Sorry, I can't answer that.  I set them up several years ago with some
sighted assistance, and I don't remember if they just worked that way

Also, your phone company needs to provide you with the extra
information. This is sometimes an extra service called things like
"extended caller ID"

Good Luck,

Jim
