E) CALLER ID
W hat is Caller ID ?
Caller ID is a telephone service that allows the subscriber to see a display of the
caller’s phone number (or name in certain states) as the telephone rings. It is a fast
way to screen your calls. You can respond quickly to calls you missed, because Caller
IDs are received and stored in your MFC’s memory.
NOTICE
To get the Caller ID Service; apply for the Caller ID service at your local
telephone company.
The type of service varies from state to state and is determined by your
telephone company. Your particular service may display only the caller’s
phone number or the caller’s number and/or name.

All businesses profit from a quicker response to customer calls. Businesses that
provide mail order services, money-lending services or provide confidentiM information,
can protect themselves from false orders or acceptance of false identification.
At Home
Residential customers can protect themselves from unwanted calls.
