Hi Jenny- If you do not have caller-ID service from your phone provider, the recorder cannot capture the incoming phone number or name, but it will still capture the outbound (dialed) number. An RJ-11 plug and "Y" connector are provided for connection to the outside line jack. -DLI

NO - there is no caller ID - I have the service, my other phones show it, and the batteries are in - there is no caller ID. I bought this based on the person who said it does have caller ID. It has CALL WAITING,it does not have Caller ID.

As far as I know, some models would take a SIM card to record a small amount to, but we don't have those. Like the other answer I think there could be a separate device.

This is an important question, and the answer is that it is almost certain that your security company will not allow you to use your own VoIP setup. The security system will need to seize the line, and for liability reasons, no security company that I know of will agree to is use. That said, it can serve as the callback number with no issue.

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.

Yes, I do not use the landline feature, just Skype. It works perfectly fine for me.

yes, but you must have caller id service from your telephone provider. also, most cell phone calls will only show "wireless caller". voip caller may not show anything.

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

I already had caller ID when Ibought this, so not sure. I bought it so I could monitor OUTGOING calls (time call was made and time length of call), because it tracks that as well, whereas standard modern phones do not. Will do this on any phone jack in the house, so if you have one not being used, nobody will notice this device.

Yes, if you have single-line, standard home phone service, you can connect it to any phone jack in the house (one that's hidden) and it will record all calls on the line, no matter what jack it's plugged into - even cordless phones.

There is a record function button on the unit so I'm sure you can. However, I've had no occasion to try it.

This device provides a "land-line" via your cell phones Bluetooth; It's as simple as that. Are you talking about blocking an additional cell phone in the house? If you're familiar with Bluetooth technology then you know that the devices must be "paired" in order to work. If you mean block an incoming call, the device does provide caller ID. Just don't answer! Seriously, if you can't do it from your cell phone then you can't do it by using the Xtreme device.

I believe that the recorder is set to automatically record all calls. I turned this feature off because I want to select what calls to record. Most states have laws which require one to tell the caller that you are recording the call. The device works very well. The only drawback was that the CD with the software and users manual wasn't in the package. You need to go to the website to download the software and manual. The manufacturer was very responsive when I called.

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.

Dear Paul,Thank you for contacting us. This alarm can be used for either self monitoring or for professional monitoring. It just needs to be connected to a land line or voip phone service.Sincerely,Andrew

I'm not sure about that. Why don't you google the company directly and give them a call. Unless something has changed, they are a small company where real folks actually answer the phone. The were extremely helpful with all my questions. I doubt you will be disappointed with this device. Admittedly I've not used mine in a few years since my teenager grew up I was monitoring. There may have been changes at the company. But again, I was very impressed with them and believe me, I'm pretty picky. Good luck

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.
