How to detect phone caller ID:
Your application may use RS232 performer to detect phone caller ID. Add a RS232 performer to a page, set its Port and other properties to match your modem. The CallerIDCommand property must match your modem's command. If you lost your modem's manul, you may try some common commands such as
AT#CID=2
AT%CCID=1
AT+VCID=1
AT%CCID=2
AT#CC1
AT*ID1
one by one and execute WaitForCall action and watch for OK and ErrorResponse events. If you get two OK events then the command is correct. If you get one OK event and one ErrorResponse event then the command is not for your modem.
After executing WaitForCall, when a phone call is detected, RING event occurs. When a caller ID is detected, GotCallerID event occurs. The CallerID property is the caller ID detected. Your application may use GotCallerID event and CallerID property to do things according to your business logic.
