Mine also came with a deal from the local provider. But had me call
the order-desk at the manufacturer to arrange shipping myself:
Collonial Data Technology 800-622-5543
The model they sent me is the CDT2000. Its black name/number unit
with 85 memory locations (or 93 depending upon which figure in the
literature you believe). It's a bit wide (about 8 inches), with the
usual review up/down, delete, contrast. The call-wait ID seems to
work fine. In fact, for some reason, cellular calls never issued
caller ID (and still don't), but now I get the ID info ONLY IF THE
CALL ARRIVES DURING CALL WAIT. A quick DVM test during on-hook
proved that the info is only sent during call-wait rings (odd?!?)
Supposedly this unit sells for $80, but was reduced to $36 with the
NYNEX call feature packagae (which can be cancelled after one month).
There is probably some truth to that, because the same offer allows
you to choose a 128# memory NON-Call wait ID for free, istead of the
call-wait model. That NON-ID model is a top of the line $49 variety.
