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.

Advantages of Caller ID

For Business

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidential information, can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.

At Home

Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.
