Telephone equipment which monitors and/or displays status information relating to a current, last or past telephone call at any telephone or other customer premises equipment utilizing the same telephone line. A phone status display (PSD) displays phone status information as well as call related information regarding incoming calls, e.g., Caller ID information. The status information may include, e.g., whether a telephone call was an incoming or outgoing telephone call, the date, start and elapsed time of the call, and/or the distance of the telephone call (e.g., local or long distance), as well as conventional Caller ID information. The phone status display may be integrated into a telephone, or may be a separate device connected to the same telephone line as a telephone to monitor activity of the use of the telephone line by the telephone(s) connected thereto.
