Hi Malcolm, I have got the talking cordless phone and have set it up, the only thing is that its not connected to a line yet. Its very easy to set up, you get voice prompts in everything you do. You can turn off that feature once you learn to use the phone or have no speech when pressing any key. That's as far as I have got with the phone for now. Will send in more updates once I come to using the phone book feature etc. Hope that helps. Senn.
