• and
• an interrogator for acquiring information associated with a caller identification transmitted within an incoming telephone call, the interrogator comprising:
• a receiving device configured to receive the incoming telephone call and to extract the caller identification from the incoming telephone call,
• an interrogating device configured to receive the extracted caller identification from the receiving device and to interrogate information associated with the caller identification from an external data base, which is configured to operate independently from the user voice communication device for which the incoming telephone call is intended for, and
• a forwarding device configured to receive and to forward the interrogated information, and
• a statistics module configured to gather statistics regarding telephone calls with the same caller identification and to forward the statistics;
• wherein the display device is configured to present the interrogated information forwarded by the interrogator when receiving the incoming telephone call.
