 No Competition if You Need It November 24, 2006

I have had the previous generation of this phone for 5 years and have just replaced it.
Pros:
1) If you need 4 lines, this is the only game in town. They used to make a 2 line one, but no longer.
2) There is a headset jack on the base unit, which is very rare, and which is the reason I was willing to pay for this unit. And you can switch among headset, handest and speaker phone with no switching noise - very unusual.
3) Excellent sound, and it's perfectly quiet going from one line to another - no transition noise.
4) Unlike some, there is no cross-talk between the 2 lines. If you have one person on hold and are talking to another, the first party won't hear the other conversation.
5) Obvious quality build.
6) Battery backup good for a while.
Cons:
1) Cordless range only so-so for a high-end unit.
2) BIG CON: The number pads on the cordless units are somewhat delicate and after a couple of years start being a bit harder to press or stop responding at all. The authorized repair place I used said that this isn't uncommon with these phones. Repair (including shipping) was going to be enough that I just bought a new/extra cordless unit to use with it.
There are 2 new features, the ablility to MUTE a call and the ability to record a call. The lack of a MUTE button on the base unit of the previous generation was strange in a unit of this type.
 Such a disappointing phone! December 16, 2006

I had high hopes for this phone. I needed a 3 line phone, voice mail, etc. and I wanted a speakerphone in each handset. I thought this was the one. WRONG!
I can't believe after all these years since the last 4 line phone, this is all they could come up with!
PROBLEMS:
1. You can't adjust ringer volume per line on the base unit. All 4 lines have the same volume. What if you didn't want to hear lines 3&4 ring? Nope.
2. If someone picks up line 2 for example from a different phone in the house, you cannot pick it up too on the base. It says "BUSY".
3. The answering machine 'RECORDS' hang ups. I've never had a panasonic machine do this. You get all these 'false' messages that are just hangups, etc.
4. Everytime you check your messages remotely (from outside the house), you have to acknowledge: 'press 1 for english, 2 for spanish". Every time! I already set the phone to english. Why do I have to do this everytime i call for messages?
5. Sound quality of recording not as good as the last 4 line phone from Panasonic or even their 2 line systems.
6. Speakerphone could be louder and clearer
7. The menu/operating system is not so intuitive. To just shut off a particular line from the answering system you have to go through a zillion steps.
Why are there not any better options for 4 line phones out there? Panasonic has always been top notch for me.
I would avoid this one.
 Much improved over the TG4000 November 29, 2006

I have had this phone for about a month and I can't find anything to complain about. It addresses all of the problems of the previous model including:
More volume settings
Music on hold (provided or your own)
Mute
More ringers (7)
You can join a call in progress
Headsets can be named
Call Waiting ID
Indefinite hold (doesn't send to voicemail right away)
The ringer can be muted.
You can record a phone call.
I have not used the attendant. The range is fine for me and there is no interference with WiFI A/B, microwave, or other radio devices.
So far, so good. I reccomend it.
Solid Phone System full of MOST features January 11, 2007

Overall this 4-line phone system does most things that any small business would require with multiple options for messaging. Extreme clarity w/ no buzzes or popping noises that you might experience on other systems. A fully charged handset can last for days out of the cradle. I had a Siemans system before and with it's drawbacks I DO miss two features that it had that this system lacks: A) When you "register" the handsets to the system your phonebook entries in the base do not transmit to the handset(s). You have to enter each contact separately in the base and/or handset(s). Kind of a drag. My other system was able to transfer data from base to handsets & vise versa. This system does not do that and for the life of me, I don't know why. Seems such an obvious time saver & simple thing to have included. Go figure.
B) Although this is a very "messaging savvy" system, it is not built with a separate LED indicator to let you know that your providers voice mail has a message waiting. Not a big deal if you plan to use only the self contained voice mail features. (there IS, of course, an indicator for internal messages waiting) If you use, say, AT&T voice mail on any of the lines, you'll have to open the line to hear the stuttering dial tone as indicator. Not a big deal for most people, but I got used to the external light indicator on my other system. Overall I'm pleased with the purchase and would recommend it as a solid system with a couple of missing niceties.
OK if you don't need it more then 10 feet from base January 19, 2007

After the last Panasonic 4-line debacle....1 key failes in 6 months on ALL handsets YIKES! and with not having a lot of other choices on the market we were forced to buy the new edition of the Panasonic Phone. How bad could it be, we figured. They have to have figured out how to build a decent handset buy now. Well, the handset is probably ok, but when we took it 20 feet from the base we lost signa1. WHAT!!? Called Panasonic and of course customer service probably had never seen the phone suggested to unplug the battery...For Heaven's Sake. Hang up, call back, next person educates me that 5.8 Ghz just means clearer signal, but range is shorter. WTF??! We immediately boxed this PIECE OF JUNK up and sent it back!! Do yourself a favor, buy from a different manufacturer!
