When the call history is full, the oldest call information is deleted to make room for new incoming call information.

Names stored in memory will appear in your incoming Caller ID as stored in your memory. For example, if you store your parent’s telephone number with their name (“Mom and Dad”) in memory, the Caller ID display will show MOM AND DAD whenever you receive an incoming call from their stored phone number.
