My cell provider absolutely has my name. And the continued existence of phone books demonstrates that there's still a database of businesses and their phone numbers.
Google has this information, too: I can type the name of just about any local business into their web search or maps product and be given their phone number.
Apple has it too: I can launch Apple Maps on my iPhone, and it knows all the phone numbers of local businesses. I believe they get this information from Yelp.
> The cell providers don't [...] send the information with the call like your landline phone company does.
Exactly. Why not?
