This section describes how to enable and use Caller ID privacy features. 

By default, the VCX system shows your Caller ID (your name and 
extension) on the Display Panel of the telephone receiving your call if that 
telephone supports Caller ID. You can control whether the VCX system 
sends your Caller ID when you make a call. You can choose one of the 
following settings:

■

Select one of the following settings for all your calls:

■

Send Caller ID information (Anonymous Now is disabled).

■

Block Caller ID information (Anonymous Now is enabled).

■

Block Caller ID information for your next call. This setting only applies 
when the setting for all calls is set to Send Caller ID information. You 
must enter the destination number to call.You can control these 
settings by entering the appropriate feature code. 

Anonymous Now— When enabled, the system blocks your Caller ID to 
all dialed numbers and Anonymous displays on the destination phone.

Anonymous Next — When enabled, the system restricts Called ID 
information from displaying only on the next call that you make. This 
setting only applies when Anonymous Now is disabled, or the setting for 
all calls is set to Send Caller ID information.

If you disable Caller ID, the system sends your Caller ID to all dialed 
numbers.

To toggle the current default setting, press Feature + 889. If Caller ID is 
enabled, entering this command disables it for all subsequent calls. If 
Caller ID is disabled, entering this command enables it for all subsequent 
calls.

If transmission of Caller ID information is enabled and you want to block 
your Caller ID for the next call only:

1 Pick up the handset.

2 Press Feature + 890.

3 Dial the number. Your ID is not delivered to the caller.
