When I first switched to Packet 8 (now 8x8) I found out that my automatic time set would suddenly shift to 3 hours difference. The problem became difficult to find, because it was only one of 3 lines on my phone system. I came to find out that it was because the first call on my system after 2AM set the system time, and if it wasn't on the 8x8 line, it didn't change the time.
A quick call to 8x8 and they gave me the password to log into the 8x8 box to set the time zone to Eastern time.
Check with your dial tone provider or their web site and see if you can do the same with your unit.

Even at its factory defaults your Siemens handset should be showing the caller id after the second ring. Look at your time and date on the phone, if they are not accurate then the caller id signal is not coming through since when activated caller id will not only give you the caller information, but it syncs with the telephone companys clock too. If I were there, I would take a phone that is known to have its caller id working and plug it in your line and see if caller id shows up on it. If it does show caller id, then there is something wrong with your Siemens base. If it does not, then your phone company dropped the ball and caller id is not activated. Then I would take the Siemens phone to another line (neighbor or friend) that has working caller id and plug my Siemens into it and see if it shows up. Doing all that will isolate your problem, I guarantee it.

Try deleting a few entries on your phonebook. One possible reason is that your phone book memory on this perticular unit is full and the same memory is used for CID display. Hope this will work!

Hopefully this will fix it for you.
