Hi Phil

Yes, wouldn't it be good if you could use it to text from the landline as well?

The only caller ID I know of is the one sold by RNIB, if it still exists?  
Never used one myself, so can't help you there.

  Subject: [access-uk] Talking caller id units


   Hi,

  on another search, this time for info re talking caller display units for use 
with our home phone system.

  I know Hagger used to do one but having looked on their website seems they 
don't anymore.

  have done some googling and found a few commercially produced units that look 
interesting but as ever can't find out much about their general accessibility.

  I wonder if there's anyone on list who uses a talking caller id unit and if 
so which one you use, where you got it, what it's like etc.

  I guess what we really need is a digital cordless home phone that works like 
a mobile with talks on it but I don't think such a device exists yet.

  Anyway your comments greatly appreciated as ever.

  thanks,

  Phil
