MISC. QUESTIONS AND PROBLEMS
- Q: I receive Caller ID (number only) on my display, but it doesn't
always work. Sometimes I get no number, sometimes I get an off-the-wall
number. It just doesn't work consistently. The same thing happens with
voicemail.
- A: There are many forces at work here. Calls from residences can
have Caller ID blocked or the call can be placed from a second line.
Calls you receive from a business may be made using a pool of lines
used only for outbound calls, and the numbers of those lines may not
even be the same area code as the number you use to call them back.
Other companies may have thier phone system programmed to only send out
the main number for Caller ID with each call. Complicating this is the
fact that some phone companies don't communicate Caller ID to other
phone companies.
