HI, maybe a long shot, but I wonder if anyone has any clues to help with my problem.
Yesterday, I subscribed to Caller ID, and the guy at customer services said it might take up to 24 hours to get enabled.
Today it still seemed to be not working, so I called CS again and spoke to a very helpful Scottish lady who reckoned it WAS turned on and should be working.
My phone is actually an NTL-branded one, the NTL D4900. Quite old now, but it *is* on the list of phones that are compatible with NTL's caller ID system according to this topic from back in 2004.

According to what I've read in the manual, it should show the callers name on the handset display if the person calling is in the phone's own phone book, and if not, it should show the number.
But all I get on the display is the same word "Ext" that I've always had, meaning an external call.
I don't think I need to change any settings on the phone itself, it looks like it should just happen.... Unfortunately the manual is pretty badly written (there's a "baby sit" mode as well, but that doesn't get any mention in the instructions at all).
Does anyone have any ideas or clues?
Many thanks for listening!
