Jumbo Wireless Caller ID Display

Jumbo Wireless Caller ID Display

Most homes have multiple phones, but adding a caller ID display in every room can get costly. Now you can see who’s calling from any room in the house using a single caller ID display. How? By bringing it with you!

The Jumbo Wireless Caller ID Display doesn’t need to be attached to a phone cord to receive callers’ information, so you can bring it with you from room to room. Caller ID is a service your phone company will provide for a fee. The base unit is powered by an AC adapter, but it is recommended that four AAA batteries be installed for memory backup (batteries sold separately).

Net-based phones lure more users

Cocco’s Salt Lake City friends dial a different number, local to them. It, too, rings in his home. All his calls also simultaneously ring on Cocco’s cell phone, letting him stay connected while snowboarding the Utah slopes. Think of it as a kind of high-tech call-forwarding that lets the phone ring at home, too.

The phone system costs Cocco, 34, about $20 a month because he uses a fast-growing technology called Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP. VoIP calls travel over the Internet, much as e-mails do. That doesn’t mean Cocco is shouting into his computer. He just plugs a regular telephone into a special adapter, which is plugged into his home’s broadband connection.
