Beyond.the.Basics
Using.Caller.ID.and.CIDCW.(Caller.ID.
on.Call.Waiting)
If you subscribe to Caller ID service from your telephone
company, your phone will show you the caller’s phone number
and name (if available) whenever a call comes in. If you subscribe
to both Caller ID and Call Waiting, the phone will show you the
name and number of any call that comes in while you are on the
line.
Caller ID information is stored for up to 50 incoming calls - even
unanswered calls. With Caller ID on Call Waiting (CIDCW), you
will hear a Call Waiting tone while you are on a call, to accept the
waiting call, press
FLASH
on the base or cordless handset (see
page 40). Additionally, you can dial a number stored in the Caller
ID list or save the information to one of your speed dial locations.
Today US telephone carriers only support the transmission of
15 characters for the Caller ID name; therefore, if someone calls
you with a name longer than 15 characters, it will be common
for it to be truncated to 15 characters only. Also, you may not
receive your caller ID information if you answer the call before the
second ring. when you receive a call from a PBX (Private Branch
eXchange), the caller’s phone number and name may not appear
or you may see a common phone number for that PBX system.
This is normal operation when receiving caller ID information
from a PBX.
