Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fanstel G99M Large Screen Caller ID with Call Waiting Display Box Landline Telephone AccessoryCustomer Review: Finally....One That's Big Enough, And Well Lit Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been fascinated by the lack of progressive technology in caller ID units. They seem to be 50 years behind the times. Not in the way they work, but in allowing you to actually see them work. While we have been able to send men to the moon and transplant hearts for quite some time now, it seemed for the longest time that a caller ID that was both big enough to read and well lit was still out of reach of the best minds in the world. Most caller IDs these days still look like an early prototype of something invented decades ago. Like the very first calculators that were so big they had to stand on the floor and had tiny, hard to read screens that were,...well,....like most caller IDs of today. There is no question that in most homes a caller ID of some sort is as much of a necessity as a microwave. Unless you have ample time to pick up every call and enjoy being hounded by charities and telemarketers, they have evolved into one of the most beloved possessions most of us can own.
Its still today hard to find a caller ID that is big enough and clear enough to see without sticking your face right into it. And, one that is actually back lit. (As well as dependable. Some of the other large display units on Amazon have some pretty poor reviews as far as durability). Once again it fascinates me that $3.00 digital watches can come back lit, but a basic caller ID just laughs at you when you look for any light to be found. This Fanstel Type II unit not only has a display that is large and generous enough for most anyone to see, but also has an automatic light that comes on quite brightly when the phone rings. No more squinting to see the little numbers, or rushing to turn on a light like we have all been forced to do with junk units. The contrast on this display is still not the best, (still got to get those brilliant minds working on that), but as good as I have ever seen, and I have no problem making it dark enough. The actual display itself is very big and easy to read, and the back light feature works extremely well, and, is also adjustable. I plan on buying more of these for every room I have a phone in. Even the ones that have their own caller ID built in for they all are all junk and hard to read anyway. This ID is reasonably priced here on Amazon, carries a fair shipping charge, and in my opinion a must buy for anyone that is still living in the "dark" ages of caller IDs. I've had mine for almost a year now and it still works flawlessly. Do yourself and your eyes a favor and buy one of these and see the light. And the number. Highly recommended...
