Phone with CLI but no power adapter.

[ShaneC]

Does anyone know if you can purchase telephones that have a caller ID display but use a battery/powered from the line instead of a power pack. My parents telephone point is nowhere near a electrical socket.

Thanks for any pointers, ShaneC

Do you actually have to buy a new phone ?

Why not just buy a caller id box i.e.

Many of these run off standard batteries

Thanks for the idea, hadn't thought of that :thumbs: Managed to get one off eBay (http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-582776-5826355) for £1.99 delivered :)
