The CID works properly if I'm on a call and someone else calls simultaneously. The CID also works if plugged into the cable box through my tv. I have tried buying two new phones, but I get the same result. Does anyone know of a potential solution? This problem is mind boggling and the phone company is no help.

I've been happy with Callcentric, www.callcentric.com, who provide a la carte VoIP services. They have local Phoenix numbers and you can set up call treatments to do simultaneous ringing of both outgoing numbers and VoIP extensions (the latter working well on wifi.) If you don't answer, they have free voicemail which can e-mail you the recorded message. You can set up something usable for $5/mo, more like $10/mo if you want a flat rate minute bundle.
