Call Identification is a subscription service. Non-subscribers
to this service cannot receive call information. You must
subscribe to the service on both lines to get the service on
both lines.
The phone receives call information between the first and
second ring. If the caller hangs up or you answer before the
second ring, the phone may not receive Call Identification
information.

forwarded before completing the second ring.
