How caller ID works

If you subscribe to caller ID service provided by your telephone service
provider, information about each caller is displayed between the first and
second ring.
The call is missed
and unreviewed.
Repeat call
The time and date of the call, the caller's name and telephone number are
included on the screen if they were sent by the caller's telephone service
provider. Due to regional service differences, the caller ID information
might not be available for every incoming call. In addition, the callers might
intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers. Other messages
might appear on the screen. Refer to Caller ID messages on page 37 for
more information.
Caller ID information appears on the screen as long as the telephone rings, for
30 seconds after the caller hangs up, or after the call is answered at another
telephone on the same line.
If you select COMBINED in REPEATED CALLS (see Feature summary on
page 13) and a caller has called more than once, the REP icon appears with
the caller ID entry.
