Caller ID
This feature allows you to see the name and number of the person calling. A phone must have Caller ID capabilities.
How to use:
- When you receive a call, wait until your telephone completes the first
ringing signal.
The telephone number calling you – and the name associated with that number in
telephone company records – will automatically appear on your display screen.
- If you choose to answer the call, the name and number will remain on the screen until you or the caller hangs up.
Notes:
- Subscription to Calling Name and Number requires the lease or purchase of a display telephone or an add-on display unit.
- If the letter “P” or “Private” appears on your display after the first ring, the caller may have blocked the display of their name and number by pressing *67 (or dialing 1167 on a rotary phone) before placing the call. You can choose whether or not to answer the call.
- If “unknown name,” “unknown number,” “out of area,” or “0” appears, the caller is in an area that does not support Calling Number services.
