Southwestern Bell FM2560S Trimline Corded Phone with Caller ID (Silver)

From the Manufacturer
Southwestern Bell Freedom Phone's FM2560S Trimline corded phone features 64 caller ID memory, caller ID redial, a large, three-line LCD, and a dedicated new-call LED. A 10-number memory lets you store your most-dialed numbers, and a lighted keypad simplifies nighttime operation.

Instead of using the standard up and down scroll/review buttons, the FM2560S's Quick Review feature allows you to scroll through the caller ID records by rotating an easy-to-use knob. The records can be reviewed at different speeds to help you locate the number you need, quickly and efficiently. To call the caller ID record you are currently reviewing, simply press the redial button and the telephone will automatically call the number. Once it has dialed, it will instruct you to pick up the telephone to begin your conversation.

Until recently, the caller ID function was only available when the telephone was not in use. Type II devices such as the FM144W allow you to utilize caller ID in conjunction with call waiting (you must subscribe for these services through your local telephone company). Now you can see who is calling, even when you are on the line.

Re: Caller ID..........2006-08-16

Actually, I own the Uniden TRU8866 MultiLine cordless phones and often the phone turning orange when the caller ID lights up is how I know someone is calling, even before the first ring. As far as this phone goes though, I returned it due to an inability to read the horrible caller ID display.

In addition to my previous review, let me add that if you answer the telephone before the second ring, the unit will not display any Caller id info. Not a problem for me, but, I know some people may not not be patient enough to wait and "see" who's calling before a second ring.

That's how the caller ID system works. The first ring carries the information containing the caller ID, so any phone with caller ID will display the caller ID on the second ring. It's just how caller ID works.

In addition to the below mentioned issues, the phone has a large annoying Southwestern Bell logo along the side that does not come off.

Was looking for a phone for the bedroom. This one fit the bill (almost). I have not had any problems adjusting the contrast (you press down on the arrow buttons to adjust when you first program the phone). The caller id display has worked fine once you program it with your area code. My only complaint is that I wish the company had designed it with a "backlit" caller id display. It's a bit of a hassle to turn on the bedside lamp at night to see who's calling on the caller id display. It has a lighted key pad which is great for dialing in a darkened room. The ringer volume can be adjusted to a low or high level. Works fine.
