with your telephone company.
The name of this service may
vary depending on your
telephone company.

Important notes
The caller's name or phone number will not be displayed in the following cases:
• The call is made through a telephone company which does not offer Caller ID service (including
international calls). In this case, "OUT OF AREA" will be displayed.
• If the call was "blocked". For privacy reasons, many states allow callers the option to prevent his or
her telephone data from being displayed on the other party's Caller ID display. If you receive a call
which was "blocked" in this way, "PRIVATE" will be shown on the display.
• If the call is from an office which uses multiple lines, the phone number displayed may not match the
number you use to call the extension.
