Been getting a lot of nuisance calls from abroad and a lot of personal accidents calls at the office and I can’t seem to find a phone online that clearly says it shows the caller ID.

Can anybody recommend a phone to buy that shows this?

A few phones come up when I google it but when I go on the link and read the description, it doesn’t say that it shows the callers number when receiving a call and I don’t want to order something, open it then see it doesn’t have this option.

Thanks in advance

Isn't it a service you have to pay for with your provider? My phone has the capability of displaying it but it doesn't as I didn't pay for it when choosing my phone and broadband options.
I think that might be it as the last phone I had was a new style Panasonic one.

Just crazy isn’t it, 2020, you can have your Corey cut off and have a vagina created for you, you can even grow tits but I can’t find out if I’m getting a call from a withheld number unless I pay extra for it

Edit - Bin Laden also uploaded videos from a cave in Afghanistan but I can’t find out who’s calling me

Re: Is there a code I can dial to include caller display?

IF it has been activated on your line, *234# turns it on, #234# turns it off and *#234# tells you the status.

If not activated you will hear "Sorry, the service requested is not available, thank you for calling."
It works with other providers to.... e.g. I'm on Sky for phone and the above codes work.
Thank you very much, you’ve saved me a lot of time
