The Toshiba FT8809 cordless phone is an excellent phone to buy when you are looking for a cordless phone with Caller ID. I also have another cordless phone, but it does not have Caller ID and is still working pretty good. I just wanted to have caller ID in the palm of my hand. With my old cordless phone I would always end up leaving the phone somewhere where I could not find it, so the feature on the Toshiba Cordless phone that enables you to locate/page your phone when you don't know where it is is a good feature to have. For you people who always seem to misplace things get this phone you won't ever have to worry about losing it in your home. And programming and/or saving numbers in this phone is very easy to do and not at all that complicated. Personally I did not have to look at the instructions. It is pretty much easier to program than a digital cell phone, although it works like a digital cell phone. The only thing I wish it had is a little red light that blinks repeatedly after new callers have called and you did not answer the phone or were not at home. You have to press the CID button (Caller ID) in order to see who called lately, it will say NEW CALLS:1 or so. But overall it is an excellent buy.

A nice little phone that meets all my needs. Clarity is much better than previous cordless.

A very nice little phone. Only problem is that we can't get the Caller ID to work. We have tried everything.
