The caller ID box I have will hold 10 calls in it's memory.  

When a call comes in, it displays the number for about 10-20 seconds,
then the display reads "CALL" until you actually review the numbers
later.  To delete a call, you hit the delete key twice.  To review
calls, you hit the review key, which cycles you back in time
call-by-call.  The first time you cycle through a given call, a little
"NEW" indicator appears.  To see the time and date of the call, you
hit the Time-And-Date key.

Calls remain on the box until you delete them, or memory is full.
When the memory if full, a new call will push the oldest call out of
memory.

If a given phone number calls you twice before you review, only the
latest time and date is kept and a "REPEATED CALL" flag is activated.
Note that if you have an old call with the same number, it is
considered a separate call from the new one, and the repeated call
flag is not activated.  This way, if Aunt Grace keeps calling you, she
doesn't bump all other calls out of memory.

Any other questions?  Send mail to msmith@topaz.rutgers.edu
