[Electronics-Talk] caller ID box

[Shannon Cook]

We have a stand-alone talking caller ID box that works with call waiting too.  We got it from Speak to me a few years ago.  Sorry, I don't know the brand, but it was a common one at that time.

Shannon Cook, MSW

Doesn't the talking call waiting have to come from your phone company?  I have never known of a talking caller id that does that.  And I don't think there are talking caller ids left.  Maybe in a panasonic phone, but not definitely.  But it would only say the person who was calling when you are not on the phone.  If I am wrong, I'm sure somebody will correct me.  Pam.

Hi,

I want one that will work with call waiting and have not found one like that yet.  My Panasonic cordless phone has caller ID that speaks the name or number but, not on call waiting.

I believe this unit is fine; just a caution that Amazon also sells a very cheap unit (under $10) which more often that not, simply says "Florida call"
or other useless phrases, and will not speak the number.  I tried to return it and the company wanted almost the entire purchase price as a return shipping fee.

I've been told the Emerson could always be made to speak the number in case it said something like this, but the really cheap unit could not be made to speak the number, and had no call log.

Hello,

Amazon advertises a large print talking caller id by Emerson for around $17.
Here is the link.

Hello all: I just got a new phone for Christmas. However, it doesn't have talking caller ID. Does anyone have a box they would be lwillling to sell or give to me. Or, does anyone know where they sell talking caller ID boxes?



Thanks in advance.
