Universal Caller ID

[rbecich]

Cannot get caller id to work on my Mac.  Called Comcast support three times and they are of no help.  They say they will escalate issue to higher level and somebody will call me, but no one ever does.

I'll contact the Comcast admin for a official word on if it will work on a Mac.

Have you tried somehow to install the caller ID application on your Mac?

Requirements for Having Universal Caller ID to PC on Your Computer

To have Universal Caller ID on your PC or Mac, you need Comcast High-Speed Internet service, Comcast Digital Voice service, and a PC or Mac that meets the minimum system requirements.

• 512 MB RAM (Recommended: 1 GB RAM)
• Supported Operating Systems
  • Windows 7
  • Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate or Enterprise (including 64 bit versions)

Mac OS X System Requirements

The Universal Caller ID to PC application is available here.

Be aware that installing the Caller ID app will also install Adobe Air. Your computer probably also has to be physically connected to the same modem that receives CDV service. In other words, I doubt this service would work over a wireless connection. You also must be signed in as your primary user ID for this service to function.

It installs just fine on my Mac, just doesn't show who is calling.

Does the caller ID work on your Comcast set top box?

Hi rbecich,

I looked into this and found that the code needed for that service was not on your account. There was a lack of follow-up from the folks responsible for this area and I apologize for this. I am working with my team to get this corrected. Provisioning the service to your account once the codes are successfully added usually takes 72 hours. I will circle back here once everything is wrapped up.

update: this has been taken care of and should be on the account.  Can you tell us what you're seeing?

[rbecich]

Got the issue resolved.  Talked to the Comcast installer for my building and he gave me the number of somebody at Comcast to call.  They said something had not been added to my system and they could add it remotely (had been told this same thing three times in the past).  This time it worked.

Thanks for you help.

Perfect - I actually asked one of our product engineers to have a look and get this taken care of for you (Joel). He just emailed me confirming the same. I'm glad to hear that everything worked out. Let me know if you need anything else.
