| called ID box: Rating: 5/5 |
Item was expensive compared to similar items, but probably worth it as it works excellently. The instructions are simple and easy to understand, and the display is concise and clear. I would again pay the price for this product and am very pleased with my purchase.

| HOW DO YOU RESET THE LANGUAGE OPTION?: Rating: 3/5 |
| I bought several of these since they were inexpensive, although they EAT batteries. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the instructions for setting the language (which you must re-do after changing the batteries). Can anyone out there help me with this? Thanks! |

| Hard to Read: Rating: 1/5 |
| Quite simply, this caller ID display is too hard to read from any angle EVEN if it has brand new batteries in it, AND the contrast is turned up all the way. The display is just too dim. Save your money and don't buy this one. |

| Passable product, sham warranty: Rating: 3/5 |
| As with most budget-priced caller ID boxes these days, the display is seriously lacking in contrast, and harder to read than boxes made a decade ago. The contrast control, with about 20 settings, gives you the choice of a too-dark background (showing all 8's) or a too-light foreground. The unit comes with a non-detachable cord, denying you the option of locating the box far away from the jack using a longer cord. The 1-year warranty is nonsense because you must pre-pay a "shipping and handling" charge almost equal to the price of the unit. I wish manufacturers would spend an extra nickel to add two more wires to the feed-through, which would make it possible to use a 2-line phone (although with caller ID only on line 1). Another nice feature would be a way to delete all calls from a specific number simultaneously. Without these features, this Southwestern Bell unit performs its basic function adequately, though not superbly. |
