Summary: Don't buy it!
Review: After having this box for 6 months, it shorted out causing my phone line to go dead. The phone company came and said there was no problem with the outside lines. I unplugged the box and the line immediately came back. Everytime I plugged it back in - dead line. I am now purchasing a different brand. Other than that, the product works fine except for 2 major negatives. First, I wanted a caller ID box that had an electric adaptor. I didn't want to have to constantly change batteries and have an outlet near by. It would've even been okay if the adaptor was optional - I would've purchased it separately. This unit only works on batteries. The product description did not mention this. There is no optional adapter and no space to insert one. Second, the product says call waiting/ caller id. The call waiting / caller ID does not work. I definitely have this service on my phone line, and the feature did work on my previously installed Southwestern Bell caller ID box. Pluses: large display is easy to read and its easy to delete call numbers that you don't want to save.

Summary: Average Caller ID box
Review: Panasonic is a brand that usually means quality, leadership... and compatibility. Well, after I ordered the unit which matches my black phone perfectly, I discovered that the box does not show the name of the caller, only the number. I called my telco and verified that I had the caller ID + name service turned on and they advised that some caller ID boxes are not compatible with all telco equipment systems.

So, I like the design, the features, with the only exception that it does not support caller ID name. A small advice from me: call your telephone company and ask for them to recommend a brand for compatibility reasons.
