Caller ID

Set area code

You can set one home area code and four local area codes. If you dial seven

digits to make a local call (no area code required), enter your area code into

the telephone as the home area code. When you receive a call from within

your home area code, the caller ID history only displays the seven digits of

the telephone number.

If you dial 10 digits to make calls to areas outside your home area code, then

set local area codes into the telephone. After setting, if you receive a call

from one of these local area codes, the screen displays the 10 digits of the

telephone number.

To set the area codes:

Press MENU/SELECT in idle mode to enter the main menu.
Press CIDq or DIRp to scroll to >Caller ID log, then

press MENU/SELECT.

Press CIDq or DIRp to scroll to >Set area code, then

press MENU/SELECT.

Press CIDq or DIRp to scroll to Home area code or
Local area (1 - 4), then press MENU/SELECT.

Use the dialing keys to enter a three-digit area code.

I'm unclear about compatibility of phone models with using AT&T Fiber optic conversion from landline. Two options for Disabled are CL4940 which is analog phone (?) and if I'm understanding correctly, needs a DSL Filter from the provider (AT&T) And Clarity Auto Plus which does not require the DSL Filter. The price difference is huge - both are listed on AT&T store sites. Please Help me understand which is recommended and why.
