[Electronics-talk] Cordless Phone:

Tue Nov 16 21:09:34 UTC 2010

Hi,

I have a stand alone talking caller ID that I got from Independent Living Aids that cost around $60.  It announces calls coming in on call waiting.

Do these Panasonic phones announce the caller-id of a call waiting call, in other words, when a second call comes in and one is on the line already?

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson
