Caller ID with Name
- When Your Phone Rings,
you may see one of the following four messages on your display unit:
1.
The
telephone number and name - Most display devices also show the time and
date. (Name delivery is not available in
certain areas.)
2.
"Out
of Area" - This call is from an area that does not have Caller ID
technology. Or the call is being switched through machinery not equipped with
Caller ID technology.
3.
"Private",
"Blocked" or "Anonymous" - The caller is blocking Caller
ID.
4.
"E"
or "Error" - The display unit or telephone cannot identify the
caller's phone number. If you get this message quite often, contact customer
service.
- Note: The Caller ID unit must be purchased
separately. Display message may vary depending on the display unit's
manufacturer.
