USING CALLER ID

Omnipoint Caller ID service lets you know who’s calling before you answer. You won’t be interrupted by calls that you don’t want to take – and you’ll avoid missing any important calls.

When your phone rings, check your handset’s display screen. For most calls, you will see the caller’s number displayed on the screen. And when you’re using Call Waiting, you’ll also be able to see the number of the person who’s calling you – so you can decide whether you want to interrupt the call in progress.

When you see the caller’s telephone number displayed:

>Decide whether you want to answer the call. If you do, press F.

>If you decide not to answer the call, it will be forwarded automatically to your Omnipoint Voice Mailbox. (Note: your service has been preset to forward your unanswered calls to your Mailbox.)

Omnipoint Caller ID Features

While other telephone companies may offer basic Caller ID, Omnipoint customers have access to state-of-the-art features that go farther. These include:

•Enhanced Screening. Instead of forwarding unanswered calls to your Voice Mailbox, you can change your Call Forwarding settings to forward calls to a phone number of your choice. You can forward All Calls, or forward your calls differently for any of three conditions: On Busy, No Reply, and Unreachable. Example: if you’re out-of-reach, calls can automatically be forwarded to an assistant at your business telephone number. (See p. 47 for information on Call Forwarding.)

•Caller ID Name. Your handset may display the caller’s name if you have stored that person’s name and number in the memory of your Omnipoint handset or SIM Card.

•Call Waiting/Call Hold. If a call comes in while you’re already on a call, you’ll hear a Call Waiting tone and you may see the telephone number or name of the person who’s calling you (if the name is programmed in your handset’s memory). This information can help you decide whether or not to put a current call on hold and answer the new call.

•Handset Memory. Using Caller ID, your Omnipoint handset’s memory may store telephone numbers for calls that you have answered or missed. For quickly returning phone calls, these stored numbers can be easily retrieved. (See your Ericsson User’s Manual for instructions.)

•Distinctive Ringing. Using Caller ID, some Omnipoint handsets allow you to program distinctive rings for telephone numbers stored in your handset’s memory. (See your Ericsson User’s Manual for instructions.)

Blocking Outgoing Caller ID.

Unless you request otherwise, Omnipoint will pass your telephone number to a mobile or land-line phone with Caller ID when you place an outgoing call from your Omnipoint handset. But you can instruct that your phone number not be displayed on other Caller ID phones in all cases or on a call-by-call basis.

To block your outgoing Caller ID number on a per-call basis:

> Press A67, plus the number you are calling.
