Caller ID
To view the dialing options
Although the caller ID history entries received typically have 10 digits (the
area code plus the seven-digit number), in some areas, you might need to dial
only the seven digits, or 1 plus the seven digits, or 1 plus the area code plus
the seven digits. You can follow the steps below to
change the number of digits that you dial from or
store in the directory:
Follow steps 1 and 2 in To review the caller ID
history on page 36 to find the entry.
Before dialing or saving the telephone number in
the directory, press # repeatedly to show different
dialing options for local and long distance numbers.
-OR-
Before dialing or saving the telephone number in
the directory, press 1 repeatedly if you need to add
or remove 1 in front of the telephone number.
NOTE: If you do not need to dial the area code for local calls, make sure to program your
home area code (see Home area code on page 14).
To dial a number from the caller ID history
While reviewing the caller ID history, press DIR or CID to
browse through the caller ID history and find the entry.
Press PHONE/FLASH or SPEAKER to dial the displayed
telephone number from the caller ID history (known as
Display Dial).
NOTES:
If the telephone number has more than 15 digits, only the last 15 digits
appear in the caller ID history. The telephone can still dial out all digits (up
to 24 digits) of that telephone number.
You might need to change how a caller ID number is dialed if the entry
does not appear in the correct format. Caller ID numbers might appear with an area code that
might not be necessary for local calls, or without a 1 that might be necessary for long distance
calls. For details, see To view the dialing options on this page.
