Question 1

Does this requires an AC adapter to work with or just the AAA batteries?

Accepted Answer

It only needs the batteries. Use alkalines like regular Duracell or Energizer Max. Non-alkaline batteries are not strong enough and the number display will not be solid enough to see.

Question 2

Do you have to have caller ID from your local phone provider or does this device bypass that need?

Accepted Answer

We have the caller ID service of our local provider and pay the extra for it. I did not know there was any way that you can bypass the service unless you are a pinball wizard that would know how to set it up for yourself. I do love the large display ID unit because it is also verbal so even if you don't see the screen it already will state the number that is calling - very nice feature.

Question 3

What is the size of the unit?

Accepted Answer

Hi, cant remember, but I did returned it, for some reason , it’s been quite a while, 4 yrs?? Sorry

Question 4

I have a bone head question, does the unit have 2 jacks for the two telephone wires? (From "wall" to "unit" to "telephone".)

Accepted Answer

Yes it does.  It has a non removable wire from unit to phone.  And it has a extra wire you can connect from unit into the wall.  We don't use it any more. While the Display is very large the caller information is not bold enough. Hard to see for an 82 year senior.  Hope this helps.
