Essential Info

Are you relying on Caller ID and the Do Not Call list to avoid unwanted callers? These services are certainly convenient in this busy age, but they are also limited. If an unwanted caller phones in the middle of the night, you shouldn’t even have to hear the phone ring! The Caller ID with Ring Controller makes it so you won’t ever have to again. This easy-to-use device lets you determine which calls always get through, which calls can only come in during certain hours of the day, and which calls can go straight to your answering machine.

    • More Info

    The Caller ID with Ring Controller gives you total control over your telephone. This fully programmable unit lets you decide who can ring your phone and only lets them through when you want to talk. When a call comes in, the microprocessor checks the caller’s relationship from your preset phone number lists to determine whether to allow your phone to ring or not. Then, depending on who is calling and what time of day it is, the phone will ring or remain silent based on your wishes.

    The database stores up to 270 phone numbers and names, which can be programmed in using the easy-to-read four-line LCD or just saved from the Caller ID memory, which stores caller information from the last 100 calls. Designate whether you want your callers stored on your A-List, B-List, or R-List: A-List callers will always get through; B-List callers can call during the daily hours you specify; and R-List callers will be rejected, no matter how often they try! Changing caller status is easy, should you change your mind, and you can bypass the device if desired, if you’re expecting a call from a number normally on the reject list.

    The A-List and B-List also serve as your personal phone book, connected directly to your phone and putting everyone you know in your speed dial, ensuring there are no more misdialed calls. You can search through this 250-number list by typing in the first characters of the caller’s last name.

    The Caller ID with Ring Controller has three colored indicator lights to show the caller’s status, making it possible from across the room to determine whether to pick up the phone. Additional features include data protection, so you won’t lose your database in the event of a power failure. No batteries are required. The Caller ID with Ring Controller works for fax machines, as well. You’ll never again get an ad faxed through that you don’t want!

    The Caller ID with Ring Controller is also available in white. Caller ID is a service provided by your phone company for a fee.

    Please Note:The Caller ID with Ring Controller is designed for use with USA-based phone systems only and will not work with European or other Caller ID systems.
