Caller ID

5

Caller ID is generally a subscriber service (calling party identification services
sometimes are provided at no extra charge with NI-1 BRI facilities), available from
your local exchange carrier or other telecommunications company, supported by
the system on analog loop-start or digital facilities. It enables you to screen
incoming calls so that you can identify the calling party’s number before you
answer the call.

Using Caller ID, you can also integrate the calling party information with various
applications that your business uses. For example, you can quickly identify the
caller, then access and display his or her account information from your computer
database while you are on the call.
