How do I set this up so that it DOES NOT override the caller ID on my cordless handsets? I want the ID info to still show on them!

I haven't figured this out either. I too am unable to view the caller ID on my phones as well. I still like the device though. The caller ID's name and number shows up on my tv since I have a Comcast DVR, so my TV has to be on in order to see who's calling before I pick up the phone.

It is set up the same way that any caller Id is. The only fantastic feature is that you get to press the reject/ block the number once it appears. and you will not have to hear a ring from that particular caller from that rejected/blocked number again -until you unblock it.

I dont think there is a setting for that. In my case, it does not "overide" the caller ID of any of my cordless handsets and I am using sets from two, different manufacturers.

The call blocker unit should not affect the caller ID on your phones. Set it up the normal way, as the instructions state, mainly by just plugging in the unit as a parallel or series installation.

Good luck. After countless failed attempts at my part to set it up and to get it to work properly, I had to return the unit. The collection of reviews indicates that my experience was rather common. Again, good luck.

NO - there is no caller ID - I have the service, my other phones show it, and the batteries are in - there is no caller ID. I bought this based on the person who said it does have caller ID. It has CALL WAITING,it does not have Caller ID.

HI, Page 10 of the manual. Your phone service and the callers phone service must have CID caller i d activated. If the caller suppressed their CID the phone shows "p". If the number could not be id' for other technical reasons the phone shows "o" or "e" Great price sorta weird euro phone! Have a great day!

The only thing I can think of is that different phone company's info gets listed differently between carriers or there may be something on the phone's menu during setup that could determine what info you are given with the caller ID. Mine always lists the caller according to how they are listed with the phone company.

Yes, Bob, you do. FYI This caller id did not last very long. My phone quit working and the phone people realized that it was a faulty caller id.I junked it and ordered a Bellsouth product. I have always had good results from their products.

We no longer have these phones but when we did, we also had DSL but didn't have a problem with the caller ID - it always showed up so I'm not sure I can help. Sorry that wasn't very helpful at all.

Linda, on my phone the screen says "incoming call" for 2-3 seconds, than the caller id shows up. I think you need to mess with the settings. Not sure how to solve it, but mine works! Kris

the caller id is not battery operated, it requires the ac adapter. the only other connections are to the wall jack and to the phone.

I bought the phone based on those who said it has called ID. I have the service, I put batteries in, and I cannot get it to display the number calling.

The Caller ID function will show up on the screen of your phone, but the headset will not read the name to you into your ear (at least, not that I'm aware of).

You have to have the Caller ID service on your telephone line. Please let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

Other than not having a clue why you'd want to do that, I suspect you may have to go through your phone carrier. Good luck with that. What you program as the caller id in your directory should announce when that caller calls. If you enter a phone number and want the ID to be a number instead of a name, you can do that.

Mr Marks is correct. Also, I don't know if the unit blocks Anonymous calls, so if the caller is blocking his own caller ID, the unit may block it by default. If this is the case, tell him to use the key combination to temporarily disable his own outgoing caller ID block when calling you. This way the unit will get the caller ID and if it is not in the block list the call will go through.

I have this phone and I have it set to answer after 6 rings. When a call comes in, the display initially shows "Ringing", but before the second ring, it begins displaying the caller's ID. It continues showing the caller's ID through the remainder of the rings.
