Do you have an I.D. Caller on your Phone?

I dont have caller id on my phone. I was going to get it, but really dont' need an extra bill. I do use *69 many times to see who was trying to call me when I am on the other line. If it is a private number, I figure it is someone who I really didnt' want to talk to anyways.

I don't have caller I.D. on my phone. I am always online so my phone never gets the chance to ring really. I have lovely dialup. We work nights and sleep during the day so I turn off my phone and my answering machine so we can sleep. It would ring off of the hook if I didn't. I have a cell phone if they need to get a hold of me and it is important though.

I have caller i.d. because i like to know who is calling. It is worth the cost for me.

I use to have caller id before my youngest daughter ran my phone bill up to over $800, and then when I couldn't pay it off, they took that away. I'm still trying to pay it off and this has been since August of last year. At least they didn't take my phone service away, but I did lose my DSL too. Yes I know about the *67 feature.

We have caller ID, it was included in our land-line phone plan. My phone also has different ring-tones that I can set for different people (well, like 10 or so) just like my cell phone did so I can set my husbands so I know it's him calling without even looking at the phone and ignore all other calls. (Of course, sometimes it's him I want to ignore- hahaha!) Voice mail was an extra charge, but only like $1 or so...and we don't need it anyway because the phone we bought has a built in answering machine. Would I have either of those if I had to pay the fees you listed? No, I don't think I would.

I used to have caller i.d. and miss it very much! It is expensive but worth it

On my cell phone, yes. Land-line phone, no. The land line phone is something I only have because my cable company (Cox) doesn't have a package with only Internet and TV, and it would actually be $10 more expensive to not have the phone then to have the phone. Rediculous eh? As for Caller ID, I never officially had it until 1998, because before then I lived in a city where, though it was available, I had a hard time getting it. I recall buying a caller ID box and signing up for it, then not getting the number when someone called, so I returned it and cancelled the service. I personally recall wishing it existed for us back in 1992 when someone was harassing my family over something that is a very long story. Then again, I'm glad it didn't, nor did we try tracing the line, because I recall being so enraged (because I just knew who it was but couldn't prove it) that if they had found out the phone number belonged to this person, I would've been in my car before you could blink, baseball bat in tow, to go do some permanent damage, and that would've had me landed in some serious trouble...so call it divine intervention.

I have a caller ID capable phone, but I don't have the service on my landline. It's a luxury that I'd love to have like on my cell phone, but I just can't afford it right now. One of these days, though, I'm going to get it. But, very few people call me, so I just screen my calls through the answering machine.

We do have Caller ID on our phone. It comes with our package deal so we do use it. Bruce uses it more than I do, though. He just won't answer if he does not know the caller. I use it for the phone numbers stored and the 'call back.'

On my home phone I do have caller ID, I like having it but I do not want the voice mail because if someone leaves a message then I still have to call them back, I prefer having an answering machine so if someone calls that I do not know while they are leaving a message I have the option of picking up the phone and talking to them, saving me the trouble to call them back and I don't have to pay the phone company money for their voicemail service. Does your phone company offer unlimited calling plans? Mine does, it costs $32.00 a month for unlimited calling anywhere in the US and it includes caller ID, three way calling and call forwarding. Voice mail costs extra.

Yea, I have. You are talking about house phone? Yes. And mobile phone? Yes. Most mobile phones will need caller id lol. They used to offer it free but now they want to charge 5 bucks every month. Money grubbers!! I am fortunate that I am on some super loyalty discount so I get 50% off this old, old, old plan that is supposedly worth twice more (caller id is free).

You bechca! I screen all my calls. I can't stand pesky telemarketer. I also hate bill collectors. I dislike being interrupted when I'm working on line so I only answer when a client or my kids call. I cannot imagine how I got along without it. My answering machine is independent of my phone service so I have no fee for usage. I have no grand children and do not suffer your plight. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you resolve your situation someday. Thanks for speaking out, you are brave to do so.

I have caller ID, voicemail, call forward, call block, call waiting, and several other features like you can't call me with a private # it has to be unblocked to get through, but my phone company offers a bundle deal. We pay like about $40 for all features. They call it complete connections. I thought most phone companies did that. I guess I was mistaken, if I had to pay the much I don't think I would have them. On our service *67 will block your # from showing up on others caller ID's if your not private already and *82 will unblock if you are private. To me that is outrageous pricing.

Caller ID comes with my phone service. I am currently using Vonage (can you use company names on this site?). So I get all of these wonderful features included in my monthly bill! I must say, caller ID does come in handy. To know who's calling is great. If you don't have it, I believe it's worth the cost!

well here in india, the caller id service is free..... for the service, *67 i dunno whether this is applicable here or not??? btw,which country do u belong to?

Yes we do have. Mostly if the calling number is unknown, my mom would just not answer it. it gets really irritating cause i need to send her an sms before i would call from a different number! I told her she needs to answer them all cause you'll never know emergency cases...

i do have a phone wid a caller id coz my dad doesnt like anyone giving blank calls & harassing us. but we dun have to pay nething for that , coz that is inbuilt in the phone.

I have it because there is stupid people calling hours about selling so I love having it. It does cost a little money but it's so handy. Make sure you pay your bill so you don't get services disconnected though because that's a mess. Pablo

Hi Sweets I do have it but is all part of my digital phone package. They don't have a package without it. xoxoxoxoxoxxo

Hello there marciascott, I have an I.D caller on my phone and from the place and country that I'm at which is Singapore, the charges for a caller id isn't that expensive. I think it is around $5-$10 depending on which telecommunication one subscribes here. But on the other hand, I think that features like voice-mail is certainly useless for myself since in my line of work, I don't really have time to even listen to the voice-mails that are recorded. So, I end up using a lot of text messages facility at the end of the day to catch up with the people that had contacted me. However, having an id caller is really a plus point because it allows me to check whose calling and etc since there were quite a few times that I didn't use this function and I ended up getting lots of prank calls from strange ladies that I certainly couldn't recall where I gave the number to. But one not so good thing about caller id in Singapore usage itself, I wouldn't be able to trace all th private numbers that call. Since the user on the other side has subscribed to anonymous facility, so it is quite a hassle to be having a caller id that couldn't trace back some of these nuisance calls or even urgent calls from my family members.
