This review is from: Fanstel G99M Large Screen Caller ID with Call Waiting Display Box Landline Telephone Accessory (Office Product)
The display is very clear and I can see it from a distance with the backlight on when the phone rings and when reviewing the call list.
It's great with the power supply and I only have a battery in for backup to save the memory if the power goes out. My previous one didn't have AC power and went through batteries way too often. I just noticed that the battery cover is pretty tight and I had to use a knife to pry it a bit to get it to open.
This is my second one. The first one is a few years old and still works just fine. I am ordering another one right after I get done with this review.

Bought this for my 88 year old mother who answered every call because she could not easily read the caller ID display on her phone. The large display is perfect for her and the fact that it lights up when the phone rings is wonderful. The fact that it must be plugged in was not a problem for her. After searching stores locally and looking at the reviews for amazon products, this seemed the best choice and we are not disappointed. It is a basic unit, but highly recommended for those needing an "easy read".

I bought one of these in June, and it was defective. It worked fine until the caller id reached call #99. After that I couldn't scroll back to see the recent calls because the order of calls became completely mixed up. I returned it to the company and they sent a new one which worked fine. I liked it a lot so I ordered another one in Sept '09 and the same thing happened. I called the company and spoke to a supervisor. He said that they had a problem with a large batch of them, and they will be getting in a new shipment in 2 months. I can hold onto my defective one and send it back to them in 2 months to be exchanged. They will not pay for your shipping fees to ship from you to them even though it is a defective product.
