Caller ID (Caller IDentification) (not available in certain area)

Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the caller's phone number as the telephone ring. It is a fast way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because caller IDs are received and stored in your fax machine memory. Besides the standard Caller ID feature, you can also choose a single caller's phone number and call back.
