A telecommunications system and method for either displaying the calling party name, if available, to the called subscriber at the time of call setup, or informing the called subscriber that a name query is being performed if the calling party name is not available at call setup. If the calling party name is not available at the time of setting up of the call, the call is setup with the display reading "Searching Name". This gives the option to the subscriber to either pick up the call without the name information, or to wait for the name information to arrive. If the name is found, it will be displayed as such; if not, the display will read "out-of-area" (or other similar message). Advantageously, embodiments of the present invention do not increase the call setup time, while at the same time, the called subscriber has the option to wait for the Calling Party Name query response.
