Wonderful research to share -does it speak a list of option such as press ` 1 to return last call; press 3 to redial.

The programming is tricky but you can do it using the caller id feature, and then go to the second option in the menu which is add to phonebook. There are three selections in that menu for adding entries. The caller id talks, and the numbers are announced when pressed during dialing. The phone comes with one base unit, and one portable. The cost is approximately $94.00 at best buy. Though you probably could get a better price on line. ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe Plummer To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 2:49 PM Subject: [tabi] home telephone! Hi, I am looking for a telephone for my home it or I would like it to have voice navigation and also speak the incoming call. I would like for it to have fairly good size keypad buttons, don't have to be real large ones but fairly good size. I would like it to have speaker phone. It could be corded or cordless. Anyone have any suggestions? Sign, JP ( Joe Plummer) joeplummer@xxxxxxx
