[Blindtlk] caller ID suggestions plz

[Bonnie Lucas]

Hi Julie,
At one time, I had a very simple one that just hooked up to the phone. If I 
can find it, I'd be happy to just give it to you. I'm sure it is in a 
give-away bag of stuff somewhere. If you will email me personally, we can 
talk about it. Also, some of the late model phones have an audible caller ID 
as well. that is one of the reasons we don't need ours anymore. If you have 
a fairly recent phone, you might have someone check the menues to see if 
there is an option for an audible caller ID.
Regards
Bonnie Lucas
