around you may hear who's calling also. "Mom's calling." Hope this helps.

    "Your options are:
    Get a trial account form @mac which will work as an iChat name after the 60 days run out but not be a email account that is valid (And is free)"
    Do you mean a trial account from .Mac? (DotMac)
    "Get an AIM Screen name and set it to Display what you want as you set it up.
    The Screen name can be whatever yu want but you can also set it to display something else as well."
    I had thought about this, but it seems other people have already chosen the screen name "pinksharkmark" and virtually every variation of it I can think of. So that isn't an option for me. As for getting it to display something else as well, do you mean that if I were to get an AIM screen name like "CromulentCat" I could somehow log in to iChat under the AIM account "CromulentCat" yet get iChat to represent me to my Buddies as "PinkSharkMark"? Because I have to admit I don't see how that can be done. It appears as if iChat displays to anyone chatting with you precisely the account name you logged in under and nothing else. So if you logged in using a .Mac account, then you are displayed as "[email protected]" while if you logged in under an AIM account, you are displayed as "CromulentCat". But that's it that's all... there is no way to change CromulentCat to PinkSharkMark.
    Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, though.

  • Getting the name of the program or the FM called from security audit log

    Dears,
    Is there a way to get the name of the ABAP program called through transaction SE38, or the FM called through transaction SE37, from the security audit log ?
    What is available is only : RSABAPPROGRAM for transaction SE38, and RSFUNCTIONBUILDER for transaction SE37
    Thanks.
    Reda

    I had always assumed this log to be in the SUBMIT statement, but never used it.
    If I remember correctly this is recorded it the runtime submit, so it should be there.
    Perhaps it is only in selected reports? I will check in my system.
    Please compare with sm20n and run the report from sa38. The submits are different in sa38 etc compared to se38.
    The FM will only be recorded it it has a destination extention in the source system which is mostly remote. Local fm calls are not recorded for sure.
    Cheers,
    Julius

  • N8 not showing the name of the contact calling

    Hi All,
    I have seen a strange issue with N8. I have never experienced this with any other Nokia phones that I have been using. Not sure if others have noticed it. Here is what I have experienced:
    At times, I have seen that when I receive a call from the person who is already added in my contact list, the phone is just displaying the number and not the name of the person. When I check the Log, it also displays the number and not the name of the person.
    Just so that someone might have a question, I have imported my contact list from my previous handset (Nokia N70) where it worked absolutely fine.
    If someone has experienced the same kind of issue, could you please explain me and help me resolve it. It is quite inconvenient to identify the caller without the name and decide whether to accept or reject during work hours and have at times missed some important calls due to that.
    Thanks,
    manishk1403

    Just so you know, guys, you're not the only ones with this issue. It suddenly popped up a week or so ago when I ran the PR 1.2 update OTA. And as to the comment about duplicate contacts, my phone used to show the name that was alphabetically first amongst the duplicates sharing the same number.
    Nokia, you've made one the best devices thus far in the N8, and I feel like I can say that because I've used Nokia devices since the 3310, and am a diehard fan in every respect. But the issues I've had on the N8 are totally unbelievable. I still use a 7610 and I find it more reliable than the N8. Also, it's surprising to see how caustic your support team replies are to genuine problems your users are having with their phones, which are UNDOUBTEDLY a result of improperly thought out firmware upgrades and plain lack of user-friendliness. Nokia seems very happy to place the blame on the user, that is, provided they reply in the first place. And as to the solution above, the one that the operator at Nokia support recommended, is just plain idiotic. What exactly is the point of OTA upgrades if one has to perform it by cable anyways? And resetting the phone? Do I have to do it everytime I install something on my phone? Is that the solution to every problem on this great device? I mean, come ON Nokia. I gave up an iPhone 4 for this. Please try not to make me, and millions of others who have done the same thing regret our decision. We're not asking you to perform rocket science on clay tableta or a feat of some improbable technological wonder. We're asking you for things that are ALREADY there for AGES on other phones, and a little bit of consideration that I feel we've all earned. I honestly didnt mean for this to turn into a rant, but this is truly the first time ever that I've had such a troublesome device from Nokia, and witnessed such scathing indifference to user troubles, despite being squarely at fault with respect to buggy and incomplete firmware.

  • On OS 5, the contacts with international format do not show the names when they call me. any idea why?

    I have updated my Iphone 4 software to OS5, and since then the names of the people who call me stopped to appear and only their number is showing. after checking, i found out that the contatcs whom local phone number is saved in an international format are affected by this problem. if i save them without the country code, then their names appear.
    Also, some non local numbers that are saved in the format of 00966--------- instead of +966 ------- are also not showing the name of my contact when they call me.
    any idea about this knowing that the older OS version didn't have an issue with this?
    Thanks

    This is the same problem I have.  I thought it was my phone only, but now I realize it is a common thing.  I hope they release a fix to this, as they did in 2007 & 2007 when 3G was released.  Will be waiting and good luck to us all.

  • What is the name of the table for finding user exit !

    What is the table name to find the user exit !

    Hi,
    Goto to the table tstc and enter the transaction code for
    which u want to find out the User-Exits. Check out the
    program name from the result. Goto SE38 and dee that
    program in display mode. Then search for the string Call
    Cutomer-Funtion. All the result of search are the user
    exits defined there for that transaction.
    SAP user exits (enhancement names that we see in SMOD transaction) are all stored in the table MODSAP. The field NAME contains the enhancement name and the field MEMBER contains the name of the function module that will be called if the customer enhancement exists and is active. The customer enhancement projects are stored in the table MODACT. There, the NAME field is the name of the project and MEMBER is the name of SAP enhancement (that from the MODSAP).
    So, if you are in some include, you can use where-used-list to get to the function module name. Then you find the SAP enhancement name from the MODSAP by supplying the function module. And finally, you find the customer enhancement projects by querying the MODACT with the SAP enhancement in the field MEMBER.
