I realize this is somewhat removed from the topic of the newsgroup, but I searched for another group and found none specific to my question type. Since this group is filled with knowledgeable people in electronics, I thought I might find an answer.
I have several cordless phones in my home hooked to my single phone line. They are both different models by the same manufacturer (AT&T and GE), and of course different brands. My question is why does the data listed for Caller ID differ from phone to phone? One will list the name of the person while another might only list the town along with the phone number. I thought the data was supplied by the originating phone company and therefore would be the same for each phone.
Just curious. Thanks.
