Look Up Phone Number

Searches for the phone number of the selected caller on the internet, using the URL specified in General Options.  The search will open in your browser.  This requires internet access.  Note that many or most phone numbers will not be found.

Look Up Area Code

Searches for the area code of the selected caller on the internet, using the URL specified in General Options.  The search will open in your browser.  This requires internet access.  This may be useful if Look Up Phone Number could not find the phone number.

Dial Phone

Uses Window's dialer to dial the selected phone number.  This will probably fail if you have not configured your dialing settings in Windows.  To configure the dialing settings in Windows XP, open the Windows Control Panel.  If the right-hand pane of the Control Panel says "Pick a category", click on "Switch to Classic View" in the left pane.  Then double-click the "Phone and Modem Options" control panel.  Fill out the form and click OK.  Click OK again to close the control panel.  Other versions of Windows can be similarly configured.  If this option is disabled, then there is no phone number associated with the call, or dialing has failed once already.  If you configured Windows' dialing settings, restart Ascendis Caller ID so it will try dialing again.
