My caller ID features are not working properly.
Caller ID is a subscription service. You must subscribe to this service from your
telephone service provider for this feature to work on your telephone.
The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.
Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use equipment compatible
with the caller ID service.
The caller ID information shows after the first or second ring.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through
your telephone line, you must install a DSL filter between the telephone line cord and
the telephone wall jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by DSL
interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more information about DSL filters.
The telephone does not receive caller ID or the telephone does not show caller ID
during call waiting.
Make sure you subscribe to caller ID with call waiting features provided by your
telephone service provider.
The caller may not be calling from an area which supports caller ID.
Both your and your caller’s telephone service providers must use equipment compatible
with caller ID service.
If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (digital subscriber line - DSL) through

Caller ID entries do not match the numbers I need to dial.
Caller ID service delivers 10 digits (the area code plus the seven-digit number). If
you need to dial something other 10 digits, see View dialing options on page 49 for
instructions on changing the number.
If you dial seven digits for local calls, you may want to use the home area code feature
(page 23).
