Calling Number Display
Calling Number Display (CND) means that when you make a call, your number will be sent to the phone of the
person you are calling.
If they have a display phone they will be able to see your number. If they don’t have a display phone, they can
tell you were the last caller by using a call return feature.
Optus Local CND is automatically blocked. However, you can choose to unblock CND and to send your phone
number. This means that when you make calls, friends and family instantly know it’s you. Or if they are on
another call, they can see you are trying to get through and can call you back.
Note: Your number will be automatically sent when a call is placed to an Emergency Service Number. This is
regardless of your CND status.
