BT Featureline phone caller ID

[ipohead]

Found an old BT Featureline phone which works OK as an analogue phone but the caller ID doesn't work on an ordinary exchange line or an IPO 500 for the UK.

Just out of curiosity is there a caller ID setting on the IPO that it likely to work?

(for those overseas Featureline is a Centex system and best avoided).

There is a UK and a UK20 setting
all the way on the bottom so it may be the oldest junk they have or just because they go alphabetically

Many thanks Westi but that didn't work.

I don't think I'll spend any more time on this as changing the caller ID setting seems to need a complete restart of the system.

Incidentally if anyone comes across one of the phones, by default the buttons are programmed to issue star commands which may have unexpected results on an IP Office (look for SINET 297 if you really want to know).
