My Panasonic talking caller IDs says "Number available" even though the phone book has the number and a corresponding name. I live in India and for example if the number is 98450 99345 corresponding to a name say "papa" in the phone book, it just displays the number and says "Number available".
I have connected a FSK device in the line to the instrument which helps decode the incoming caller id so the instrument gets the number. If I remove the device, the telephone does not see any incoming number.
Can you help?

Hi,
I don't think the problem is the FSK vs. DTMF. The manual even states that the caller ID is generally received after the second ring. This is true in America. I lived in India for four months and I never ran into the problem there so... I just can't say how your provider sends the caller ID. It may be that the line is being interfered with. Do you have a DSL line attached to the same device. If so make sure that there is a filter between you phone and its connection.
I am assuming that you tested your line with the other equipment connected to the same location. You may want to reduce the problem to the simplest configuration by connecting directly to the line only no other equipment. If it works add the other equipment until the caller ID stops again. Then you know what is interfering. If you have a monitor set you could listen to the DTMF being sent make sure it is coming between the first and second ring. It is audible if it is there. If you are answering on the first ring you will not see caller ID you have to wait till after the second ring then you should see it, If BSNL is sending the same as American systems. Good luck Z

Caller ID in the USA uses the FSK standard. For the most part, caller ID in India uses DTMF (although I have heard of some FSK usage).
I am currently living in New Delhi and have an Airtel home phone line. My switch uses DTMF. I went to the Palika electronics bazaar (I aways use shop number 266 near gate 5, they seem to be a little kinder to foreigners as far as the "final price") and purchased an DTMF to FSK convertor. My US phones now show caller ID information, although using US number seperations ### - ### - ####. I paid R500 but you could probably get it for around R400 if you are willing to put in the time bargaining. It looks like they are also available on Indian Ebay.
Mine says UST001B. It looks like these are low volume items because they stuck the components into a box marked "DSL Splitter" It works to convert the caller ID as advertised.

US phones use Bellcore FSK caller id. India uses DTMF caller id. Buy a DTMF- FSK converter at a telecom shop.

hello, I came here by accident. Anyway. I would suggest buying a FSK to DTMF converter. It should cost about 30 euros. Or buying a phone which understands both protocols. i.e. Panasonic.
Good luck, Marcel, The Netherlands.

I have a Panasonic KX-TG 5673 cordless phone, and also have Caller ID through my phone service. The Caller ID service works fine on the Panasonic phone. For some incoming calls, the display is very generic - such as, "Pennsylvania call" followed by the phone number. I have stored names and phone numbers in the handset's phone book, and thought that when receiving a call from a number stored there, the phone would display the associated name from the handset's phone book rather than the generic information -- in other words, "Uncle Fred" rather than "Pennsylvania call" and then the phone number. Is it possible to program this phone to do this? If not, can I subscribe to a service or purchase hardware to do this with this model Panasonic phone? If not, are there other phones that will do what I want? Is this a standard capability that has a simple name I can use instead of using my long-winded explanation?
