Caller Name and Caller Number Delivery

 

Caller ID Services

  • Caller Name Delivery* - Receive the incoming caller's name displayed on customer-provided equipment.
  • Caller Number Delivery* - Receive the incoming caller's number displayed on customer-provided equipment.
  • Caller Name and Number Delivery* - Receive both the incoming caller's name and number displayed on customer-provided equipment.
  • Call Waiting ID* - (Must have Caller Name and/or Number Delivery) Allows for the display of the name and/or number of a new caller when you are already on the phone.

* Caller ID Service allows you to see the date, time, and name and/or number of most direct-dialed local calls and some long distance calls before you answer the telephone. When you receive a call, Caller ID Service shows the caller's information on a special display unit. The display unit stores the name and/or number, as well as the date and time of the call even when you are out or unable or don't want to answer the telephone. You can easily review the stored numbers and return the calls as desired. The display unit also works with answering machines or voice mail - even if the caller does not leave a message. The display units are available from your Telephone Cooperative or various retail vendors.

There are some calls that Caller ID Service will not identify. These may include cellular, long-distance and operator assisted calls, as well as calls originating in areas where Caller ID service is not available.

Each time you make a call, your name and telephone number will automatically be sent to all Caller ID Service customers unless you choose that information from being sent.

It is important to understand that even if you have a non-published or unlisted number, your name and/or number will be automatically sent unless you choose to block it on a per-call or per-line basis. Per-call blocking will provide you with some flexibility on certain calls where you don't want to have your name and/or telephone number delivered to Caller ID Service customers.

Per-call blocking will prevent your name and/or number from appearing to Caller ID Service subscribers only on the calls that you choose to block. Calls blocked on a "per-call" basis will be displayed on the Caller ID Service unit as "anonymous" or "private."  Per-call blocking is free of charge and will automatically be available to all Cooperative members. There is no need to subscribe to Caller ID per-call blocking.

How to Activate:

  1. Dial *67 (for rotary, dial 1167) before placing your call.

  2. Listen for confirmation tones.

  3. Dial the number you wish to call.

  4. Once you hang up, Per-call blocking will automatically be deactivated.

Per-line blocking will automatically block your name and/or number on every call.  Every call placed will be displayed as "anonymous" or "private" on the Caller ID Service display unit.  If you subscribe to Per-line blocking, you may unblock your number on any call you choose, free of charge.

How to De-activate:

  1. Dial *82 (for rotary, dial 1182) before placing your call.

  2. Listen for confirmation tones.
