Hi Claudia, I guess it would depend on how much you wanted to spend and what type of features you were looking for in a phone aside from the answering machine.
There is a couple of models that Panasonic makes that offers you talking caller I.D., however this talking caller I.D. isn't relegated to call waiting, meaning if you're on the phone and your second line goes, it won't tell you who's calling on the other line. Having said that, if the phone is charging on the cradle, it does tell you who is calling using a female voice. There are various models, and, I believe they all begin with the letter K in the model number. These phones are cordless models, and you can get them with as many handsets as you would like. Radio Shack currently has a sale on them, and each additional handset costs 20 dollars. You basically have the main unit sitting somewhere in the house, and the other handsets sitting anywhere else you want to place it, with only a little charger as it's base. Some come with large screens and some come with a digital answering machine. They will run you anywhere between 79 and 175 dollars U. S. depending on the model and the number of handsets you get. Obviously, I don't have to tell you that it comes with the one handset with the main unit, and some are sold as sets containing about three handsets in total. They are speaker phones, although the less expensive models may not be. In any case, hope this helps, and if you need more information, I can look up the model number, as I have the model manual I downloaded for a friend of mine who bought that model at Radio Shack in Cleveland.
