Hi Jim,

About the only mainstream land line phone that I know of is the Panasonic 
model of cordless phones with the model numbers beginning with KX.  There is 
one with the letters KX-TG and those also have the feature, however, the 
only accessibility feature on all those phones are the fact that they come 
with talking caller I.D. right out of the box, with no need to set it up or 
anything.

The particular model I have actually tells you when the phone needs to be 
charged up with a male voice, and the caller I.D comes through with a female 
voice.  Be aware that the battery low message does not come on all of these 
model phones, so it's actually hit and miss.

I could check the model number of the one I have and get back to you, so let 
me know.  These model phones are cordless in nature, meaning there are no 
corded models, and require an external power source that the plug must plug 
into.

Lastly, the base is expandable to up to six handsets, and in some cases, the 
package already comes with three handsets in the box, and the handsets only 
need to sit on their respective chargers, as no phone line is required for 
the expanded handsets, so all you need to do is plug in the chargers and 
leave them alone.  I would recommend you place each of the extra handsets on 
the base for a few seconds, though, if only to re-code them to the proper 
base frequency, but once that's done, you simply have to place the other 
handsets in their chargers and that's it.

They range in price from 99.99 at Radio Shack to up to 199.99 for the triple 
handset model.

I should note that Radio Shack is currently having a sale on this model 
phone for 99.99, so you may want to check this out.

Other than that, I have never heard of a totally accessible phone.  As Dave 
said, if you hear of one, please forward that information to the list.

Oh, and just in case you're not aware of this, Radio Shack is now The Source 
By Circuit City, so if you don't see a Rad Shack in your neck of the woods, 
try looking for the Source.

Hope this helps.
