It is an analog phone adapter. He says they don't sell them. He also says
they need to be on their own line. He suggested you get a Google voice
number and try forwarding the calls to that so it can ring in both places
and you could hook up a talking caller ID to the other number, but that's
the only way he could see to make it work.

The ATA could be something like the box that we use to connect to our
router for our phone service here at home. I may be completely off
base, but maybe it's an analog phone adapter? I'm just guessing though.

I use an IP phone that’s been converted with a network card inside the

Hi.
If you have enough bandwidth for two calls, you can get an ATA that will
plug into the Ethernet connection, and give you a regular analog port.
It wouldn't work for fax or modem or alarms.
You'd have to find someone who could tell you if you can use an ATA on
your voip service, and setup the ATA for you.

Just searched your site for ATA and didn’t find it. Feeling stupid, but I
don’t know the acronym. There is enough band width, and I think I could
get the settings from my phone itself. I don’t think they are hidden, but
what is an ATA. How expensive? Send me a link! I am visually impaired
and want to try to configure a talking caller ID to attach to the VOIP
phone.
So far no response.

No it is not a standard phone jack. The phones connect to the network.

Hi all. My new work has an IP phone system. Does anyone make one of
these with a talking caller ID? Or is there a talking ID that can
connect to these kinds of phones?
Thanks.
