calling name delivery

Allows you to view the calling directory name on incoming calls within FairPoint's system.

To Use Calling Name Delivery:

  1. When you receive a call, wait until your telephone completes the first ringing signal.

  2. The name and number associated with that number in telephone company records will automatically appear on your Caller ID display screen.

  3. If you choose to answer the call, the name and number will remain on the screen until you or the caller hangs up.

Note: Calling Number Delivery and a display telephone or an add-on display unit are required to use this feature.

If a letter "P" or "Private" appears on your display after the first ring, the caller may have blocked the display of their name and number by pressing *82 before placing the call. If "unknown name," "unknown number," "out of area," or "0" appears, the caller is in an area that does not support Caller ID.
