How to display the caller's location (CallData)
CallData is a handy app that will tell you the location of PSTN (landline). An example would loook like

(03) 9XXX XXXX
Batman, VIC, Australia

For me, this would normally indicate a call from work.
I thought this was a simple, go to the installer and install type of an app, but turns out took me a while to figure this out. Hopefully you'll get an error free process, but in case you get the same errors that I got, then you should be able to get it working.

Current firmware for me is 1.1.4

1. Go to Installer.app and find the folder RiP Dev
2. Install Mobile Enhancer
3. Reboot

Now this is where I had issues. Try this first.
4. Install CallData from RiP Dev
5. Installed CallData: Australia from CallData

If you succeed without errors, then you should see the data come through. The error that I received was when trying to install CallData from RipDev. What you do at this point is to reverse the step 5 and 4.

After both succeed, reboot your iPhone and do a test from your landline. You should see the exchange details for your landline appear.

No it does not currently work for 2.0 and 2.0.1. They stopped developing it further a fair while ago.

Yeah I know, I loved this feature on a few of my 1st Gen iPhones.
