Caller ID I set up caller ID w/ my phone company a couple days ago, but when I receive phone calls nothing comes up...How do I setup my phone so I can start seeing numbers come up when someone calls?

Caller ID comes from the telephone service company to phones that have that feature enabled. You have to phone your Telco first. It is normally a paid feature.

• Did you fully charge your phone? - Make sure you fully charge for 16-24 hours .
  
  
• Is the battery old? - Replace the battery.
  
  
• Is the electrical outlet switch turned on? - If you are using AC (electrical) power, make sure that the unit is connected to a non-switched electrical outlet.
  
  
• Are the connecting wires tight - Unplug the AC power converter from the unit and plug it back in.
  
  
• Do you have Caller ID service with your telephone company - In order to receive Caller ID records, you must subscribe to the standard name and number Caller ID service available through your local telephone company. If the Caller ID works for normal calls but not on Call waiting calls, then you must contact your phone company to get the combined CID/CW service.
  
  
• Caller ID shows up after second ring - Be sure to wait until the second ring before answering. Caller ID signals comes through after the first ring, if caller pick ups phone too soon Caller ID signal will not be transmitted to the handset.
  
  
• Confirm that caller ID is still working on that particular line by checking another phone on the same line - If Caller ID is not coming through contact your phone company provider.
  
  

If this does not fix your problem, contact your authorized Service Center.*

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

you need to go to the call settings on phone and adjust the call waiting there ok

Go onto the menu of the handset and set caller id to on.

just go in the settings of ur phone and then phone setting or in contact setting

try entering *82 then followed by the number u are calling, for example : the number ur whom to call is 123456789 then u'll enter *82123456789 try that and if that works. go to urprovider to have it unblocked coz u have a blocked phone caller id. and note ur phone number will be show if it is emergency call....

glad 2 help...

Go to your setting and make sure the ID caller is on.

I lost the talking caller id after a thunderstorm. Can you tell me how to program it? I don't have a maual.

thank you.

Caller ID indicator is probably a new call notification. You should be able to review the incoming calls list even if you do not have caller ID to stop the light from flashing.
