    Hah. I wondered why I got notoified of the same recall message several
    times.

    I noticed that the Recall service wasn't calling me saying "you have a
    message" a couple of days ago. After much bs, Vodacom eventally told me
    that this hadn't worked since Monday, on-and-off.
    
    It's back today. You may want to check for old messages.

Does anyone know whether it is possible to get Caller ID to display the
NAME of the caller, rather than the number, on the new Panasonic GSM phones?

I other words, if the number is in the phone's memory, display the text
associated with it.

Cheers

    If the caller is in the memory on mine it displays the alpha text.

    How have you encoded the number in the memory?  I've just got
    "0374827592" (a real example) and it never shows me the name.

    *Most* (not all) will do a quick lookup and tell you the name *if* you
    have one associated wuth the number.

    But I DO have a name associated with the number - It is the only way I
    can tell who it belongs to :-)

    Paul, is your phone the Panasonic 350???
    
    I know that the Nokias work, and so does my Orange.
    
    Initially i though that it failed because i store all numbers with the
    +44 prefix (just in case i am abroad), but i added some "uk local"
    numbers and it still didn't work.

    Martin is certainly right that the software in some of the phones is
    not clever enough to cope with numbers entered with the international
    prefix.  Once you get rid of them mine works fine (a Nokia look alike).
    
    Have you verified that this Panasonic is capable of CLI?  Seemingly
    plenty of phones on the market can't do it (though according to "What
    Cellphone" all the current model Panasonic phones have CLI
    i.e.G350/400/500).
    

    Ref - a few
    
    Yes, mine is a Nokia and the numbers are stored without the +44.

    The Panasonics can do it, but seems like it's only for only for 
    BT numbers (I think). WHen my wife calls me from home the number is 
    displayed, though I've not (I'll check)
    noticed the text which I have programmed in ("My House"). When I get
    calls from other mobiles or DTNs all I get is "Incoming".

    Funny, I get "incoming" when my wife calls. :-)

Nice one Andy.
