Wrong caller id city

Lubbock Independent School District (Lubbock ISD) has a new telephone number exchange (806-219-xxxx) which is used exclusively within the city limits of Lubbock, TX.

However, anytime an Apple iPhone is called from these numbers, the Apple customer is presented with inacurate information.

Apparently, the iPhone is translating the 806-219-xxxx number into Petersburg, TX which is absolutely incorrect.

Please tell me how to get this changed so that Lubbock, TX or Lubbock ISD is presented to the user.


Thanks in advance for your help!

I'm a Realtor and every time i call somebody they think I'm calling from another city 50 miles from my actual location. This factor has been hurting my business.


My phone number is 801-680-xxxx

I have confirmed that the NANPA database is correctly showing Salt Lake City, UT associated with 801-680. However, when I make calls my clients think I'm calling from Provo, UT - this is a large difference/error. NANPA reports Provo, UT has 140 exchanges but 801-680 is not one of them.


In conclusion, NANPA correctly shows Salt Lake City for 801-680 but somehow apple or the carriers have incorrectly listed this exchange with the wrong city name. I'm hoping Apple can fix this for me. AT&T says they can't fix it and the only thing i can do is change my phone number. I can't change my number because I'm in business and I've been advertising my current number since 2005. Countless calendars, magnets, web sites etc. have already been delivered.


I hope somebody from Apple sees this and cares as much as Terry does. Thank you Terry for helping us all.

Hoping you can still help. I work for a large company and whenever we dial out from our premise to an IPhone user, the incorrect city is being displayed.

We have 470-564-5000 through 7999, and 770-381-1000, the incorrect city is Stone Mountain, GA. The correct city should be Duluth, GA. Please keep me posted with any progress, we have been trying to figure this out for months now....Thanks!
