Hi, David;
Thanks. Is it a free-standing unit one can attach to any landline, or is a
phone included? I’m guessing by the price no phone is included. If that’s the
case, I may consider purchasing one for each of my phones, provided there’s a
way to connect them directly. Thanks. Take care.
Lillian

I would suggest that you get a talking caller id. It would be worth spending
the money on it in the long run. I will find out where my companion got it from
for me last Christmas, and how much it cost.

Hi, Folks;
I get all manner of ad calls insisting I called certain numbers relating to
medical equipment which I didn't. I have a very strict policy regarding anyone
who doesn't speak the second after I pick up and say hello. I say "Speak up now
or I'm hanging up" Then I hang up if nobody speaks by that time. I don't have
caller id. I would get it but my companion insists it's not necessary. Anyway,
I certainly will report a call like you got if I get one. Glad it didn't cause
you any problems. Take care. .

Good afternoon everyone,
We've received similar calls ourselves. We told them we were going to get the
Texas Attorney General on the line and they can explain it all to his/her
officde. The call abruptly ended.

I never answer my phone unless I recognize the number. If some one
has something to say to me, they can leave a message and I will get back to
them. How ever this afternoon was no different with my policy. I received a
call telling me that my lisence key in my computer has expired. I took down
the mumber, and I called the legitament number to the real micro soft
disabilities number and let them know what happened and they took down the
report. The correct number to call them at is 1-800-936-5900, and let them
know if you have received that kind of call.
