Talking caller ID with Asterisk

[Janina Sajka]

Yes, this is possible. It is also possible to turn the caller ID into a
custom ring tone--if your phone supports that, as my Snom320 does.

We're going to set up an Asterisk Tips and Tricks page at the
SpeakupModified shortly. We can share a couple versions of talking
caller ID scripts, and some guidance on how to set up what you're asking
about. Unfortunately, it's knowledge that's doesn't all live with one
person--so a little page is probably the thing to do.

Lets say I get an incoming call and when i pick up the phone the caller ID is automatically spoken. I know that Asterisk can read the caller ID but i dont want the other person to hear it. If the call is important I can press 1 to accept it, other wise it will go to voicemail. Any ideas?
