About caller ID
This telephone has a Caller ID feature that works with caller identification service provided by your local telephone company. There is a fee for this service, and it may 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 companies use compatible equipment.
When you use this telephone with caller ID service, you can see who’s calling before you answer the call. If you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting, a combined service available through many local telephone companies, you can see who’s calling even when you are on another call. This service may be called by different names (such as caller ID with visual call waiting) by different local telephone companies and may not be available in all areas.
