caller ID
Incoming number 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 your name on caller ID but couldn't pick up.
The feature lets people screen calls and avoid telemarketers or unknown numbers.
Caller ID can be blocked by the caller or spoofed to display false information.
