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).

Bluetooth device requires an app to be installed on the phone and then you need to add the plugins needed to push the notification to the device or to enable the features that make this Bluetooth device stand out from the rest and afaik the app and plugins are only available for Android so best you will get caller ID along standard headset functions on devices not running Android OS however there is always the chance someone may port the app to run on other devices

It is based on your VoIP provider - I do not think there are no VoIP provider without caller ID feature. Typically, Caller ID feature is controlled by your VoIP service&provider.;

I don't know. I assume that that the caller id would work. I have another vtech phone without an answering machine. I still haven't hooked this up yet but I have to by next week as my present phone is dying.

Yes, my phone supports caller ID call waiting. Great phone and it's nice having 2 handsets as well as the base phone.billyd21421@gmail.com

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.

None,it doesn't work that way all calls go through your Caller ID and Answering Machine.As two other people have commented on this,i couldn't have said it better myself,if you buy it you won't believe the quiet you'll get from it.I'm still very happy with mine,this was a wise investment on my part.

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

Hi, I don't have caller ID. So, I don't know. The box that mine came in is a more than a few years old and does not mention caller ID. The box does say that you can take calls while online with V.92 "Modem-On-Hold" and Call waiting if you have call waiting from your phone company and Windows Vista, XP... To find out the information you need, I would suggest going to the www.zoom.com website or calling zoom at 1-617-753-0962 and ask their customer service. When you find out please post the answer on Amazon. I am sure other people would like to know the answer to that too. Sorry, I could not be of more help. Hi, I don't have caller ID. So, I don't know.

You need a base phone too. I made the mistake of ordering this phone and then had to order the base so get the base first. It comes with phones. Yes it does do call waiting.

Yes you can. It had caller ID too, once u enter the number and name it identifies who is calling. Otherwise it identifies the number that is calling

Absolutely. In fact, it has some great features that will work only if you have Caller ID service: "Number Announce", "Store Number", and "Accept Blocked Calls", which is my favorite; if you have "Accept Blocked Calls" turned OFF, any caller who comes up on Caller ID as Name Blocked/Number Blocked (both name and number must say "blocked" on your Caller ID) reaches a recording saying that you don't accept blocked calls....and then it hangs up on them! If you're also asking if the unit works with a Caller ID box hooked up -- yes, it does. With the "Number Announce" feature turned ON, you can actually eliminate your Caller ID box, or use "Number Announce" along with it; I still have my Caller ID box hooked up with "Number Announce" turned OFF; ON or OFF is an option. I hope this information helps.

I would think so, yes, for the phone line you connect it to. I think call waiting caller ID is a feature you might need to subscribe to with the phone co., but incoming calls should be identified. Mine works fine so far.

I don't know I do not have call waiting but this caller I/d sucks you can bally see who's calling then the letters are mess up and numbers too they only show part of the numbers and letters I should have not bought this everything that was said bad about the idem was right on the money a lesson learned all I can do now is hope it stops working so I can buy something else

I think call waiting is provided by the carrier and mot the phone. It does have a FLASH key that would send the signal for call waiting!

I have caller id with my phone company...so I am not sure if it would work if you did not have that option.
