Why does the item description say "Caller ID Displays on Handset and Base"? Is there a digital screen on the handset?

Because not everything you read on the internet is true. I am sitting right next to mine, and I can assure you, there's no display on the handset.

I don't recall the specifics, other than it was a terrible phone, but I can answer unequivocally that if the Caller ID was on the handset, I would have returned it immediately. The umpteenth AT&T; repairman who came out to the house told me that the AT&T; phones were terrible and that most of the phones that they were called out to repair, were the AT&T; phones.

Not sure why that would be mentioned...caller ID only displays on the base. Great phone...good clarity and features!

The phone is connected to the incoming caller immediatly when you lift the receiver. On the outside of the receiver is the caller ID, letting you see who is calling before you decide to answer.

No, it just shows the caller ID on the LCD display. It's a nice phone system. The only thing I wish it had is a battery for times when the electricity goes out.

does the cid show up no matter calls on both the hand sets as well as the base unit?

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.

Honestly, I think the color is black and white and the image is not great...but I knew that was the case before I bought it...we needed a doorbell and a new phone, so this was our best option. Yes, there is a speaker on the handsets...just found that out in the last few weeks...hope this helps!

There is no screen on the phone itself to allow for a display of an incoming phone number, so it's not possible. I love the phone, though.

Yes. My Panasonic phones have caller ID. I am very pleased with the entire system.

I can't speak to making or receiving phone calls but the caller ID part works well, giving you full access to your missed/answered call list. Voice commands may not work with all handsets so you'll want to double check compatibility first.

There is an intercom between the handsets and base unit.See also Vtech's website for more info at, http://www.vtechphones.com/products/product_detail/2359

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.

Neither - you just have to check the Caller ID to know if someone has called. I'm not that impressed with this phone at all. :(

When you say "base" that leads me to believe you're talking about a base unit. This is a handset only and requires a DECT 6.0 compatible base.

My phone doesn't have an M either. I purchased the additional handset because the numbers were the same (less the M) and the handset was identical in appearance to the one I had. I don't know what the M signifies so can only suggest you contact a retailer and ask.

It is based on your VoIP provider - I do not think there are no VoIP provider without caller ID feature. Typically, Caller ID feature is controlled by your VoIP service&provider.;

This is a digital phone. this is my 2nd Uniden D1680. I had the other so long I could not read the number. I like the phone. Better clarity than other models I tried only to return them to the store
