What is Call Display:

---

Call Display is a telephone company service. It provides the identification information of persons calling your telephone number. The Call Display information is supplied by the telephone company between the first and second ring as a series of special codes. The information includes the time and date of the call, the telephone number of the caller, and, in some areas, even caller's name.

fonXL Call Display Screen Saver uses this Call Display information to provide with detailed information on your incoming calls. Without Call Display from your telephone company the screen saver cannot determine the telephone number of incoming calls.
