The display is difficult to read without tilting the unit to change the light reflection.Customer Review: 3 Caller ID

I think charging S & H for 3 items in one box is excessive vs one S & H.Customer Review: Hard to read display
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product to provide caller id functionality to an old speaker-phone that I really like. And I haven't had any problem with the basic functionality. That is, by the 2nd ring, the caller info gets displayed. It also has another benefit that I hadn't thought of when buying it: it displays the accurate date and time that get synced with each call. It's a clock that doesn't require setting.
My only complaint is that it is sometimes difficult to read the display. As others have noted, you need to basically be looking straight on to read things clearly. The angle at which the unit stands by default did not work for my setup. I had to prop up the back with a make-shift wedge in order to be able to read it from my desk chair.
Customer Review: Doesn't last long
Summary: 3 Stars
I have had several of these units in the past couple of years. When they work, they work great. However, they fail frequently, often after only a few months of use. I have never had one last much over a year. Many of the problems are the same as some other reviewers have mentioned - unit says low batteries, but a change of battery either doesn't help or only for a short while; hard to change batteries; etc. My current problem is the call waiting function has stopped working, although the caller id for the first call is ok. Unfortunately, I cannot find another model that features the call waiting function.Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for under $10 at Walmart at the suggestion of another reviewer. Unfortunately it tells you the total number of calls stored instead of just displaying the number of new calls received. It would be nice if it had an indicator light for new calls so you would know not to even look at it if the light isn't flashing. A plus is you can dial directly using the caller id instead of punching in the numbers. This comes in handy for long distance calls.
