Thank Rob,

If you did add geographic info, what would it be base on? area code/NXX? How relevant would it be considering LNP?

It would be based on the number itself. Obviously with local number portability this is not super accurate, but we do have some customers that find the data useful nevertheless.

Are you guys going to implement it in the lookup, then?

I filed a support ticket the other day because I was curious, and this was the response I got:

``` Right now there are no plans to add this ability to this feature but I'm sure it's something we would look at as we go along. We really weren't sure this was a viable feature but enough people made noise so we developed it to help companies be more efficient when sending and calling the people they need to connect with. ```

Telesign also has the ability to return the billing name. Can you also provide that?
