Abstract
Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a caller identification (ID) method and system that can provide caller ID information to display on devices other than the wireless equipment device that is receiving the phone call. This can include televisions and other streaming devices associated with the user receiving the phone call. The mobile wireless network associated with the user's wireless user equipment can determine whether the user has an additional device on which caller ID is to be displayed, and then identify a media server associated with the additional device. Once identified, the mobile wireless network can provide the media server with the caller ID information so that it can be displayed on the television or other streaming device.
