Calls List Setup Options

There are several configuration options available from the Caller ID Calls List screen.  

 

However, these options are visible only after your MailBug has received and displayed  
at least one incoming call record.  To get to these options from the 

c

allS

 screen, hold  

down the 

Ctrl

 key on the keyboard and press the 

S

etup

 key.  The options are as follows:

Number of digits for a local call

 – This specifies how many digits MailBug should 

use when dialing a phone number from the Caller ID Calls list and when that phone 
number is a local call for you.  The correct number of digits required to dial a local call 
is determined by your telephone company, and the possible choices are 7, 10, or 11 
digits.  To change this setting, press the space bar on the keyboard to toggle between 
the following choices:

 

n

If you can dial local calls by using 11 digits (1 + area code + number), then 
set it to 

11

.

 

n

If you cannot dial local calls this way, and local calls require you to dial an 
area code, but without the 1 in front, then set it to 

10

.

 

n

If you can dial local calls with only 7 digits, then choose the 

7

 setting.

Blink when new calls received?

 – The default option is 

Yes

.  To change this setting,  

place the cursor on this line and press the space bar on the keyboard to toggle  
between the following choices:

Y

eS

 – blink whenever new calls have been received since the last time you 

looked at the Calls List.

N

o

 – do not blink in response to calls (only blink for new email and/or new 

voicemail messages).

Remember blocked and unknown calls?

 – The default option is 

Yes

.  To  

change this setting, press the space bar on the keyboard to toggle between the 
following choices:

Y

eS

 – the Calls List will display all blocked and unknown calls.

N

o

 – the Calls List will not display blocked and unknown calls.

When you are finished, press the 

S

ave

 function key to save these changes, or press 

the 

c

aNcel

 key to discard them.

Your Name

The name you specify on this line will appear on all emails you send, in front of your 
email address on the 

From:

 line.  If you leave it blank, then only your email address 

will appear on that line.  It can be whatever name you prefer, and may contain upper 
and lower case characters as well as numbers and spaces.

Your Email Return Address

This is the address that will be used when someone replies to an email you sent.  
It can be the same email address as your MailBug, or it may be some other email 
address.  If this line is left blank, the default will be your MailBug address.

Time Zone

In order to specify the time an email message is sent or received, MailBug needs to  
know in which time zone you live.  To do this, type in the word from the list below that  
describes your location.

Enter:

If you live in:

Atlantic

Atlantic timezone

Eastern

Central

Central timezone

Mountain

Pacific

Connect Phone Number

This is the dial-up access number that MailBug will dial in order to send and receive  
email messages (not to be confused with the phone number at your home, which is  
different).  Landel has a large network of local telephone numbers in every state, and 
one or more of these phone numbers should be available to you as a local call.  If 
none of these numbers is local to you, then a toll-free number for your MailBug may 
be available.
