Questions and answers
No se anuncian los números, todos marcan "número privado"
All calls on the VTech DS6161 may display as "private number" if the incoming calls have no caller ID information. This can happen when the caller has blocked their number or if the phone is set to block unknown calls, which causes calls without caller ID to be disconnected or not show full details.
