Caller ID announce

The caller ID announce feature lets you know who's calling without having
to look at the display. When you have an incoming call, the handset and/or
base speaks "Call from..." and the name of the caller based on the directory
or caller ID information. If the caller's name is private or unknown, the phone
number up to the last 11 digits will be announced. If the caller's phone
number is also private or unknown, no information will be announced. The
default setting is On.
