Call display

How does call display work?

Call display lets you see the number of every person who tries to reach you, even if you're already on a call.

How can that be useful?

Call display lets you save time and money! You only answer the calls you want to answer.

Does the name and the number of the person calling appear on the screen?

The name of the caller appears only if it is entered in your phone's contact list. If not, only the number appears.

Does call display work in the US or elsewhere in the world?

In the US, the number of the person trying to reach you appears most of the time. It appears rarely when abroad. If it is displayed, it is in international dialling mode, which lets you call back without having to redial the entire sequence.

Why don't certain numbers appear on the screen?

If certain numbers do not appear on the screen, check the following:

  1. Are you a subscriber of call display?
  2. Some numbers may be blocked: 1-800 numbers, private numbers, numbers blocked by the caller, calls made from a public phone, calls forwarded to your phone, etc.

After verifying the above, if the numbers still do not appear, contact customer service by dialling 611 from your wireless phone.

How can I occasionally block my own number from being displayed?

Dial #31#, your recipient's 10-digit number, then SEND.
