Caller ID
(Caller IDentification)
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows
the subscriber to see a display of the caller’s
phone number or name as the telephone
rings. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You
can respond quickly to calls you missed,
because Caller IDs are received and stored in
your machine memory.
Note
To get the Caller ID Service: apply for the
Caller ID service at your local telephone
company, if available.
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.
