Caller ID Name and Number

This feature allows you to see the name and number of many incoming calls.*

When the letter "P" or the word "Private" appears on the screen, this indicates that the caller's phone number has been blocked. When phrases like "unknown name", "unknown number" or "unavailable" appear on the Caller ID device screen, this indicates that the incoming call is originating in an area that does not support Caller ID services.

How to use:

On an incoming call:
  1. On an incoming call, let the phone ring twice to allow the Caller ID unit to receive the information.
  2. The caller's name and number will appear on the display screen.
  3. If you choose to accept the call, pick up the handset. If you choose not to accept the call, no action is necessary.
When placing a call:
  1. When placing a call, to block delivery of Caller ID on a per call basis. Lift the handset and listen for dial tone.
  2. Press *67 (rotary users dial 1167).
  3. Listen for tone, which notifies the user that per call block is on.
  4. Dial the number desired.
* Before using this feature, users must subscribe to Caller ID and purchase a Caller ID electronic device.
