My daughter wants a new DCT phone and would like caller
identification. Been reading up and it appears that many types of
calls do not display the caller. Is this a fact?

Do they only display names where the number and name has been
programmed in (like with a mobile?) or do they display all numbers?

Is it reliable?

My cordless phones display all UK landline and mobile numbers unless
they're withheld. If a caller from foreignland is trying to scam me/get me
to buy a mobile phone it says "out of area".

You're lucky.

Most networks are incapable of telling the difference
between "customer withheld" and "lost somewhere
by the network".
