You must subscribe to your local telephone company’s “caller information and identification service,” commonly known as Caller ID. This application is similar to the Caller ID boxes available in many stores, but is available at a fraction of the cost. A lot of work went into the application, and hopefully you will agree that it is worth the nominal fee or more. The caller's name, number, date and time can be displayed as a single call or in a list of all calls. Mac CallerID should work in the United States, Canada and Sweden. Mac CallerID© REQUIRES THAT YOU ARE IN AN AREA WHERE CALLER ID IS AVAILABLE, YOU ARE A SUBSCRIBER AND HAVE A MODEM THAT SUPPORTS CALLER ID. What is Caller ID? Caller ID is a way for you to determine who is calling before you answer the phone. Between the first and second rings, the phone company sends information about who is calling. Not all the information is always available, many times the call might have originated from an area that does not support Caller ID. At other times the call may be blocked by the calling party. REQUIREMENTS • Desktop Macintosh • System 7 or greater • Modem with Caller ID support • Caller ID service must be provided by your local telephone company and you must subscribe to the service. Mac CallerID© - STANDARD FEATURES (UNREGISTERED VERSION) • Mac CallerID© displays the complete telephone number, name, area code, time and date of the call. • It can display a single call or a list of all calls. All available information will be displayed. Calls that have no data will not be displayed. • Calls with phone numbers can be dialed via the Macintosh speaker or through the modem. • The Mac CallerID© database can be read into ClarisWorks or another similar application to create an instant database of callers. • New calls will be displayed automatically, you will be notified by the flashing new call indicator in the top right hand corner of the window. Clicking any button or the new call indicator will stop the indicator from flashing. • Metro Dialing Option, this enables you to dial a number that requires an area code but does not need a 1 in front of the number. • Works in the United States, Sweden, Canada.
