Caller ID Information
Summary: Caller ID is available on the UCI campus telephone system. Caller ID blocking is also available for a nominal set up fee.
UCI now has Caller ID on the campus telephone system. On campus phones that have an LCD display, the phone number of the calling party is now be displayed when off-campus calls are received. An outside caller may have Caller ID blocked on his/her telephone; in this case the word "public" or "private" will be displayed instead of the caller's telephone number.
NACS has completed the implementation of outgoing Caller ID as well. Previously, the originating phone number was provided to the remote party only for outgoing, off-campus calls in the local area. Now all outbound calls will pass along the caller's UCI telephone number.
Caller ID Blocking for individual campus extensions is available.
- Caller ID Blocking for outbound calls. With this blocking in place, the originating campus telephone number will not be provided to the remote party being called. Please note that our campus telephone system does not have a feature allowing you to "unblock" Caller ID for a specific call. The *82 or *67 features that Pacific Bell uses will not work in our campus telephone system.
- Caller ID Blocking for inbound calls. With this blocking in place, the telephone number of the remote party calling into the campus will not be displayed on the campus telephone receiving the call.
If you have questions or concerns about Caller ID, please contact NACS at 824-5123, or send e-mail to nacs@uci.edu.
