Caller ID - 2 Types? Al Franz 05-01-05

Have 2 different caller id boxes. They both were working. I was having
line noise problems so the phone company came out and fixed my line and now
caller id only works on one of the boxes? I can switch the boxes to
different lines and the same machine always fails. What could it be. Weird
that this definitely started to behave this way after my phone line was
worked on?

Any ideas?

One possible idea, on the troublesome caller ID reverse the 2 lines
going to tha that box (I use a Radio Shack wall mount phone jack to
handle this). I haven't had this trouble with my CID unit but I recall
other devices not having reverse polarity on the house wiring.
