Hi Clive You could consider the Powertel cordless phone which costs around the £90 mark from RNIB? It speaks the caller ID and menus, and allows you to have up to four compatible handsets linked to it which they sell separately. I know there are other cheaper models out there, but some features won't be accessible unfortunately.

I am looking to replace our landline phones. We have a pair of them, one upstairs one down. Each consists of a base unit anda removable handset. Are there any phones out there that would give us asimilar arrangement, but with either talking menus and/or talking caller IDdisplays, but which wouldn't cost ten times as much as a sighted person would pay to have caller ID and look at the numbers of recent callers and choose which ones to ring back? Probably asking for the moon here, but our old, not-really-fully-accessible phones have just about had it.
