hívóazonosítás

Hívóazonosítás, often translated as Caller ID, is a telephone service that allows a user to identify the originating number of an incoming call before answering. This service typically displays the calling party's telephone number on a screen, which can be integrated into the telephone handset itself or a separate device. In some cases, the caller's name may also be displayed if their number is present in the recipient's contact list or in a publicly available directory.

The implementation of hívóazonosítás involves the transmission of caller information from the originating network to the terminating network. This information is then passed to the subscriber's line and displayed to the user. The availability and specific functionalities of hívóazonosítás can vary depending on the telephone service provider and the country in which it is offered. Some services may offer features like call blocking based on caller ID or the ability to store incoming call logs.

While hívóazonosítás can be a useful tool for managing calls and deterring unwanted solicitations, privacy concerns have also been raised. Callers may choose to block their Caller ID, preventing their number from being displayed. Additionally, the potential for misuse, such as using Caller ID for stalking or harassment, has led to regulations in some jurisdictions. Despite these considerations, hívóazonosítás remains a widely adopted feature in modern telecommunications.
