Abstract
Caller identification information may be provided for a plurality of radiotelephone networks operated by a plurality of service providers. For example, a registry may be provided including a first serial number and a first identification other than the first serial number for a first radiotelephone registered for service with a first service provider operating a first radiotelephone network. The registry may also include a second serial number and a second identification other than the second serial number for a second radiotelephone registered for service with a second service provider operating a second radiotelephone network. A caller identification request may be accepted from the second radiotelephone network operated by the second service provider wherein the caller identification request includes the first serial number for the first radiotelephone. Responsive to accepting the caller identification request, a caller identification response may be provided to the second radiotelephone network wherein the caller identification response includes the first identification for the first radiotelephone.
