We have had a Beocom 4 for around 3 years now. It is only since my Parents got one too, I have noticed ours does not show the number or I.D. of incoming calls. They one my parents have do. Looked through the manual and had a play with the settings, but it's still the same. Do all models or just some display caller I.D. for incoming calls? They both have the earlier shaped wheel BTW.

you'll probably have to pay a small fee (provider) for the caller-id service

Indeed, caller ID depends on the telephone network provider, I have it for free on my BC4 connected to a VOIP interface, but on typical France Telecom network, you'll hae to pay an extra fee for that.

Thanks for the replies, although I am pretty sure we both have the same provider. Let me check and report back, may even try my phone o their line.

Just checked and you do have to pay an extra charge to have caller I.D.

Software, old chap. Have your local dealer shove some more software into it.

I've encountered this anomaly a few times and by essentially reinstalling its operating system (for lack of a better term) all should be set to right.
