Important Note: When a new call comes in, you must let your phone ring at

received in the call log. It keeps track of all calls received, whether they were
answered or not. The oldest call in the call log is always call #1. The highest
numbered call (or call #99 if the call log is full) is always the most recent call.
If the Call log is full with 99 calls and a new call comes in, the oldest call, call
#1, is automatically deleted to make room in the log for the new call.
