Over the Christmas break, NACS implemented incoming Caller ID on the campus telephone system. On campus phones that have an LCD display, the phone number of the calling party will now be displayed when off-campus calls are received. An outside caller may have Caller ID blocked on his/her telephone; in this case the word “public” or “private” will be displayed instead of the caller’s telephone number.

NACS has completed the implementation of outgoing Caller ID as well. Previously, the originating phone number was provided to the remote party only for a subset of outgoing, off-campus calls in the local area. Now all outbound calls will pass along the caller’s UCI telephone number.

To request Caller ID blocking, please submit a NACS Service Request Form available at http://www.nacs.uci.edu/communication/telephone.html. The fee is $10 to block Caller ID on 1-3 phones. This fee will be waived for requests received by NACS before March 1, 2002.

If you have questions or concerns about Caller ID, please contact NACS at extension 4-5123, or send e-mail to nacs@uci.edu
