Call Block Computer w/Caller ID & Ring Regulator (White)
Call Block Computer w/Caller ID & Ring Regulator (White)

The instruction booklet is incomplete or unclear about setting control level times. Occasionally a garbled line of caller ID will be displayed and cannot be erased-right now the first 5 lines of my unit are unusable. Data protection is supposed to prevent data loss during power outages. I had a 5 hour power outage and lost all my data. You are supposed to be able to re-set memories but I haven't had any luck with this feature.
This device is a great concept but still needs some work.

I purchased this product for one primary reason - to block specific callers from ringing my phone. While this caller ID does have other fuctions, this was, for me, the only reason I purchased it.

Unfortunately, it failed at this job and even created other problems. Each time someone on the "blocked" list called the phone would ring for a fraction of a second. Doesn't sound bad, but it was. At times it was more jarring than having the phone ring normally. Also, at least once, one of the blocked callers got through. Not sure why that happened.

In order for this product to attempt to control who gets through and who doesn't it has to be the first thing connected to your primary phone jack. While that's logical, it also creates a problem that will be a negative for anyone with more than one phone. This caller ID blocked the ID information from being forwarded to my two phones. So the phone rings and the only way you'll know who's calling is to get up and look at the base unit that could be in another room or even on the other side of the house. Very inconvenient.

I used this caller ID for about a week and I knew it wasn't going to work. It barely did what it was supposed to and was more of a hassle than anything else. I contacted Smarthome, the Amazon distributor, and they were very courteous and took the item back and paid for the shipping back to them. I'd probably purchase from them again given how they handled the situation. But as for this product, I really can't think of anyone who would find it useful given its limitations.
