Depending on (a) how the incoming caller’s phone number is formatted
when received, and (b) whether or not you pre-programmed your local
area code into memory, you may need to adjust the format of the caller’s
phone number before dialing it back.
The format button lets you change the format of the displayed number.
Available formats include:
Number of digits Explanation Example
Eleven digits long distance code “1”
+ 3-digit area code
+ 7-digit telephone number. 1-317-888-8888
Ten digits 3-digit area code +
7-digit telephone number. 317-888-8888
Seven digits 7-digit telephone number. 888-8888
NOTE: If the phone company does not supply all ten digits of an incoming
caller’s number, you will not be allowed to adjust the format of that number.
