System, method, and computer program product for providing information associated with a remote geographic location of a called party

1. A communication device for providing information local to a called party located in a different geographic location, said communication device comprising:

a memory configured to store information associated with remote geographic locations;

an input/output unit configured to communicate over a communications network to download the information from a network node;

a processing unit in communication with said memory and input/output unit, and configured to execute instructions for performing operations comprising:

sending a request to a network device to determine a current location of a second communication device associated with an entered communication identifier,

receiving location information identifying the current location of the communication device associated with the entered communication identifier; and

presenting at least a portion of the information corresponding to the current location of the communication device associated with the entered communication identifier.

2. The communication device according to claim 1 , further comprising an electronic display configured to display the information.

3. The communication device according to claim 2 , wherein the operations further comprises accessing, on a communications network node, information associated with a user-entered telephone number identifier.

4. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprises bypassing the sending, receiving, and presenting steps in response to a determination that the entered communication identifier is “911”.

5. The communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprises storing the information associated with the remote geographic locations in said memory for presentation to a user.

6. The communication device according to claim 5 , wherein the operations further comprises updating the information in said memory on a periodic basis while the communication device is not in use.

7. The communication device according to claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprises deleting from said memory the information corresponding to a geographic location that has not been called the longest in response to a shortage of memory storage space.

8. A computer implemented method performed on a communication device for providing information local to a called party located in a different geographic location, said computer implemented method comprising:

receiving, at the communication device, a communication identifier;

sending a request to a network device to determine a current location of a second communication device associated with the communication identifier,

receiving location information identifying the current location of the communication device associated with the communication identifier; and

presenting at least a portion of the information corresponding to the current location of the communication device associated with the communication identifier.

9. The computer implemented method according to claim 8 further comprising accessing, on a communications network node, information associated with a user-entered telephone number identifier.

10. The computer implemented method according to claim 8 further comprising bypassing the sending, receiving, and presenting steps in response to a determination that the communication identifier is “911”.

11. The computer implemented method according to claim 8 further comprising storing the information associated with remote geographic locations in local memory of the communication device for presentation to a user.

12. The computer implemented method according to claim 11 further comprising updating the information in the local memory of the communication device on a periodic basis while the communication device is not in use.

13. The computer implemented method according to claim 12 further comprising deleting from the local memory of the communication device the information corresponding to a geographic location that has not been called the longest in response to a shortage of memory storage space.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions for providing information local to a called party located in a different geographic location, the computer executable instructions when executed causes one or more machines to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a first communication device, a communication identifier;

sending a request to a network device to determine a current location of a second communication device associated with the communication identifier,

receiving location information identifying the current location of the second communication device associated with the communication identifier; and

presenting at least a portion of the information corresponding to the current location of the second communication device associated with the communication identifier to a user of the first communication device.

15. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 wherein the operations further comprises accessing, on a communications network node, information associated with a user-entered telephone number identifier.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 wherein the operations further comprises bypassing the sending, receiving, and presenting steps in response to a determination that the communication identifier is “911”.

17. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 14 wherein the operations further comprises storing the information associated with remote geographic locations in local memory of the first communication device for presentation to the user.

18. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 17 wherein the operations further comprises updating the information in the local memory of the first communication device on a periodic basis while the first communication device is not in use.

19. The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 18 wherein the operations further comprises deleting from the local memory of the first communication device the information corresponding to a geographic location that has not been called the longest in response to a shortage of memory storage space.
