Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With a simple design geared toward clear legibility, the Southwestern Bell FM112 Caller ID Box provides three lines of information on its LCD panel. The 50-entry name and number log coordinates with the total call counter to help you stay organized, and each incoming message automatically receives a time/date stamp. Two scrolling buttons allow you to click through the list of calls and save, skip, or delete numbers. The contrast control customizes the viewing panel, adjusting the display for different levels of ambient light. The manufacturer includes a one-year warranty that covers parts and service.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Read, September 16, 2002

By	Scott Canoni "Tech Guru" (Ossining, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Passable product, sham warranty, May 13, 2002

By	Bill Smythe (Chicago) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars called ID box, January 14, 2007

By	Floyd J. Stephens (Greenville NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
