Caller ID???

[kharford]

Hi,
I am having problems with Caller ID on my Partner system. Before I put the system in I was receiving Caller ID from my phone company no problem. Now that I have installed the system I receive no Caller ID. I don't have a display phone yet, but I do have a wireless with Caller ID capability and I have a Caller ID box that is hooked up to one of my MLS phone sets. Reading the documentation it states that Caller ID should be passed throught the system without any problems unless there is a specific restriction on the extensions. Is that true?? And is their something I'm missing??


Thanks for the help!!

Caller ID only works on system display phones. Caller ID boxes and caller id capable phones do not work. Also make sure your cards are EC cards.

You could try running your main line through the call-id then into the system. If your cordless has an out port? Or you sit by the switch. Otherwise Don is right you have to have a display phone.
