Caller ID

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s phone number or name as the telephone rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller IDs are received and stored in your machine memory.

Note

To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the Caller ID service at your local telephone company, if available.
