Noted: Verizon said today it is rolling out on-screen caller ID service to FiOS customers. The incoming caller ID will pop up on the corner of the TV screen, so customers don’t even have to bother looking down at their telephone to see who’s calling. Customers can keep watching TV while deciding whether to ignore the call.

The new FiOS feature is free to customers who have TV and voice service. It rolls out first in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Texas. The service will be coming to other markets in the future.  When it does become available, customers can go to the “Settings” category of their Interactive Media Guide main menu and click “Caller ID” to see if it’s available.

I’m surprised that FiOS didn’t already offer this since Time Warner, AT&T U-verse and others do.
