sounds to me like it could be snookered. the cobolt one is strange isn't it as you have toput the numbers in first or something so it knows them and you can only put so many in, is the rnib one different i have a stand alone talking caller id from rnib but i can't remember how much i paid for it, we were being pesteredsomething cronic by an 0800 number, i'd tried answering but saying nothing but leaving the line open but that didn't work, tried throwing the hanset in a box with the line open and that didn't work either, i then pressed the button on the caller id so they could hear their own phone number, that did it, haven't had them call again since!! ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Godfrey-McKay To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2012 5:52 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: TALKING CALLER ID Yes Eleanor, that's the one. It's odd because it registers incoming calls, but annoyingly doesn't now announce them as the calls come in.

Are you referring to the Caller ID purchased many years ago for around £30.00 from RNIB? I have one of these. What is the matter that it is not working properly? Guess I do not have to state the obvious, is the cable from it to the phone in tact?
