Hi,
We have 2 stand alone talking caller id boxes that unfortunately are not made anymore. They both work with call waiting. One is the good old Classco and the other is an Astra. So sad how these and land line phones are going away for most people or just not being made anymore.

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.
