Caller ID

Hello,

How can I get the telephone number of the caller on my VB application. Also how can one detect wether the line is busy or not.
Thank you

There are several other posts on this on this site, however this is how I did it using MSCOMM. It works fine as long as you dont want to answer the call as a voice call.

You need to have your telecoms company turn CLI on for you, and then need to tell the modem to display it - by default it wont. One of these AT commands will probably do it...
AT#CID=1
AT#CID=2
AT%CCID=1
AT%CCID=2
AT+VCID=1
AT#CC1
AT*ID1
(The one you get OK to - test them in Hyperterminal). When the phone rings with Caller ID, it appears after the first RING from the modem, and will probably include time and date of the call too.
