These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service providers.
You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these features. If you do not
subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use your
i 5857 and the other features it
offers. 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/or
phone number from being sent.
