These features require services provided by your local telephone company. Contact your telephone service provider if: · you have both caller ID and call waiting, but as separate services (you may need combined service), · you have only caller ID service, or only call waiting service, or · you currently do not have any caller ID or call waiting services. You can use this telephone with regular caller ID service, and you can use its other features without subscribing to either caller ID or combined caller ID with call waiting service. There may be fees for these services, and they may not be available in all areas. Caller ID features will work only if both you and the caller are in areas offering caller ID service, and if both telephone companies use compatible equipment.
