How to set caller id in Alcatel Versitis C650 cordless phone

Buy a cordless phone that has caller ID and if you don't already have caller ID service you need to order it from your phone company.Most every new cordless phone has caller ID

go on settings and on call settings and caller id

check if you have a manual. from there search up in the manual caller id settings. you have turned off the caller id option.

I know it seems like an obvious thing but did you make sure that you have caller ID on the line from your telco provider?

there really shouldn't be anything to set up. if you have another caller id box or phone, try plugging that in to the phone jack first checking for dial tone, then the caller id. if neither are working, call your phone company. if only the caller id is still not working, ask your phone company if it is activated.
hope this helps.
