Caller Name ID Options

I would like to get Caller Name ID, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee of $2.99 .I went on The Play Store which offered a lot of free apps, but most of them have ads. I downloaded one app and uninstalled within 30 minutes. There were so many ads it made me dizzy. Many of the apps did not have good ratings either. How do I find a reliable app with no adds. I feel Caller Name ID is very necessary.

I'm not entirely clear how Caller ID apps from Google Play can provide full Caller ID to a smartphone.

Verizon Wireless normally sends just the originating telephone number. The called party's phone scans the contact list for a match. If a match is found the name appears along with the telephone number. Otherwise the phone number along with the name of the city & state is displayed.

If a subscriber pays for full Caller ID, Verizon Wireless queries the LIDB and passes along the found name associated with the caller's telephone number.

I would say that the most reliable way to get full Caller ID would be to go with the $2.99 option. I don't know if pop-up blocking "extensions" would be able to keep ads at bay. It may all boil down to the old saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
