A Word About Caller ID - CID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name & phone number from being sent.
NOTE:
You must be in an area where CID service is available and you must subscribe to it to use this feature.
If you do not subscribe to the CID service, the phone will still operate normally except that the CID information is not received or displayed.
Receiving and Storing Calls

Only the last 7 digits of any number are displayed when dialing from CID memory.
