 Just What We Needed And Didn't Even Know It January 24, 2006

We have two separate phone lines, and for years we have been complaining about having to find one or the other handset if we needed the other line. This two line set comes with two handsets and is expandable up to four handsets.
Not only does it have numerous and I mean numerous useful features and GREAT sound, which is especially important to me as I have trouble hearing on most phones, but with the two lines, we can easily switch back and forth if we need the other line. In fact, we are going to buy a third handset for the kitchen.
Features - more than we will probably ever use, but we especially like the speaker phone and the intercom which can both be used from the individual handsets or the base unit. By choice we don't have Caller ID, so we don't use that feature now. We shut off the answering machine for the second line since it is only used for faxes, going online, and making outgoing phone calls. I only gave this 4 stars because of the poor sound quality of the answering machine, but the quality of phone itself, sorta, kinda, makes up for that.
The handsets have some weight and size to them, not too much, just enough to feel comfortable in our hands. We don't like small lightweight handsets. My husband's hands are big and mine are medium and the handsets are very comfortable for both of us.
We also bought the Panasonic KX-TCA 60 headset ($10.49) through Amazon. After I had ordered the headset and it was in the mail, I read another review on Amazon for a different Panasonic headset, which stated that this unit would not work with a 5.8 GHz phone. I called Panasonic and they said that this headset would work with this phone. It just arrived and fortunately, it does works well with this phone.
We should have combined our two phone lines years ago. We based our purchase on the excellent reviews on Amazon and the use and feel of the phone itself. We have only been using it for a week now, but we are very pleased with our purchase.
 Not Panasonic's Best Outing February 15, 2006

I tried two of these just to make sure one unit wasn't defective. I must've missed the previous poster who commented that the phone IDs only half the time. TRUE! On both units I had. And calls to Panasonic are useless.
I have other cordless systems in my house, both by Panasonic (though 2.4Ghz) and they never miss ID'ing a call.
I can't see spending good money on an otherwise nice system which fails at least 25% of the time.
 Great phone for the money August 28, 2005

I bought this phone for my travel agency. I had an ancient phone system with Avaya which needed upgraded. After looking at cost and my needs this phone really hit the spot. I am the only employee so I needed a system that could allow someone to leave a message if I was on the other line. I have had this phone for about 2 weeks and can not say anything negative. Great product!!

Not wanting to re-wire for second line for other rooms in the home decided to purchase this system. It is a great solution to problem. I now have both lines available in other areas of the home and not in just my home office. Phones have been in use approx. 1 month and we are please with the product.
2 Thumbs Up from Non-Techie February 13, 2006

There's some great reviews on this phone which is one of the reasons I gambled on this phone. My previous Siemens 2 line answering machine phone looked cool but the reception was often poor and the phones had static even when the reception was good. My non-tech review is that this phone is easy to use and fairly intuitive. I have not cracked opened the manual and have been able to easily use the phone, delete messages, customize preferences, etc. I like the constant visual about the battery life (seems to hold a charge well -- I left it out of the cradle for 2 days without it going dead), you can select which line (1 or 2) to call from, and the built-in speaker phone on the phone itself (as opposed to just on the base). There's lots of nice little features that others have detailed. I have had no problems with range, interference (my neighbors have wireless phones and modems), or anything else in the 2 months I have had it. The handset has a nice weighted feel in your hand and isn't too big or tiny so you can do that neck-shoulder cradle thing when you're trying to cook or wash dishes and talk. Messages play back clearly and sound clarity is crisp. Appearance wise it's fairly basic and not very stylish -- the dark grey/black hides dirt -- so it's function over form.
