Beyond the Basics
Using Caller ID and Call Waiting
If you subscribe to Caller ID from your phone company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone number and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe to both Call Waiting and Caller ID, the phone also shows you the name and the number of any call that comes in while you are on the line.
• If you answer a call before the Caller ID message
NOTES is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message may not appear.
•When the call is received via a Telephone Company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name will not appear. (This includes some international calls.)
•When the Call is from a PBX (private branch exchange), the caller’s phone number and name may not appear, but you may see a main company phone number for that PBX appear.
•If your telephone provider supports
