kurt Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Is it possible to create my own caller-ID device? perhaps display the caller number in an LCD, or maybe split the phone line into my laptop's modem, and have it displayed via software? I've been googling and asking around, but to no avail. Can anyone get me on the right track? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that you can only have caller ID if you order it from your phone company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wh1t3 and n3rdy Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I'm pretty sure you can't unless phone company turns it on. The nformation isn't even reaching your line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natural_orange Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 I had a phone program on my computer that displayed caller id information. And let you make calls and stuff.

And your laptop might not support it if its a few year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digip Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Not sure but I think there was an episode on bsodtv that went into this. They do a lot of phreaking stuff on the show and explaining about phone systems, so check their show notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
