The term Caller ID was coined by the BellSouth Product team headed by Ellis D. Hill that conducted the first market trial of this service and other "TouchStar" services in Orlando, FL beginning July 7, 1984. This market trial lasted 7 months, after which the results were analyzed and shared with the developer/vendor, Bell Labs/AT&T Network Systems (later renamed Lucent Technologies subsequently purchased in 2006 by Alcatel). Another market trial was conducted in Hudson County, NJ in 1987 by Bell Atlantic (later to become Verizon) followed by limited deployment. BellSouth began the first commercial application of Caller ID in December 1988 in Memphis, TN and was the first RBOC to have it fully deployed.
