..consider a Panasonic cordless phone instead.? We bought a set with 5 receivers so now 5 phones ring and we still don’t pick it up, LOL. Can you even buy caller ID boxes these days. I haven’t seen one in 20 years.
A lot of Caller ID boxes are part of corded answering machines. Even the lowest-end Panasonic answering machine consists of two cordless handsets. I have this. You can think of the extra handset as a remote for the answering machine, so it works out in my small apartment.
