why doesn't it show caller id?

To see the caller, you must put three (3) AA batteries in the back. The names and numbers are a bit dim, but if you pick up your phone and tilt it just right, you can see them.

It does if you put in the batteries and have just the right lighting. However, it's so bad I put an external caller ID box on it so I won't have to mess with it. Otherwise it's ok as a phone.

Please ensure you have subscribed to the Caller ID service and ensure batteries are in the telephone.

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, it does display caller ID if you have this service; however, the down side is that it requires batteries for the digital ID to work. I am currently using the Amazon rechargeable batteries for that. I highly recommend this product

HI, Page 10 of the manual. Your phone service and the callers phone service must have CID caller i d activated. If the caller suppressed their CID the phone shows "p". If the number could not be id' for other technical reasons the phone shows "o" or "e" Great price sorta weird euro phone! Have a great day!

Yes it does, it comes with a plug that you can hook up if you want the caller ID to work.

The Caller id is displayed on the receiver when the phone rings. You do not have to pick up the phone to see the callerid. The caller id is on the outside of the receiver which displays while the phone is hung up. Once you pick up the phone, the call is connected as it is not like a cordless phone.

I haven't found that particular option on this phone. The phone does have a voice caller ID so you'll know who is calling.

If this system does support caller ID please tell me how to implement it. I would love to use that feature. BUT I do NOT see it mentioned in the user's manual.

Yes be sure the volume is up. You should hear the caller ID announced as well.

No. That's one of the problems. My programed numbers and other people's numbers do no appear as cell ID information. Either don't have it programed right or it does not work that way.

I bought the phone based on those who said it has called ID. I have the service, I put batteries in, and I cannot get it to display the number calling.

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

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..

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.

I have the same problem. I think the problem is that my name is not displayed on caller ID, and why that is I can't answer. Sorry I don't have a solution. Very frustrating, especially since I travel a lot and need to use someone else's phone to call my own home!

Mine does show who is calling. You may want to check with your phone company. I have trouble connecting new hand sets. I wish I went with a Panasonic:(
