To use the caller ID announce feature, you must subscribe to caller ID service from your telephone service
provider.
This feature does not announce information for call waiting calls.
It takes at least two rings for the phone to receive caller ID information and announce it. If the phone is
answered before the end of the second ring, the phone won’t have time to announce the caller’s information.
Pronunciation of names may vary with this feature. Not all names may be pronounced correctly.
Caller ID announce is available in English only.
