Hi All,
Here is a recent ad that was posted on The Blind Post Classified News
that might help some of you:
I have cordless telephones with digital answering system and built in
talking caller i.d. with multiple handsets and chargers. I also have
simple talking caller i.d. boxes. Call me, Richard, at 434 372 5787 or
email me at rwstone48 at verizon.net
and we can do some business. Free shipping!

Sincerely,
