Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To
use Caller ID features, you must
subscribe to your service provider/
telephone company’s Caller ID
service.
For all local and national incoming calls,
your display will show the area code
(e.g. 09 for Auckland) or the cellular
prefix (e.g. 0274 for Telecom Cellular)
followed by the caller’s phone number.
An Auckland caller’s number will be
displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The 7 X’s
represent the 7 digits of the caller’s
phone number. A caller from a 6-digit
Telecom Cellular number will be
displayed as 0274XXXXXX. For
incoming international calls, your
display may only show “0000”. For
business users on a Centrex line, your
display will show Centrex extension
numbers in the shorter extension
number format used within your
company.
L
The Caller ID information is not
presented on incoming fax calls if
Telecom FaxAbility is used.
Using toll services from Telecom or
another company
Your service provider/telephone
company may charge you for a local call
if the number dialled has the area code
prefix included. If this is unacceptable,
dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not
dial the “0” prefix or the area code.
