CALLER ID
Your VT 1421 cordless phone is capable of displaying the name and/ or phone number of the person calling, before you answer the phone. Subscription to Caller ID service through your local telephone company is required to utilize this feature.
If you subscribe to alphanumeric (name and number) Caller ID service, the calling party’s name and phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.
If you subscribe to numeric (number only) Caller ID service, the calling party’s phone number (when available) will be displayed on the handset screen while the phone is ringing.
Call Waiting Caller ID (Type II)
Your VT 1421 cordless phone is also capable of displaying Caller ID information in connection with a Call Waiting signal. If you are on a call, and receive a Call Waiting alert signal, the handset will display the name and/or number (when available) of the party trying to reach you. As above, subscription to Call Waiting ID service through your local phone company is required in order to utilize this feature.
A Word About Caller ID
Due to regional incompatibilities, Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition, the calling party may intentionally block their name and phone number from being sent.
NOTE:
You must be in an area where Caller ID service is available and you must subscribe to it to use this feature.
If you do not subscribe to Caller ID service, the phone will still operate normally, except that the Caller ID information is not received or displayed.
Receiving And Storing Calls
This unit receives and displays all Caller ID information: the caller’s telephone number, the caller’s name and the exact date and time of the call (as provided by the local telephone company).
The phone sequentially numbers these call records and retains them in memory for later review. The unit can store up to 50 numbers in memory.
Once Caller ID memory is full, any new call forces a deletion of the oldest call record.
New Call Counter
The VT 1421 keeps track of new Caller ID records. For example:
The above display indicates that three new Caller ID records have been received since you last reviewed your Caller ID memory.
