Bell South Caller ID Phone Box CI30: Enhanced Communication and Caller Identification at Your Fingertips Review

This worked for less than a week and then stopped completely. The good news is that negotiating a return with the seller was 100% easy.

I like this caller ID and ordered it to replace my old one which was shorted out due to a short in the outlet. Thanks to Revain for the new caller ID box! I like this one but would like to see the numbers without wearing glasses. The print is smaller than I imagined.

The CallerID device works as hoped. It was very easy to install and does exactly what the website says. As someone mentioned, the numbers are a little small, but only slightly smaller than the device we had before. It's only been a few days but this is exactly what we wanted and thought we were going to get.

Very disappointed. The time-date line is 1/8 inch, but more importantly, the caller ID is barely a quarter of an inch. I set the contrast to maximum, but of course that doesn't change the small readout size. outs It has all the bells and whistles and lacks the most important thing, the selection size. No wonder the size of the reference is not mentioned anywhere. Another negative factor is that it needs to be connected to a household network. I regret buying this. This taught me to check the…

In other words, you have to reset each call individually or the LED will blink forever. If you get a lot of calls every day, be prepared to press the button often

Caller ID boxes are great (as long as the caller hasn't blocked their ID). The only problem is that there are very few useful features surrounding caller ID, which is why most manufacturers seem to think they should pack everything imaginable into these boxes. The ability to view the last 99 incoming calls loses its appeal after the first scan. Since we don't get many obscene calls, it's of little interest to know when each call comes in. And with limited space, there can be so many buttons at…

If only it could speak like my previous device I would add a fifth star. I bought a BellSouth phone booth to replace the (discontinued) Philips Talking Caller ID that, years before his death, would let me know when my phone rang and announce the caller's name or location. And I didn't have to be near this device to hear the announcement. The BellSouth box doesn't speak, but does everything else reasonably well and, thanks to its accurate clock, records incoming calls well on the…
