Calling Line Identification (CLI)
The Calling Line Identification service (sometimes known as Caller ID) shows the caller’s phone number when you receive a call (you have to order this service). If the caller’s name is stored in your phone book, the name is displayed instead of the number.
Showing Your Phone Number
If you subscribe to normally withhold your number when calling, you can show the number on a particular call.

If you have been unable to answer, the number of unanswered calls will be shown in the display, for example ‘ Calls: 2’, until you press CLR. To answer the calls, see “To dial the last 10 numbers dialled, received or missed” on page 19.
