Caller ID

Caller ID is another classic cellphone feature. It's the one that displays the phone number of the incoming call (and sometimes the name of the caller).

The only thing worth noting about the iPhone's own implementation of Caller ID is that you can prevent your number from appearing when you call other people's phones. From the Home screen, tap Settings→Phone→Show MyCaller ID, and then tap the On/Off switch.
