[Electronics-talk] Cordless Phone:

Tue Nov 16 12:55:21 UTC 2010

there are buttons for both.  They showed me how to do it, so now 
I just walk over and do it.  There is also a way to do it from 
either of the 4 handsets.

How do you turn on the answering machine feature and how do you 
play back
the messages if you use it?

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 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.

 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

 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
