Gives You More Features Than Any Answering Machine

Caller ID

Lets you know who's calling
Caller ID allows you to see the telephone number of the person who is calling before you answer the phone. While the phone is ringing, the caller's telephone number and date of the call will appear on a display unit that attaches to, or is a part of, your telephone. But remember, the caller must be calling from an equipped area for Caller ID to work.

Screen and Prioritize Your Calls
Because you will know the phone number of the caller before you say hello, you can decide if you want to take the call or not. That means no more unwanted calls.

Stores Caller Information
Caller ID stores the phone number and date of call for all calls coming from equipped areas. This information is then at your finger tips when you need it.
Let's you reject anonymous calls
Caller ID has a special feature that allows you to reject any call generating from an equipped area that has a privacy feature that prevents the callers number from being displayed. Not only can you block such calls, the caller will hear an announcement informing them that you "will not accept calls form callers who do not allow delivery of their phone number."
No Codes to turn OFF or ON
Caller ID works automatically. Once you have subscribed to it, there are no codes to turn the service on or off. More Features Give You More Control
