[gui-talk] caller id

Sat Feb 27 21:38:47 UTC 2010

Please explain how these caller id's work for the blind. I've never had one
and so far I haven't seen sufficient detailed discription as to how it
works.

I think caller ID'S ARE GREAT!

I own three of them, two which are working and one which is a replacement.
