Zues Phonstuff has introduced its Always-in-Touch unit, a device that plugs into a home or office phone line and notifies a pager of a call when the phone user is away. The pager displays the caller’s phone number and indicates when there is a message on the answering machine, the company said. The unit can also contact the pager when the caller hangs up without leaving a message. Zues Phonstuff said the unit is activated by plugging it into a phone line and keying in the paging number. The unit monitors the phone like an answering machine and works with any phone accessory. After someone calls, the unit dials the pager using the same line, and the pager displays the caller’s phone number and the duration of the call, the company said. Caller ID service is required for the caller’s phone number to be displayed automatically. Otherwise, callers enter their phone number manually, the company said. (800) 240-4637.
