You can review the log to find out who has called, return the call without dialing, or transfer the caller's name and number into your phonebook. When the log is full, the oldest entry is deleted to make room for new incoming call information. If you answer a call before the information appears on the screen, it will not be saved in your call log. Names of callers are displayed only if the information is provided by your local telephone company. If the telephone number of the person calling matches a number in your phonebook, the name shown on screen will match the name you entered into your phonebook.
