Caller Name Services

The Highest Quality from the Authoritative CNAM Source

We are the authoritative CNAM source. We simply provide more effective and efficient methods of accessing CNAM data because we don't use a legacy model. 

Legacy network CNAM services route CNAM queries to third-party databases, requiring service providers to pay differing query and transport rates and manage customer-support issues due to differing formats, coverage and accuracy.

Our revolutionary approach to delivering CNAM data from a repository allows benefits such as:

• Standardized display of caller names and numbers
• Pricing models that avoid costly per-query pricing
• Connectivity innovations including IP, SIP and ENUM that avoid costly transport

Today, TARGUSinfo provides its unique CNAM repository model to more than 180 customers, including cable, VoIP, ILECs, CLECs and wireless operators — fulfilling more than 32 billion CNAM queries per year.

Independent Firm Validates TARGUSinfo Coverage and Accuracy

The Paisley Group ― the industry’s leading DA/OS consulting company and benchmark publisher of database accuracy, customer fulfillment and customer care ― issued an independent study which found TARGUSinfo CNAM services to be superior to traditional network CNAM in coverage and accuracy of caller names delivered. 

Simplified CNAM Operations Lower Costs

Why continue to make CNAM hard and expensive? TARGUSinfo redefines the delivery of caller name information by providing a single point of connection to the nation’s largest data repository of caller names – over 420 million unique names linked to a verified address and phone number. 

Our innovative data-repository model revolutionized the traditional network CNAM market because it delivers technical simplicity with built-in cost savings for carriers.  The result? TARGUSinfo delivers more caller names, at a significantly lower cost than traditional network CNAM providers.

Unlock New Value in Your Bundled Services with Multimedia Caller ID

Now for the first time, you can support multiple devices from a single data source. So, from televisions to PDAs to wireless devices, you can consistently deliver the Caller ID service your customers expect ― without the outdated limitation of 15-character display.

TARGUSinfo has leveraged the same repository to deploy the first wireless CNAM services to unlock new revenue opportunities for mobile operators.
