Call Display Trouble Shooting
|
Calling Number Out of Service |
This can happen when long-distance callers use certain long-distance carriers. These carriers route calls through a variety of systems and boxes and, as a result, the number that pops up on your screen is not the correct number. Unfortunately, there's nothing that can be done about this. If the long-distance call is dialed directly, it will be displayed correctly. |
|
Private or Anonymous Number |
The caller has used Per Call Blocking or Automatic Blocking to block the display of their name and number. |
|
Out of Area |
The region your caller is dialing from may not support Call Display service. |
|
Unknown |
The phone service your caller is using or the area they are calling from does not support Call Display service. |
|
Private Name with Number Displayed |
The caller may have an unpublished number or may have requested the blocking of their name. |
