Caller ID when someone calls me their name or number doesn't come up, is there a setting i have to change in order to see the caller's name and number?

Show my caller ID"
Press Phone.
Press the menu icon.
Press Settings.
Press More settings.
Press Show my caller ID.
Press Show number to turn on caller identification.
Press Hide number to turn off caller identification.
Press the Home key to return to the home screen.

Do name/number display on any other phones on that line?

If that is your only phone, try borrowing another with working call display from a friend or neighbor. If another phone doesn't display caller info, call your phone company - most charge extra to provide caller number ( and in some cases, another extra to add the name). Even if the features are included in your rate, it's possible they weren't turned on correctly.

Your Panasonic may also have a setting to show name or number - depending on the display size, you may have to pick one or the other.

Finally, some phones do not support exactly the same caller ID info that the phone company sends - I have seen some which displayed number instead of names and no name, just because the two pieces of equipment did not agree on the standard. Try your Panasonic on someone else's line with working Caller ID.

Caller ID on landline phones relies on signals from the telephone service provider. Some companies charge extra if you wish to enable the service, others include it automatically, so you need to check with them first.

Even if you have caller ID enabled, callers can choose to withhold their number. Large companies which make lots of outgoing calls (especially cold callers) often have their service set to automatically withhold their number. In many countries, all other callers can choose to do so by prefixing all dialled numbers with a short code, e.g. in the UK it's 141. Mobile phone callers can usually alter a setting on their handset so that caller ID is withheld when making outgoing calls.

Telephone settings
Select Menu > Tools > Settings > Phone.
Select from the following:
• Call — Define general call settings.

Call settings
To display your phone number to the person you are
calling, select Call > Send my caller ID > Yes. To let
the network determine whether your caller ID is sent,
select Set by network.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. I think you have stored more than 100 Caller ID messages and hence the caller ID is not showing on Uniden Tru8888. In the following cases the caller ID will not be shown-

If you answer a call before the Caller ID message is received (for example, before the second ring), the Caller ID message will not appear.

When the call is received via a telephone company that does not offer Caller ID service, the caller’s phone number and name does not appear. (This includes some international calls.)

When the call is via a private branch exchange (PBX), the caller's phone number and name may not appear.

You may receive any one of the following messages:

When a private name is received; Private Name
When a private number is received; Private Number
When a unknown name is received; Unknown Name
When a unknown number is received; Unknown Number
When invalid data is received; Incomplete Data

The Caller ID list stores information for incoming calls - even unanswered calls. You can store up to 100 Caller ID messages and phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) for each handset and the base. You can view the Caller ID list through the handset or base during a call or when the phone is in standby mode.

Memory locations for Caller ID messages and Phonebook entries (including Speed Dials) are common, you can store up to all 100 entries for each handset and the base. Caller ID messages are not stored when you have 100 phonebook entries. When you have stored a total of 100 phonebook entries and Caller ID messages, the oldest Caller ID message is overwritten.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

let me give you an eg:

i stored an number 984802338 in my mobile with name jhon in my sim, when he calls me up it doesnt show the name.

It is because when he calls me, i observe the number it starts with +919848022338 so it is quite different from the number(9848022338)  you stored in the sim so you caller id doesnt show his name and shows as new user.

so 9848022338 is quite different from +919848022338(here +91 is country code)

First you need to verify if the caller id does that to all incoming calls, showing numbers only, or if it only does that to only numbers stored in directory. If it does that to all incoming calls then you need to check manual to see if there a setting to allow both name and number of all incoming calls. Either way you need to make sure caller id functions allows both name /number on display.

• If you answer the call, the number (or number and name) stays on the display until either you or the caller hangs up.
• If you do not answer the call, most display units keep a record of the calls received, including the phone number (or number and name), date, and time.
• If the letter P, priv, private, or a similar term appears, the caller may have blocked the display of his or her number.
• If the letter O, ????, out of area, or a similar message appears, the caller either is in an area that does not support Caller ID or has placed the call using operator assistance.
• Caller ID comes with Anonymous Call Rejection, which, when active, allows you to reject calls from callers who block their number. Your phone does not ring, and the caller hears a message saying blocked calls will not go through.
• To turn on Anonymous Call Rejection, press
  *77 on a touch-tone phone (or dial 1177 on a rotary phone)

• To turn off this service, press
  *87 on a touch-tone phone (or dial 1187 on a rotary phone)
