864976 2010-03-08 23:07:00 Get caller ID? Agent_24 (57)
864977 2010-03-08 23:11:00 Couldnt imagine life without caller id now if it comes up with private it does not get answered especially around tea time. About 10 years ago I did a phone questionaire it was about banking since then they must have my number as a soft target. prefect (6291)
864978 2010-03-08 23:39:00 It's Skype.

Does Caller ID on a Landline display more than just the number these days?

864979 2010-03-09 03:34:00 In the US, there are some telecoms with setups that allow you to transmit your name or business along with the number. Not here though. ubergeek85 (131)
864980 2010-03-09 04:01:00 Ah - thanks Geekster

Skype already displays the calling number for me - but if I don't recognise the number, I still have a choice to make: Answer or Decline.

Generally if it says Blocked or Private Number I decline - if the calling party isn't up-front enough to supply sufficient information for me to make an informed decision whether to answer or not, then I choose to NOT answer.

Bugger them. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

This applies to Skype, cell or landline.
