One thing I really miss from my landline days is Talking Caller ID. I still get talking caller ID with my Panasonic phones, but it speaks the number, not the person's name, since googlevoice doesn't supply Caller ID names, only the number.
One workaround is to store your friends and frequent callers in your phone's Address Book. Then it will display the person's name for numbers stored, even though the phone service is not providing the caller's name.
I have 4 different models of older Panasonic phones. 3 of them have talking caller ID, but they still just display and speak the numbers, not the names, even though I have names stored in the address book. I have one slightly newer model of Panasonic phone, and it WILL display the names of callers in the address book, but it is not a Talking Caller ID phone. So, I get the names, but not the talking.
If you're still with me
, here's my question...
Does anyone know of a phone that has Talking Caller ID and will do so based on names stored in the Address Book? If so, can you tell me the model number? (Panasonic preferred).
Any other creative solutions to Caller ID?
Thanks!
