Per-Call BlockingTo prevent your telephone number from being displayed to the person receiving your call, press *67, then dial the number you’re calling as usual. The person you’ve called will not be able to see your number displayed on their telephone display screen. Instead a ‘P’ or ‘private’ will be displayed.

Caller ID Features
Caller ID and Caller Name
It’s easy to see who’s calling with Caller ID and Caller Name. Caller ID shows you the phone number, date, and time of the call on your display. Caller Name gives you these same features plus the name of the caller.
How Do I Use Caller ID and Caller Name? When you receive a call, wait for one complete ring. If you have Caller ID the telephone number will appear on your screen. If you have Caller Name, the telephone number and caller’s name will appear on your screen.
If you choose to answer the call, the caller’s information will remain on the screen until you or the caller hangs up.
If you choose not to answer the phone, the caller’s information will be saved in memory so you can see who called.
Note: If the letter ‘P’ or ‘private’ appears on your screen, the caller may have blocked the display of their number by pressing *67 before placing the call. If an ‘O’ or ‘out of area’ appears, the caller is in an area that does not support Caller ID service.
