In countries like mine, you can know by looking at the first digit if a phone number is landline or mobile. But not in the north american continent.

    That's a good idea. Phone numbers mean almost nothing in
the US anymore. Anyone can get any area code, which is the
first 3 numbers. At this point I no longer pick up for "local"
calls because they're probably not local. If it doesn't show
the name of someone I know then I let the answering
machine get it. Unfortunately, most people with cellphones
have not registered for Caller ID, and I don't store numbers in
my phone. It's not worth the trouble to have speed dialing.
So I only recognize a small number of callers.

The registering for Caller ID is an NA feature, it doesn't exist in other countries. Here you only get the number. The names are local to your terminal.
