Caller ID Service

Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To
use Caller ID features (such as
displaying caller phone numbers), you
must subscribe to Caller ID service.
Consult your service
provider/telephone company for
details.
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 telephone
number. An Auckland caller’s number
will be displayed as 09XXXXXXX. The
seven X’s represent the seven digits of
the caller’s telephone 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 will not be
presented on incoming fax calls if
Telecom FaxAbility is used.
Using toll services from Telecom or
another company
Your 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.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is received, the
caller’s phone number will be displayed.
L
Phone numbers of the last 50 callers
will be logged in the caller list.
L
While listening to a message recorded
by the answering system using the
handset, you can call back the caller
without having to dial the phone
number (KX-TG1855; page 27).
L
When caller information is received
and it matches a phone number
stored in the unit’s phonebook, the
stored name will be displayed and
logged in the caller list.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX
system, you may not receive the caller
information.
L
When the caller dialled from an area
which does not provide Caller ID
service,
“
Out of Area
”
will be
displayed.
L
When the caller requested not to send
caller information, either no
information or
“
Private Caller
”
will be displayed.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats
the call as a missed call. The number of
missed calls is shown on the display.
This lets you know if you should view the
caller list to see who called while you
were out.
