is there a way to use a ampersand (&) in my display name?
right now I know if I put it my phone stops working (can't dial our or receive calls). This has been reported by other users already.
I would like to put: "J&J Gionet"
thanks

Re: using ampersand (&) in the caller id?
This is a restriction with most caller id services (especially VOIP) and is not necessarily the service itself but the limitations of caller display on the far end. (handsets etc...)
