[Electronics-Talk] [EXTERNAL] phone with caller ID

[S L Johnson]

Hello:

I have the Panasonic Model KXDG-4731.  It comes with an answering machine 
that you will need sighted help to set up.  Right out of the box it will 
answer calls and you can delete messages but you will need sighted help to 
change any of the options and to set the time and date.  This model has the 
cordless phone in the base and two additional phones.  It is a Bluetooth 
phone so you can place the extra phones anywhere you have an electric outlet 
with no need for a phone jack.  On the phone itself none of the menus talk 
so they are useless to you unless you get someone else to set up speed 
dialing for you.  You will not be able to read any of the missed call 
information, caller ID logs or anything else this phone might do that I do 
not know about.  The caller ID will talk for an incoming call but, not when 
the phone is in use and if you have call waiting.  This shows up in print 
but does not talk.  It would be nice if someone would manufacture a landline 
corded or cordless phone that would have all the features talking.  I know 
it will probably never happen but, I guess I can dream can't I?

Panasonic makes several models of phones, and the model numbers constantly 
change. Also, the descriptions on Amazon are far from complete, and do not 
refer to any talking functions.

You might, if you havenâ?Tt already looked into it, consider some models of 
Panasonic cordless phones with answering systems. I donâ?Tt have any model 
#s, but theyâ?Tre available from Amazon, so you might want to see if any of 
them fits your requirements. Granted, you canâ?Tt use them independently out 
of the box, but after you get some training, theyâ?Tre pretty nifty!
