Caller ID Service
28
Using Caller ID service
Important:
L
This unit is Caller ID compatible. To
use Caller ID features, you must
subscribe to Caller ID service. Contact
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 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.
Caller ID features
When an outside call is being received,
the phone number is displayed.
Caller information for the last 50 callers
is logged in the caller list from the most
recent call to the oldest.
L
If the unit cannot receive caller
information, the following is displayed:
–
“
Out of area
”
: The caller dialled
from an area which does not
provide Caller ID service.
–
“
Private caller
”
: The caller
requested not to send caller
information.
L
If the unit is connected to a PBX
system, caller information may not be
received properly. Contact your PBX
supplier.
L
If the name display service is available
in your area, the display shows caller
names. For further information,
please contact your service
provider/telephone company.
Missed calls
If a call is not answered, the unit treats
the call as a missed call. The display
shows
“
Missed call
”
. This lets you
know if you should view the caller list to
see who called while you were away.
Phonebook name display
When caller information is received and
it matches a phone number stored in the
phonebook, the stored name in the
phonebook is displayed and logged in
the caller list.
Ringer ID
This feature can help you identify who is
calling by using different ringers for
different callers stored in the phonebook.
You can assign a different ringer to each
phonebook entry. When a call is
received from a caller stored in the
phonebook, the assigned ringer rings
after the caller information is displayed.
If you select
“
No Ringer ID
”
(default),
the handset uses the ringer tone you
selected on page 24 when a call is
received from that caller.
