In addition, services may not be available in all areas.Caller ID information is available only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone service providers use compatible equipment.The caller ID information may not be available for every incoming call. The callers may intentionally block their names and/or telephone numbers.

96Caller IDCaller ID operationHow the caller ID history (call log) worksThe telephone stores caller ID information about the last 50 incoming calls in the telephone base. Entries are stored in reverse chronological order. The system deletes the oldest entry when the log is full to make room for new calls. This information is common to all handset(s) and the telephone base, so changes made using any handset are reflected in all other handsets. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it does not show in the caller ID history.NOTE: If the phone number has more than 24 digits, it will not be saved or shown in the call log.Missed calls indicatorThe handset and telephone base display XX Missed call(s) when they are in idle mode and have missed or new calls.All missed or new entries are counted as missed calls. Each time you review a call log entry with the icon NEW, the number of missed calls decreases by one.

105About the answering systemAnswering system and voicemailYour telephone has separate indicators for two different types of voice messages: those recorded on its built-in answering system and those recorded in your service provider’s voicemail (fees may apply). Your telephone’s built-in answering system messages and voicemail messages are separate. Each alerts you to new messages differently.If 1 or  2 and New voicemail display on the handsets or telephone base, your telephone service provider is indicating that it has new voicemail for you. To listen to your voicemail, you typically dial an access number provided by your telephone service provider, followed by a security code or PIN.Some service providers bundle or combine multiple services like voicemail and call waiting, so you may not be aware that you have voicemail. To check what services you have and how to access them, contact your telephone service provider.To use your voicemail service rather than your answering system, turn off your answering system. To use your answering system rather than your voicemail service, contact your telephone service provider to deactivate your voicemail service. You can also use your telephone answering system and voicemail together by setting your built-in answering system to answer before voicemail answers as described below. To learn how to program your voicemail settings, contact your telephone service provider. Then, if you are on a call, or if the answering system is busy recording a message and you receive another call, the second caller can leave a voicemail message.Set your answering system to answer calls at least two rings earlier than your voicemail is set to answer. For example, if your voicemail answers after six rings, set your answering system to answer after four rings. Some voicemail providers may program the delay before answering calls in seconds instead of rings. In this case, allow six seconds per ring when determining the appropriate setting.Answering system
