I have had this product about a month. The sound quality is mostly good, but a couple times there was a lot of static. Have not been able to determine if it was weather related or electrical interference, but it didn't last. It is very user friendly and was easy to set-up. I was only able to locate a 3 handset set locally Panasonic KX-TG1033S Dect 6.0 Cordless Telephone w/Digital Answering machine, 3 Handsets Total and had to add a handset. It was easy to register. A phonebook is available, but I never use phonebooks. Has all the features I care about. Would recommend it to anyone.

I replaced my 5.8ghz Uniden set with these phones because I have a lot of wireless technology at the house. The 5.8's were all static if you went 10 feet from the base. I use VOIP and the range and clarity for these phones is amazing. I did a number of hours of research on other DECT 6.0 phones and this set rated the best in features and use. The range, clarity, and features are unbeatable by other systems to date.
NOTE: If you use VOIP make sure your gateway is setup behind your router/firewall. If you have it before your router the phones will not work right and will be VERY choppy.

Just bought a second set. This is the BEST cordless phone I've ever used! Great sound, easy to program, easy to handle.

Other reviewers must not receive outside calls intended for the whole family. DECT phones require an awkward procedure to allow a second person to join an incoming call. And more than one additional joiner is impossible even if you have several extension phones! I'm used to being able to just "pick up the extension", and that's a requirement these phones can't meet.
Get 'em! The best, good value!! September 21, 2007

I purchased additional phones to bring me up to the six phone limit. This is my initial critique on the first (set of) four:
.
These phones, as the other users have reported, have some foo-foo features like multiple ring tone selections (think cell phone)and a plethora of menu-driven options; that said, however: I am very favorably impressed with their performance as PHONES. They are perfectly clear, having no competition on their 1.9GHz "cordless phone exclusive" frequency. The range isn't as good as my old Tropez DSS phone which died years ago, but these work on 250MW which seems to be the norm these days. Forget the DSS cordless phones that worked a couple of blocks away, they're history. Europe and Australia allow more RF output, but seems as if the good 'ol USA has more stringent FCC RF limits.
.
These phones also have the advantage of requiring 2 AAA Mi-MH instead of a dedicated battery pack. Makes it much easier to: [1]Replace batteries, [2] Have 'spares' aavailable if they go dead.
.
The line-of-sight range seems to be about 200 feet. Put walls and/or (particularly) aluminum siding in the way and it's down to much less. I have no problems within my 4 level 1400sq. ft. shack, however. These are the best cordless phones yet, aside from my 8 year old Tropez, which died several years ago. 2.4GhZ? Forget it! Screws up all wireless connections, P.C., headphones, etc. 5.8 GhZ? Work fine. DECT 6.0 1.9GHz? The way to go!
