I googled the problem and found this thread-->Unknown caller ID
The last person (Yameen1) said "I just had this issue on a q9c that I picked up about 2 wks ago. One phone call to Verizon fixed it. The first person I spoke to thought that all the settings on the account were fine, but when I spoke to the "Tier 2" technician, they apparently had not flicked the switch to reveal the identities of the incoming callers. One quick flick of the switch on Verizon's end and it was fixed. Ask to speak to a "Tier 2" or "2nd tier" technician."
My Droid would display the name if the incoming caller was in my contacts. I just got the Incredible and it will not show the name. I can get it to display the name if I add the area code to the phone numbers in my contacts list.
Update - I emailed Verizon and a tech called me back. He said on the Incredible I would have to enter the area code and the phone number for all contacts. I entered the area code for all my local contacts and now the caller ID picks up the names from the contact list. And I can call out OK using the area code for local calls.
Thanks
