Caller ID operation
Caller ID overview
About caller ID
This telephone has a caller ID feature that works with the caller identification service provided by your telephone service provider. There is a fee for this service, and it might not be available in all areas. This telephone can provide information only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller identification service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see who’s calling before you answer the call, even when you’re on another call.
You may need to change your telephone service to use this feature. Contact your telephone service provider if:
•You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service).
•You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
•You don’t subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services.
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use this telephone’s other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting services.
About home area code and local area codes
Always set your home area code, and if you need them, up to four local area codes (see Set home area code on page 16 and Set local area code on page 16). Entering these area codes changes how numbers are displayed in the call history and makes returning a call from the call history easier (see Returning a call on page 36).
