Do you need the call display service from your phone provider for this device to work?

I can get the numbers when it ring but the numbers and name is too small for us to read and don't get bright even when turn the light up.

You need the base phone in order for this system to work. It does have call waiting.

Yes, but it requires batteries for the caller ID display.If you don't install the batteries the phone will work but no display.You also must have the caller ID option from your telephone company.

I have no idea, but perhaps that is what my problem is. When I dial out, I get a response the line I am calling is not in service. I am trying to problem solve with Verizon but not solved yet. I will look through the paperwork that came with the phone to see if perhaps it is some sort of 'registration' issue that is causing our phone to not work. On another topic, the attachments, like the wrist and necklace require registration before they will work with the phone. My issue is just getting the phone to work.

I don't know why it wouldn't work. It's about the phone not the service provider.

I'm ticked..i have no more display for caller ID, date, time, etc.! I really rely on those. The phone had worked fine, then after about 2 yrs. the display just stopped showing. I googled and read the manuel and it said to make sure the plug was in securly and it is after several times re-plugging it.The phone still works fine, just has no DISPLAY!

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

I think you do. The unit needs a connection to phone service since the unit itself dials the number you set with its internal dialer. I do not know how you would connect a cell phone to the unit by standard modular plug & the cell phone would have to supply a dial tone without external command.

No this is not a phone monitor. It comes with a portable wireless display. Try setting up a foscam that will work with your phone. That our the withings monitor

I returned this item because it was not supported by my cell phone service.

My phone does not display caller I.D. However, I do not subscribe to Caller I.D. If as the other person who answered your question actually subscribes to Caller I.D. and I don't doubt that he/she does, then there is your answer. Mine apparantley doesn't display it because I don't subscribe to it and regretfully my instruction book for this phone has disappeared. I strongly defer to the positive response from the other person's answer to your question.

it should, but of course its dependent on your service provider, not the phone itself.

use dialer on back of unit and your phone has to be on with dial tone it may call that # but that's how I got it to work

yes, but you must have caller id service from your telephone provider. also, most cell phone calls will only show "wireless caller". voip caller may not show anything.

Not unless you set it to do so. As a default it does not. If you have your phone plugged into cable or satellite box to show caller ID, that will still show up on the screen but phone won't ring.

I have the unit connected to the phone base unit. If you carry the phone elsewhere, you won't see it, but it still displays the calling number.

No, it doesn't. As applicable, display shows incoming" phone# and caller's name" or "unavailable" or "private caller".
