[Electronics-talk] Cordless Phone:

Tue Nov 16 05:47:36 UTC 2010

at our house, we have a panasonic KX-TG6444 which seems to work 
fairly well.  It's got 4 handset, built-in base dial pad, and 
talking CID.  It was $149.99 at amazon.com, on August 30th.

I tried searching for that item with the model number but was 
unsuccessful.

Will you give more information? Thanks.

I got a panisonic KXTG6582 Last summer and it announces both name 
and
number
 without anychanges out of the box.  This model is also blue 
tooth and
 picks
 up my cell when I come into the house.  Panisonic has a pdf of 
the manual
 on-line and also a doc file that describes all the buttons.

Panasonic
 website.

 Sorry, I can't answer that.  I set them up several years ago 
with some
 sighted assistance, and I don't remember if they just worked 
that way
 or if we had to tweak something.

 Also, your phone company needs to provide you with the extra
 information.  This is sometimes an extra service called things 
like
 "extended caller ID"

 Good Luck,

 Jim

 I really like the Panasonic phones.  They're cordless, so I can 
have
 them throughout the house, so I can hear the caller ID wherever 
I
 am.

 Also, the Panasonic phone announces the name and number of the 
person
 calling me.  I haven't found a talking caller ID box that will 
do
 this.  I'd love to hear of one.  There are some that will 
announce
 contacts that you've put into them, but none that will announce 
the
 name and number off the caller ID signal.

 If someone wanted to review who called them, then you'd need a 
caller
 ID box.  BTW, you can have both.  The phone to get extra 
information
 and more places that announce the caller ID; and the talking 
caller ID
 box that lets you review who has called.

 Take Care,

 Jim

 you will be able to hear the voice a few rooms away depending on 
the
 volume setting.

 There is only one basic phone with a talking ID.  It is made by
 Panasonic
 and it provides a limited amount of information.  This device 
only
 provides information in audio about the name of the person 
calling
 when
 the telephone is ringing.  You are not able to hear a call log 
or find
 out who called when you were not near the phone.  In addition, 
none of
 the menus on the device are accessible.  This is only available 
as the
 call is coming in.  FCC regulations have resulted in this; so, 
the FCC
 declared this an "ADA" telephone.  It is sold at a limited 
amount of
 electronic stores.  This item retails for about $100.00
 Good luck.

 Hi friends,

 I'm seeking a cordless phone or phones with talking
 ID.  Is there one more "blind friendly" than others?
 Thanks in advance for any idea you share with me.

 Best wishes,

 Rollie
