Using Caller ID service
Important:
R This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use
Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a
Caller ID service. Contact your phone
service provider for details.
R For all local and national incoming calls,
your display will show the area code (e.g.
09 for Auckland) or the mobile prefix (e.g.
027 for Telecom Mobile) followed by the
caller’s telephone number. An Auckland
caller’s number will be displayed as
09XXXXXXX. The seven X’s represent the
seven digits of the caller’s telephone
number. A caller from a 7-digit Telecom
Mobile number will be displayed as
027XXXXXXX. For incoming international
calls, your display may only show “0000”.
For business users on a Centrex line, your
display will show Centrex extension
numbers in the shorter extension number
format used within your company.
R The Caller ID information will not be
presented on incoming fax calls if Telecom
FaxAbility is used.
Using toll services from Telecom or
another company
Your telephone company may charge you for
a local call if the number dialled has the area
code prefix included. If this is unacceptable,
dial only the 7-digit local number. Do not dial
the “0” prefix or the area code.
