Don’t want to be disturbed? Waiting for that one important call? Know who is calling without picking up the receiver. When you receive a call, the name and number of the person calling you is shown on your Caller ID display screen. Plus, calls received when you aren’t home are saved for later access. How to Use: When you receive a call, wait until your telephone completes a second ringing signal. The telephone number calling you and the name associated with that number in the Dubois Telephone Exchange records-will automatically appear on your display screen. If you choose to answer the call, the name and number will remain on the screen until you or the caller hangs up.

If the letter "P" or "Private" appears on your display after the second ring, the caller may have blocked the display of their name and number by pressing *67 (or dialing 1167 on a rotary phone) before placing the call. You can choose whether or not to answer the call. If "unknown name", "unknown number", "out of area", or "0" appears, the caller is in an area that does not support Caller ID services.
By dialing a code before you place a call, you can prevent your phone number from appearing on the Caller ID display of the person receiving your call. How to use:
Note: You must dial *67 before each call you place. Otherwise, your phone number will be released to the person receiving your call.
