Abstract
A system and method for displaying phone number in the correct format on a personal communication system (PCS) device is disclosed. Since many devices which access PCS networks do not send identifying phone number information for the device in a format recognized by the network, oftentimes the phone numbers of the sending devices cannot be displayed on the PCS device. The present invention provides an algorithm engine which searches to determine whether the incoming phone number is in a format recognized by the network, and if not formats the phone number in the correct format for the PCS device for display thereon.
