I used to have a cordless land line phone that had a watch function on the display, that automatically set itself on receipt of an incoming call (which includes a time/date stamp along with the number information). There was no way to set the time by hand, except to go to another phone and call it!

If there is no continuously-updated watch display on your phone, it probably is just saving the static timestamps from the CLI information packet. That information is coming from the telephone exchange, so can be presumed correct.
