You need to have caller id activated on your phone line and it is a subscribed to feature and is not free. Contact your service provider for more information.

How do you get caller ID on your home phone?
Incoming calls: How to display and switch off caller ID

1. To display the caller's identity on your phone's call screen, dial *234#.
2. To check whether your phone is set to display the caller's identity, dial *#234#.
3. To hide the caller's identity on your phone's call screen, dial #234#.
4. Note:

Do name/number display on any other phones on that line?

If that is your only phone, try borrowing another with working call display from a friend or neighbor. If another phone doesn't display caller info, call your phone company - most charge extra to provide caller number ( and in some cases, another extra to add the name). Even if the features are included in your rate, it's possible they weren't turned on correctly.

Your Panasonic may also have a setting to show name or number - depending on the display size, you may have to pick one or the other.

Finally, some phones do not support exactly the same caller ID info that the phone company sends - I have seen some which displayed number instead of names and no name, just because the two pieces of equipment did not agree on the standard. Try your Panasonic on someone else's line with working Caller ID.

Caller ID

If you answer a call before the caller information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in the caller ID log. The caller ID log stores up to 50 entries.

Did you change carriers? A lot of the VoIP carriers like vonage and magic jack will only give you the telephone number on caller id, but not the name.

I have magic jack now and they call that "caller id", but having moved from a carrier that had name attachment i assumed all caller id's had name and phone number both...but not so

The radio does not have Caller ID in e sense a telephone has Caller ID. The radio is programmable for 99 different channels, and the channels can be named (aka alias) which will show on the screen either when you are on the specific channel, or if scan is activated it will display when the radio stops on a channel with activity. This could be mistaken for a sort of Caller ID.

Best regards.

This feature lets you know who is calling

without looking at the display.

To use this feature, you must:

- subscribe to a Caller ID service of

your service provider/telephone

company.

- turn this feature on (page 24).

When caller information is received, the

handsets and base unit announce the

caller's name or phone number received

from your service provider/telephone

company following every ring.

The unit announces in English only.

L Name pronunciation may vary. This

feature may not pronounce all names

correctly.

L Caller ID service has a limit of how

many characters can be displayed. If

the caller's name is too long, the

handset may not be able to display or

announce the entire name.

L The announcement is heard at the

same level as the ringer volume (page

16, 23).

L If you turn on the answering system

and set the number of rings "2

rings" (page 36), the unit does not

announce the caller information. If

"Toll saver" is selected and there

is a new message, the unit does not
announce the caller information.

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.


Thanks
