[Electronics-Talk] caller ID box

Thu Feb 11 04:02:21 UTC 2016

Yes, the call waiting has to be activated by the phone company.  However, it 
is the caller ID box that is the issue here.  I used to have a caller ID 
that I got from Speak To Me, that would announce the name or number of the 
incoming calls even when I was on the phone.  When I heard the first call 
waiting tone, then I would hear the caller ID box announce the name or 
number of the caller.  If you had stored the names in the memory, it would 
announce the name, otherwise you would hear the number.  I am sorry I did 
not make that clearer in my previous message.

Pam, you are correct.  The feature has to be activated by the phone company.
