Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The device requires a couple of physical connections (landline plug-in, cell phone placement) and some configuration of flash patterns or tones, which takes a few minutes but is well within what most users can handle with the included instructions. No professional is needed, but it's slightly beyond pure plug-and-play due to the dual-phone setup and pattern configuration.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026

This device detects incoming calls from both a landline and a cell phone, then triggers a visible flashing light alert so you don't miss a call without hearing the ring. It works by plugging a landline directly into the unit and placing a cell phone in the cradle, where the vibration from an incoming call activates the flash. You can configure different flash patterns or audible tones to distinguish which type of call is coming in. This is a complete, plug-and-use alerting solution — no additional hardware or apps required — though it's designed for people who still use a landline alongside a cell phone, so it may not fit a cell-only household without the landline component.
