Customer Review: Randomly blocks incoming calls
Summary: 1 Stars
At first the caller ID box seemed to work fine. I especially liked to redial feature. However, I started having people tell me that they had tried to call me earlier but got my fax machine. The thing is, I don't have a fax machine. I dismissed this as an oddity, but then I had a friend call me on my cell to tell me that they had been trying to get me all day on my regular phone but it was busy. Which again shouldn't have happened, because I was not on the phone. I then used my cell phone to call my house phone and I got a fax signal. I tried again, and this time I got a busy signal. I tried again and it finally rang through. So it was basically hit or miss if a call made it through.
The phone company came out and determined it was the caller ID box that was the problem. Once removed the phone worked fine. They did say that caller ID boxes should work on the line without creating this issue. Most likely, this was going on the moment I installed the called ID box. However, since it did not affect outgoing calls I was unaware of the problem until I started getting complaints from friends. As a result, you might want to call yourself every so often to ensure that the called ID box isn't causing the incoming callers to get a fax signal or busy signal.
Unfortunately, after this experience I have lost faith in the product. It's just not worth having to wonder if it is blocking calls, or having to call yourself to ensure the product is still working. I had the product less than two months (return policy is 14 days). So if you purchase this product, I suggest calling yourself a couple of times each week to ensure it is still working correctly due to the narrow return window.
