caller-ID
Incoming phone display
Caller-ID is a telephone service that displays the phone number and sometimes the name of an incoming caller before you answer: I saw his number on caller-ID and let it go to voicemail.
The technology emerged in the 1980s and became standard on landlines and mobile phones.
Also spelled caller ID.
