With Call/Caller ID and a Call/Caller ID box, you see the phone number of the person calling you after the first full ring. Both services are even better at screening calls than your answering machine because your ID box will record the time and phone numbers for calls, even when the caller doesn't leave a message. Best of all, the technology for the service is already engineered into the NYNEX network. You can keep on using the telephone you already have, but you will need to purchase a display unit separately.

Currently, Call/Caller ID only displays numbers for calls from within your Regional Calling Area. Both the person calling and the person being called must be in Call/Caller ID-equipped areas. For other numbers, the display unit will show an 'Out of Area' message.

This product/service is available in New York, Massachusetts and Maine. For more information, please call your local NYNEX business office.

Caller ID With Name -- NYNEX Caller ID With Name Service allows you to see the telephone number of an incoming call and the name associated with that number. Having a non-published number will not prevent your number/name from being displayed to Caller ID and Name customers.

After the first ring, the telephone number of the incoming call appears on the display box. Currently, although the calling number can be displayed for both in-state and out-of-state calls, the name can be displayed only for calls within the NYNEX serving area throughout New York State. (The display box must be capable of displaying both the name and number). Only calls made from telephone exchanges where Caller ID and Name Service is available will be identified. The name displayed is the name that appears in NYNEX customer listing records for the calling number. It is not necessarily the name of the person making the call.

All callers in areas where Caller ID and Name Service is available have the option of blocking and stopping the display of their phone number and name to Caller ID and Name subscribers by using NYNEX Per-Call Blocking Service or NYNEX All-Call Blocking Service. Calls from restricted numbers will show the word "Private" or the letter "P" on the display box.
