    Michael,

    Not right now, no. I'm afraid that's considered a more cosmetic feature, and we're working on improving the structure of the program before we work on areas like that. If you're worried about your phone number displaying an unusual area code, though, the new Whistle update allows participants to select their own area code.

    How do I aquire the update and can I change area code if I've already started my account?

    The update has been pushed out to Apple and should be available in a few days. And yes, you will be able to change your area code.

    Michael,

    I'm sorry, but I just received word from the engineering team that the area code update is being delayed. It's going to be pushed out separately in about a month or so; they've been focusing on CallPush and would prefer to stagger the releases so as not to overwhelm the users or possibly cause problems. Thanks for your patience.
