The VT 40-2421 system is capable of displaying the name and/or number of
the party calling before you answer the phone (Caller ID). It is also capable of
displaying Caller ID information in conjunction with a Call Waiting alert signal
(Call Waiting Caller ID). With Call Waiting Caller ID, the Caller ID data is
displayed so you can decide whether to answer the incoming call, or continue
with your current conversation. The VT 40-2421 system stores the last 50 calls
with name, number and time/date of each call received.
NOTES ABOUT CALLER ID & CALL WAITING CALLER ID
These are subscription services, provided by most regional telephone service
providers. You must subscribe to these services to get the benefits of these
features. If you do not subscribe to Caller ID services, you can still use your
VT 40-2421 system and the other features it offers. Due to regional incompatibilities,
Caller ID information may not be available for every call you receive. In addition,
the calling party may intentionally block their name and phone number from
being sent.
Some of the special Caller ID messages you may receive include:
