Do you attach this to a phone that doesn't have caller id already? How complicated is it to attach?

I did not attach it to a phone that already had caller ID. It was simple to attach.

Yeah. It's a piece of cake to install. You just plug the cord that it comes with into your phone jack and take the cord from your non-caller id phone and plug it into your caller id. You can plug in the electric jack into a wall outlet or just use batteries...your call.

Yes, the wall jack connects to the id and it connects to the phone. It is simple to follow the directions provided.

It all the depends on the machine itself. If you can attach any phone to your machine, this one should work fine. The Caller ID function should work fine.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

No CallerID on this phone. This phone design was made before CallerID. To use CallerID with such a phone you would need a separate stand-alone CallerID device.

Yes - but you need to understand that it is interpreting whatever the caller ID is showing so it might not make total sense.

No. It does not have caller ID. It is just a plain old corded phone. It's great to be able to slam down the hand piece to hang up on someone, for those annoying calls!! You can't do that with an iPhone!

Quoting from the manual that comes with this phone "This unit is Caller ID compatible. To use Caller ID features, you must subscribe to a Caller ID service. Contact your service provider/telephone company for details." Net-net: if you now have Caller ID, this phone will display it. If you don't now have Caller ID, this phone won't display it unless you add Caller ID as a feature to your phone service. By the way...this really is a great phone set and I am one fussy guy.

Caller ID appears on the second ring. When you lift receiver, call is connected. No button to push.

It is not a bad phone. Does the job for basic caller ID and what not. This particular model is just the handset. You would still need to get the base for the phone. Hope this helps.

Yes - this should work just fine and has the advantage of making the phone and ID unit independent of each other. Of course many id units have an input to connect the phone line and an output to connect the phone -thus everything is inline. That may work for you as well (instead of using this extra connector).

I have cable phone service and caller ID works. I do not use the voicemail function however, so I don't know if it works well.

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.

I have my cell phone number programed into the system. If you are trying to get an attachment to use when your land line is unavailable I can't answer that question.

You had to have Caller ID with your service provider and costs will vary. Other than that there isn't a charge to use it, just plug it into the phone line and let it do it's thing. Everything works as advertised.

It does not announce who the caller is. You need to look at your phone to see specifically who is calling.

Yes, but it's a pain. See: http://forums.phonearena.com/showthread.php?t=4108

Yes, however your phone service has to have this feature turned on. The phone will capture the caller ID.
