12 telephone FAQs I pay for Caller ID, so why don t I receive Caller ID information on every call? Certain types of telephone equipment or phone calls are currently incompatible with Caller ID technology, e.g. automatic dialing systems, cell phones, etc. If my electricity goes out, will my phone go out, too? If your electricity goes out you will still be able to use your telephone service as long as you have a corded phone somewhere in your home. Corded phones do not require electricity to work and will continue to work through a power outage. Cordless phones require electricity to operate so if the power is out at your home, these phones will not work until power is restored. Will my phone work if Cable TV is out? WOW! uses advanced technology to deliver all of your services. To ensure reliability, these services function independently of each other so if one service is affected, it does not necessarily affect the other services. However, if there is an accident or storm that brings down part of our network, multiple services may be disrupted until our network is repaired. How do I set up my voic ?
