Emerson EM60 Large Display Talking Caller ID Box With 60 Numbers Memory

Great product and great customer service! Bought this for my Grandmother because she only likes the older regular corded phones with a separate caller ID that is not displayed anywhere on any part of the phone. lol! She just turned 90 two days ago and she loves the large display because it’s so much easier for her to read and she loves that you can turn off the sound and the light and have the light just turn on for a few seconds when someone calls at night!

Works well, and replaces an older model (that died of old age) by another manufacturer. I would have given it 5 stars except that the display is a little hard for me to read unless the room lighting is just right. However, it contains and displays all the information I need. Some previous models by other manufacturers I have had got flummoxed by some of the calling sites; this model seems to get it right every time, although I find it annoying that an increasing number of calling sites seem to block the calling information. Would I buy it again if I needed another? Yes, I would buy it again without hesitancy.

I absolutely love this product. I had one for a long time and one of the battery contacts broke off so had to get a new one. couldn't find any in stores any more (got mine at WalMart) as they seem to think people don't use land lines any ore but I DO. I love the large text and the announcing feature. the print on the phone itself is too small and light for me to read it so absolutely HAVE to have this item. THANK YOU AND KEEP MAKING THIS AVAILABLE I YEARS TO COME.

The Emerson Large Display Caller id product was defective. The number display showed only "parts" of the numbers, and the actual display was cut off at the left and unreadable. The vendor via email seemed fine and Maxi-aids agreed to processing a return but I had to provide my own return labelling and postage. I actually didn't know before this that Amazon doesn't cooridnate returns with outside vendors listed on the site, and as a result of my experience on this purchase, will never buy anything that lists a vendor as the purchase agent. It was a complete rip off. I've never had a problem with "Amazon" backed purchases, but with this product via this vendor, no refund was ever processed. I lost not only the product cost and shipping, but also return shipping to send the defective item back. Costly. Awful. Don't buy this product. Also, this vendor is not recommended.

Bought this for my dad's workshop in the basement. He has one of the old style bell telephones that he likes, but when he is downstairs he cannot tell who is calling and doesn't always like to stop what he is working on -- especially for all those unknown callers. This is large enough for him to see the numbers and the talking part works quite well, too. This is one of the best items I have ever purchased. The company that this item shipped to also has great customer service. Thank you all.

i have only used this Caller ID box 1 week but find I do not like it. While all the other caller ID's I have owned all had a light that stayed on or blinked indicating a new call or a message whereas this one only lights up when the call is coming in. You must review the box all the time to see if there are any missed calls. The second problem I have with it is the design. It is just plain clumsy looking. It just looks awful. As for it reliability at this point I do not know but when it no longer works I will not re-order this make. I liked the style and operation of the Fanstel but it only worked for 4 months before showing all 88888's, which I could not get rid of. So I will not buy that one again either.

The Emerson Caller ID unit was purchased for a person with poor sight. The speaking of the phone number of the caller is really nice. The only problem with the unit is the poor contrast of the LCD display. It is very hard to read the display, but not due to the size of the characters, but due to a poor contrast. I turned the contrast all the way up and unless you angle the display just right, it's nearly impossible to read. Since this unit is for someone with poor sight, I was a little more than disappointed with contrast, but very happy with the announce feature. The old unit was smaller but easier to read, so, consider that when you purchase one. Oh, don't forget to purchase your 4 AAA batteries. The unit has an AC adapter jack, but doesn't come with one. With the size of the Caller ID box, they should have used AA sized batteries, as they would have lasted longer. Pro: Talking Caller ID Large Display Lighted AC adapter can be used Con: Hard to read LCD due to poor contrast Smaller battery (AAA) Does not come with 5Volt AC adapter Since this unit is being used for a person with poor sight, the LCD is actually a major drawback. I have trouble reading it and my corrected vision is perfect. On the other hand, the announce feature is fantastic. It's too bad the LCD is so poor. She uses Caller ID for when a phone call comes in and she's on it with another person, she also uses it to call people back when she goes out. The 60 number memory is more than enough. Overall, I find the unit barely acceptable.

This is a great product. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is because you can't read it very well. The contrast need to be more. It would be nice if the names or area code were announced. The voice is very clear.

Great Product. Love it. However it was cheaper on Ebay.

Okay but, the blinking LED is kind of 'wimpy' in brightness. Also the LED color would have been better in a different color (such as Blue) instead of the Amber color!

Display hard to read.

This was terrible. My friend who is a senior couldn't see the display or hear it at all. Boooo

Large letters and numbers are great easy to see
