Caller ID- how long does display of it last? In reading reviews, I see mention "The phone displays caller ID info for about 1 second - then it vanishes while ringing." Has this been anyone else's case? This certainly would be a deal breaker however I do not see it mentioned by anyone else. Thank you. Caller ID- how long does display of it last?

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 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.

no it does not have caller ID its just a regular phone but cute,you can get a caller ID box and call your phone service for caller ID feature, that's what I would do if I wanted caller ID on this phone

I have my answering machine first in line and the call block computer is after the answering machine. Using only the A list the caller ID is displayed. Only A list callers ring everything else goes to the answering machine after 5 rings(that is what I set the answering machine to).

The Caller id is displayed on the receiver when the phone rings. You do not have to pick up the phone to see the callerid. The caller id is on the outside of the receiver which displays while the phone is hung up. Once you pick up the phone, the call is connected as it is not like a cordless phone.

The display on my remote tells me the time even when it is turned off. It displays additional status info when it is turned on. It sounds like your display is faulty if nothing shows up. I suggest you call the service phone number listed below the warranty at the back of the Instruction Manual. Staff was helpful the one time I called them.

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I've had my previous phone for going on 6 years now actually, and all calls were placed from my house, where I've made countless calls without a single instance of a dropped call before this new phone. Perhaps I did get a lemon. I'll look into exchanging it (unwisely I purchased it elsewhere). I'm back to using my ancient phone in the meantime. :) Thanks again for the feedback!

On mine, what is "normal" is that there are black LCD segment digits on a blue background for about 15 seconds. IMO, seeing nothing at all on the display is not normal.

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.

No it doesn't on mine. Somebody has asked that before and was told that their unit did reference the phone book but mine does not. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the area code display function and how you set it up initially. Another issue for me is, I can't return a call from the caller ID display if it's long distance because there isn't a way to add the "1". My old unit, you could display the number on the caller ID, then press "1", then the dial function. This one won't do it. Again, I'm wondering if it's it the initial set up options.

Each time you add minutes to your phone, it gives you a certain number of service days. The number of days varies depending on how many minutes you purchase. As long as you add more minutes before your number of service days ends, you won't lose any minutes. The number of days you have left displays right on your main screen, along with how many minutes you have remaining. You can also buy separate cards to add service time, but if you buy minutes on a fairly regular basis, you really wouldn't need to do that. I only put minutes on mine about every 4 months and have never come close to running out of service days.

I read somewhere that the phone is pinged every so often to determine minutes remaining, even when off. The author said there was a status function that had to be disabled. I think the function had to do with the display of minutes left and licensing end date. Hope this helps.

Mine is working fine with no issues. No complains at all. I haven´t asked about the warranty because it is working. ID calls does not show time and date.

It's about 2 1/2 inches long, you can speak text...it does not have caller ID but your phone does. This unit works really great and I simply love it. I have no problem linking up to the phone and when I turn it on, the phone instantly recognizes it and prompts you to connect. It's much better than the old unit that I used to have. I hope that this helps.

I'm not sure Ma'am But I would not advise anyone to purchase this Caller ID is crap! Had all kinds of problems with it after only two months, got another an no better it quit working about a month after getting it. I would want to know the truth so I am just giving you an honest answer. Hope this helps.. :)

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.

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

No. Not as far as I have seen. My Tv had caller id hooked up to show incoming calls, not call waiting, though. Hope this helps. I love mine. I have had them, and replaced them, best brand for what I want.
