-
- I had my home phone (708-554-xxxx) forwarded to my work phone (708-979-
- xxxx) for a week or two whhile my answering machine was out of service,
- and observed the following behavior:
-
- If the call originated from the same exchange as my home phone (other
- 554 numbers) the orinator's phone number was displayed on the caller
- ID display of my work phone.
-
- If the call originated from other exchanges my home phone number was
- displayed for the forwarded call.
