- In my experience, the number of the forwarding call is displayed. I
- have my cellular phone set up to ring my home number if I do not
- answer in four rings. My home CID unit displays the "out of area"
- message that cellular (and out of area) callers show.

- {Moderator's Note: I think the catch here is the cellular carrier does
- not deal with the caller-id when a call arrives at the cell switch. I
- do not think it is 'true' call forwarding as the telco does it.
- Instead of the CO switch dealing with it internally and sending it
- along, the call is delivered to the cell company and they forward it.
- For instance, if you called me and my personal call diverter answered
- the line and patched you out to some other number, your call would be
- passed right along to the new outside destination, and the end
- recipient would get my number rather than yours because strictly
- speaking, I was placing the call to him and handing him your call
- rather than the CO merely diverting it. I think the cell carrier gets
- the incoming call and deals with it rather than the CO which feeds the
- cell carrier. That is the difference, and the cell carrier has no ID
- to give the CO for the outgoing call. Try it between two 'regular'
- lines with call forwarding and caller-id, then see whose number is
- shown. PAT]
