Don't Let Unwanted Phone Calls Interrupt the Big Game
 |
It's just minutes before the end of the fourth quarter. The score is tied and your team is just 20 yards away from their opponents' goal line. Suddenly, just as the game clock starts again, the phone rings. Could it be the pizza guy calling because he can't find your house? Or is it just your annoying brother-in-law Earl calling to ask a favor (or borrow more money)? With a few easy-to-use products, you'll be able to see who's calling — all without taking your eyes off the TV! Keep reading to see how�

Our favorite product for making sure the game isn't interrupted by an unwanted caller is the TV Messenger, which overlays Caller ID information on the top left-hand corner of the TV screen — without covering the rest of the screen! Just hook it up to a phone line, and connect between your TV and a set-top box (i.e. cable box, satellite receiver, VCR), and now when the phone rings, you'll see instantly if it's the important caller you've been waiting for, or your pain-in-the-neck mother-in-law.
And like most other Caller ID devices, the TV Messenger logs the last 99 calls you've received in case you want to see who called when you weren't home. A red LED flashes when new calls have been received.
The TV Messenger is available with or without a remote control. We recommend the version with the remote control for full access from the sofa.
Note: The TV Messenger requires a subscription to Caller ID service from your telephone service provider.

If you want to be able to see who's calling from the sofa, but don't want to integrate it with your TV, then the Big Digit Caller ID Display is an excellent choice. With an extra-large display, it's easy to read even from several yards away.
Note: The Big Digit Caller ID Display requires a subscription to Caller ID service from your telephone service provider.
