The only thing I knew about it was the old phone they had with the big round high buttons, and that your monthly fee was high for a small amount of minutes.  I also know that at that time, anyway, if you wanted to change settings, you had to have them do it from their office.  If that has changed, then somebody will have to correct me.  Pam.

One can speak commands but I don't know whether they have a TTS to read back information.  I wish you the best in your search!
