[Electronics-talk] Talking Caller ID for land line

[Annette Carr]

For almost 10 years now we have used the Panasonic phones that you can get
at places like BestBuy.  I don't feel that the voice quality is as much as a
problem as what the phone company has programed into their system for the
caller's name.  Between 5-10 years ago I was aware of a Panasonic model that
had a male voice talking caller ID for all incoming calls which included
call waiting.  I think it is part of Panasonic's business line of phones and
cost around $300.  

We currently have an AT&T home phone with talking caller ID and I do not
like it.  Plus I do not like the extra big buttons on the phone.  I find
that it makes navigating the keyboard and dialing the phone difficult.  I am
so used to just resting 3 fingers on the 4, 5 & 6 keys and just moving a
finger up or down to get to the needed key.  The buttons on this AT&T phone
are so big that I have to slide my one finger from button to button.

HTH,
Annette

Hi All,
I have a friend who bought the talking caller ID from Maxi Aids. She was
very disappointed to discover that it had very poor voice  quality as well
as it does not speak the numbers out loud when she receives an incoming call
with call waiting. Does anyone know where to buy one for a land line phone
that will announce all calls, even those coming in through call waiting. It
would also be helpful if it would read back the numbers aloud. 
I bought one many years ago and thankfully it still works, but Have not been
able to find one recently. 
Thank you for your help.
