CID-CALLER ID
Your VT 2960 cordless telephone is ca- pable of displaying the name and phone number of the calling party, before you answer the call. In addition, it will dis- play Caller ID information when you are on the phone and receive a Call Wait- ing signal. Subscription to CALLER ID and CALL WAITING ID (otherwise known as Type II Caller ID) through your local telephone service provider is re- quired to fully utilize this feature. The names of these services may vary from one provider to another.
If you subscribe to alphanumeric (name & number) Caller ID service, the calling party’s name and number (when available) will be displayed as the call comes in.
If you subscribe to numeric (number only) Caller ID service, the calling party’s phone number (when available) as the call comes in.
