You must subscribe to Caller ID service to use this feature.

When the telephone rings, the Caller ID feature allows you to view the caller´s name and phone number on the display before you answer the phone. The handset displays the phone number of the incoming call, the name, and time. Additionally, you can dial the displayed number and store the information for memory dialing. Make sure you have turned on the Caller ID on Call Waiting feature. (See “Changing the Auto Talk and CIDCW” on Page 17.)
