Advantages of Caller ID
For Business
All businesses profit from a quicker response
to customer calls. Businesses that provide
mail order services, money-lending services
or provide confidential information, can
protect themselves from false orders or
acceptance of false identification.
At Home
Residential customers can protect
themselves from unwanted calls.

How Does the Caller ID Work?

The Caller ID Appears on the Display
When Your Telephone Rings
As your telephone rings, the display shows
you the caller's phone number or name if
available. Once you answer the call, the
caller's ID disappears. You will see up to the
first 16 characters of the number and name if
available on the display.
Note
• If ID Unknown appears on the display, it
means that the call came from outside
your caller ID service area.
• If ID Withheld appears on the display, it
means the caller intentionally blocked the
transmission of his/her ID.
