Hi Richard, It is hard to say, as they set up the phone for me in the store. All I know is that it did it after my Apple ID was used to register the phone... So I thought about checking to see if this is the problem, but I can't imagine why the guys at the store wouldn't suggest this as well... And what could it be in the Apple ID that would cause this trouble? That's the part I can't figure out.
Plus my wife's phone is doing this as well, and she has her own Apple ID and has the same problem.

I mean just as a factory phone with just VoiceOver on, but no personal settings at all? exactly which model phone is it? If it does speak the code stufh without any of your settings, then I'd keep asking for another phone until you find one that doesn't do that. If it only starts after you sign in with your Apple ID, or setup your mail, etc. then it is clear that there is a problem with your account. sounds like a royal pain ...
