Can iPhone 6 announce the name of incoming caller? Help!

I have an iPhone 6 Plus 64 GB.  Running iOS 8.0.2 (latest version at time of post).
Is there any way for me to change my incoming ringtone from "default" to "announce the incoming callers name".  Instead of an actual ring EX: "Incoming call from "dad" (contact name)"
I have looked through 3rd party apps and other forums.  This technology is archaic, so I am sure there must be some way that it can be done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

  • I am now in France, and my iphone will not audibly ring. I can set the volume. I can select a ring tone, and the test works fine. I can turn on/off the vibrate, but incoming calls only vibrate.

    My iPhone does not ring on any signals. The incoming calls only vibrate.

    What have you done to troubleshoot thus far?  Restart, reset, restore?

  • Hi Guys, suddenly I am not able to hear on my iphone 3GS whenever I receive a incoming call(it's very hard to hear wat the other people us saying)

    Hi Guys, suddenly I am not able to hear on my iphone 3GS whenever I receive a incoming call(it's very hard to hear wat the other people is saying)

    I had my GENIUS appointment today. They did a couple of tests by plugging my iPhone into a macbook and both came back without showing problem. However as the genius was working with my phone he ran into the same problem with 3G and I had taken some screen shots showing full signal strength but unable to make a call, failure to send mms, and internet unable to connect, so he switched out my phone for a new one as I am still under warranty for another 3 months.
    Make sure you backup your data and restore your phone as a new phone before going in to see a Genius, otherwise they may choose to try that process first and do some diagnotistic tests before being able to switch it out, and that can take up to 4 days.
    Best guess by the Genius was that it was a hardware problem with the internal cellular antenna. He also recommended I get a new (free) SIM card from AT&T which I did (kiosk was in same mall)
    So bottom line...if your 3G is messed up, make an appointment with Apple Genius. Thanks to all who tried to help, but mostly thank you apple Genius for great customer service.

  • 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!

  • How do I change the name I have called my MacBook Air so I can add 11" and 13" into the title of whose computer this is for more clarity when I set up Time Machine and save to it with both computers?  Both are named with "my name and MacBook Air"

    I'm still learning the whole Mac thing but these are great machines!  I purchased a MacBook Air 13" and then thought I should also get a MacBook Air 11" for travel.  When I set it up at the Apple store I told the assistant the exact same name for each machine, i.e., "my name and MacBook Air."  What I want to do is go back in and rename both of them adding the 11" and 13" designation to the name so that when I set up Time Machine or whatever else I know exactly which machine is what.  I'm sure it is very simple but I cannot seem to figure it out.  Help please. Thanks.

    Go to System Preferences - Sharing and change the computer name there. You can also, optionally, change the name of your hard drive to further clarify the origin of your backups. Click once on the "Macintosh HD" on your desktop, then click its name to allow you to edit it.

  • How can you find out if another VI running on the same computer and how can you find out the name of that VI?

    Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
    If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone? 

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

    I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6.  That's the latest version.
    Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them.  And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore.  Sorry about this.

  • Why can't I change the names of my states in my symbol?

    For some reason, Fireworks won't let me change the names of my states in my symbol.
    I double click on the state name in the states panel, and nothing happens.
    It works fine for normal "non-symbol" pages.
    Can you normally change the names of states in symbols?
    Any ideas why I am having difficulty doing so?

    Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article. 
    See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
    A million thank yous!!!!!

  • How can I turn off the beep my incoming callers hear when my phone is busy?

    How can I turn off the beep my incoming callers hear when my phone is busy?

        I appreciate your concern! This feature is unable to be removed. The only way an incoming caller would not hear this particular beep is if a ringback tone is active on the line.

  • Why can't I type the name of a group in mail 7

    I can no longer type the name of the group and Mail app 7 will auto fill all the addresses in the group. In order to group mail, I have to select addresses in the toolbar, click on the group, then command click on the individuals in the group and then click To:
    Distribution list doesn't seem to work anymore.

    I had a similar question but mine was more that I used to click on my group in the address book to select it and drag to the Bcc / cc field and now I can't seem to - but you helped by showing me an alternative - I am using OSX 10.9

  • Why can't I move the "name" column??

    This is a question that has been bothering me for a very long time. Why can't I move the "Name" column in the library (or playlist) view away from it's left position? It seems to be locked into place. I can move and arrange artist, album, time, bitrate, track #, etc etc etc to any configuration I so desire, but yet the name column remains eternally glued to the left side of that pane, never to be moved.
    The reason I ask, is because when I organize my music, I don't immediately think of track names, I think of artists. Especially in this day of cds I am hard pressed to recall individual song names. At home my albums and cds are filed by artist name, not by song name (physically impossible, obviously). It's a natural tree-like organization... artist->album->song name. I want to configure the library view in iTunes to match this same logical hiearchy but for some reason iTunes will not let me do this one extremly simple thing... argh and double argh!! Is there any reason for this? Is there any way to solve this?

    Chad hello,
    Everybody here has given you good advice so I will explain why the name column can not be moved...
    Your Music library is a data base and a data base has to have at least one totally unique index field for each file... now it can not be the Artist as you can have as many songs as you like by the same artist... same reason for the album, one album can have many songs but the same album name... same for genre etc.
    The only thing that can be unique is the song title... If you put the exact same song by the same artist the program will assign a unique name by adding a number in front of the extension for each duplicate .... example
    Song Name.mp3
    Song Name_1.mp3
    Song Name_2.mp3
    So when you think about it the song name is the only thing that is different... one album by the same Artist may have more than one track of exactly the same length, size, genre, composer etc. moving through all fields except the name....
    Now why can't you move the name column... well all the other fields do not have to be unique so you can move and/or remove these columns but if you could remove the name column you could end up with more than one entry in your library looking exactly the same.... you have to have something that allows you to separate them and that is the unique index field 'Song Name'....it could not work any other way..
    hope you can follow all that.... take care... TP
