About caller ID
You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service or combined caller
ID with call waiting. You can use the telephone’s other features without
subscribing to caller ID services. There might be fees for caller ID services and
these services might not be available in all areas.
Depending on your service, you might see the caller’s number or the caller’s
name and number. The time and date are sent by the telephone company
along with the call information.
This product can provide caller ID information only if both you and the caller
are in areas offering caller ID service and if both telephone companies use
compatible equipment.
Caller ID with call waiting lets you see the name and telephone number of the
caller before answering the telephone, even while on another call.
It might be necessary to change your telephone service to use caller ID with
call waiting features.
Contact your telephone company if:
• You have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you
might need combined service).
• You have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service.
• You do not subscribe to any caller ID or call waiting services, but wish to
order them.
