11. The method of claim 1 comprising:
receiving a call from the calling party.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the receiving of the call from the calling party comprises:
receiving the call at a telephone wire port of the device.
13. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
forwarding, by the device, the information and the additional information to a called party using a wireless communication protocol, wherein the forwarding is performed via a wireless access port.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the database comprises:
a calling name database.
15. A system, comprising:
a device configured to:
identify, by a device, information associated with a calling party when a name of the calling party is located in a database;
determine additional information exists for a called party device comprising an alert that identifies occurrence of an event associated with the called party device; and
provide the information associated with the calling party to a called party and additional information associated with a called party to a called party device when the additional information is an alert intended for the called party device, wherein the provided information and the additional information comprises a status associated with an existing order fulfilled by a service provider.
16. The system of claim 15 , comprising:
performing a lookup of the information associated with the calling party in the database, wherein the performing comprises at least one of:
send a query with the name of the calling party to the database;
send a query with a number of the called party to the database; and
return generic information when the information is not intended for the called party.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein one or more of the information and the additional information comprises at least one of:
an alert of an occurrence of an event;
information from a service provider; and
information of a situation from an emergency service provider.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the device is configured to:
receive a call from the calling party.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one database comprises:
a calling name database.
20. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when read by a processor cause the processor to perform:
identifying, by a device, information associated with a calling party when a name of the calling party is located in a database;
determining additional information exists for a called party device comprising an alert identifying occurrence of an event associated with the called party device;
providing, by the device, the information associated with the calling party and the additional information associated with the called party device; and
wherein the provided information and the additional information comprises a status associated with an existing order fulfilled by a service provider.
