The caller ID does not work. It just says incomming call. We do have DSL but we have a filter and caller ID worked just fine with our last phones.

We no longer have these phones but when we did, we also had DSL but didn't have a problem with the caller ID - it always showed up so I'm not sure I can help. Sorry that wasn't very helpful at all.

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

I finally junked it. I think it stops 800 numbers but not calls from regular area codes. I gave up my landline to stop the bother.

Well, I don't know about a caller id, but another phone or computer modem works in the other port so it logically indicates a caller id unit would..

You have to have the Caller ID service on your telephone line. Please let me know if this doesn't answer your question.

They don't receive any message. On their end, the phone just continues to ring and never answers. The nice thing is that you don't hear it ring, but their called id does show up on our tv. (we have cable phone and all phone calls show up on the tv.)

I moved for the first time in 20 years and a friend helped me pack. I totally forgot about that caller ID unit. It has been packed up for a year now. I didn't even remember about that missing caller ID Unit until I saw your email! Thanks for reminding me. Now we'll have to check some of our stick packed boxes and see if we can find it.

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

Yes, for the caller ID, answering machine, time and date to work. But it will call out and in without being plugged into an electric outlet. But that is all. The time date and all won't work if not plugged in. I like the phone nice big numbers. The speaker phone is very nice and works great. Only thing I don't like is our power goes out 3 or 4 times per month and I have to reset the year for the date. The time will reset on the first call in. If you don't reset the year your answering machine days will not match the calls. It's a great phone for the money.

This model is working fine for internet, but my phone service does not work. Comcast and I both did a reset - I was told that I need a technician to install? Chat personnel said that I was not sychronized. Has anyone found out how make telephone service work?

Dear Nancy,We have had the Digitone Call Blocker for about a year. I has cut down on annoying call of all types and IT DOES WORK!! It will block unlisted and private numbers that come in as unknown name/number and will indicate to you where the call came from. At this point you can BLOCK or INVITE the call. If we don't know who it is they are blocked. You can block entire area codes also. My suggestion to you is to visit their website. Any and all questions are answered there. If not call them direct they are GREAT to talk with, I did. It is the only workable and worthwhile investment. Easy to install and the instructions are easy to understand. Read my Post on Amazon.

No. Like Louis said you probably have caller ID. I have not been bothered by any of those idiots. Love my phone.

The model I have does not show on the phone caller ID, although it does have a caller ID visible on the unit itself - the unit basically intercepts the calls before they can show on caller ID. I still use the Call Block and really like it. It would be nice if they could add that feature though.

Both my base and handset receivers all say "New Voice Mail" whenever I have unchecked messages...it's says that on the actual screen of the phones and base. My issue is the caller ID...the numbers don't come up...everything else works fine.

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.

The DSL filters work best at the network interface, I have 5 lines and use one filter and it works fine with this phone and all the others.

Yes it has caller ID----also has voice caller ID--- works well. You can hear who is calling before you read callers name.

Hi: I too have Xfinity. What you end up with is two caller IDs; one on the Digitone and one on Xfinity. Works perfectly. No to worry.
