Silencing an incoming call, Caller ID

Silencing an incoming call

Note: To prevent accidental answering when the phone is in a pocket or purse, the phone will not answer the call if you press the key for longer than one second.

For information on setting your phone to answer incoming calls automatically, see ‘Automatic answer’ on page 39.

Caller ID

Caller ID is a network service that displays the phone number of the person calling you, if it is available. Check with your service provider for details.

If the caller can be identified, the phone displays the caller's phone number and calling. If the number matches a name saved in your phone book, the name is displayed instead.

However, if the last seven digits of the phone number match more than one name in the phone book, only the phone number is displayed.
