I hit the Floor today when my friend told me she doesn't have caller ID. damm I can;t imagine anyone without caller id in 2006. Anyone on here don;t have caller id?

I don't at my house, I have it on my cell though. It's not really needed, and if you're watching your spending it cuts a few dollars off the phone bill each month, which can add up...

I couldn't live without it. It determines if I pick up the phone or not, which is helpful when you're avoiding someone.

I know someone, me. I don't see the need for it. I just let my answering machine pick it up and if its someone who really wants to talk to me they would leave a message and I will pick it up.

So THAT'S why I'm always getting the machine. :mad:

:snob: You can just leave a message and maybe I'll return it when I get it.

I agree

I need caller ID, especially on my call waiting because it will let me know whether or not to click over

Nope, I don't have it either. I screen my calls with the answering machine. As others have said, if they really want to talk to me they'll say something.

I didn;t think people had those type of answering machines anymore that you plug into the wall.

I am the same way. I remember when I lived with my sister, she would give me so much crap about that. She'd get annoyed just because I didn't want to pick up the phone when certain people would call. Anyway, MOST people who would call were USUALLY for my sister, so I just got tired of saying, "She's not here." Eh. They can always call her back later anyway.... It was to the point where I would have to "pretend" I didn't hear it or get to it in time. I just couldn't do that all the time without looking like I was deaf or something. It had to be believeable.... :lol:

The only phone I am currently using is my cellphone, and it has caller ID. I am dependent on it.

I wont pay $8 to add caller id. I have it free on my vonage and cellphone though, but if I had to pay I wouldn't have it.

Nope. We all have it. Hell, even on my $15 cell phone i have it :lol:

Answering machine? u mean the bulky box with a cartridge in it?

I can't live without my caller ID/Anonymous Call Reject. I remember back in the dayz picking up the phone and rolling my eyes when it was someone I didn't want to talk to...:cuss: thank God for caller ID. If they really want to talk to me, they can leave a message on my voice mail.

It is not that big at all. In fact there isn't even a mini cassete for it. It has a built in part for it where it remembers the messages without a tape. The anwering machine is just the stand where you charge the phone.

I thought I told you not to reply to my threads anymore?-lol

Yes. We pay $800 a month almost for our cells and landmine phones, at that point the extra $5 doesnt matter.

What, you have a landmine phone? That's pretty dangerous.

I was just joking with you-lol

I know.:p

my grandparents

Some of my older relatives don't have it. Other than them, everyone I know has it.

Why are you so surprised that people don't have caller ID?... I know several that only have basic telephone service for emergency cases or to get DSL through the company. Most people nowadays use their cells as their primary phones.

I wont pay $8 to add caller id. I have it free on my vonage and cellphone though, but if I had to pay I wouldn't have it.

I totally agree... it costs at least $7 or $8 to have just the number alone show up here. Though days after we got rid of it, I kept looking at the phone waiting for the number to show up... force of habit, I guess...

I have it on my cell cuz it is just a feature on the phone but we dont have it at my house.

Just on my cell phone; but not on our phones at our house. We barely get very many phone calls anyway. My parents have never said they wanted it before. It's not like anyone has ever constantly called us and harrassed us.

My father-in-law doesn't have it. I keep trying to talk him into getting it, but nothing I say works.

The only person I can think of is my grandma.

I don't have one lol

We don't have Caller Id.:o

I dont, either.
