| Product Description |
| Panasonic 2 Line Corded Cordless DECT 6.0 Telephone with Two Handsets |
| Customer Reviews: Average Rating: 3.0/5 | | Decent phone but expensive (price vs. features): Rating: 2/5 |
It is a decent 2 line basic cordless phone. It lacks a lot of features that you can find in a less expensive single line panasonic cordless phone such as Talking Caller ID, LED Voice Mail Indicator, LED battery charge indicator. This phone does not cut off or change the color of it's LED when the battery is charged.
Accessing caller ID and Phone books is a big pain. You need to strike a series of keys to reach there. They simply kept the basic design and re-assigned two soft keys to Line1 and Line2 instead of adding two more buttons, which makes it very hard to use the phone book and Caller ID. At the same time the base unit has simple interface for these functions with additional buttons for lines.
This phone is not worthy for the current price compared to the features this phone has. I will not recommend this phone unless they bring the price down to 150s. It is not worthy.
I still keeping this phone because I am a panasonic fan and cannot find any less expensive 2 line cordless from panasonic. |
| | not what I expect from Panasonic: Rating: 1/5 |
I purchased the base station and 4 additional cordless phones from Amazon this past summer. I selected this model because we have two lines coming into our home; the first line is for family and the second line for business.
The good news is that the audio quality is excellent, the range is impressive (work perfectly over our 5 acre hobby farm), and they go for weeks without recharging, the intercom function works well, and they could not have been easier to setup.
The bad news is base station and the cordless phones selection of assignable ring tones do not match, at all. You also have to program them into each phone one at a time. If someone changes their phone number and you want their ring tone to follow them, you must edit their profile on every cordless.
Another problem is when the phone rings at night, the numbers light up, but the answer button does not, and it is small and hard to sense by touch, making it necessary to turn on the light, which does not go over well with ones mate.
This product is not ready for market, and definitely NOT what I would expect from a heretofore well respected company like Panasonic.
I would have sent them back had I not mistakenly recycled their boxes.

| | Wireless quality problems unacceptable: Rating: 1/5 |
I have had this phone for about 3 weeks. Intermittently, on at least half of my calls using the wireless handsets, the folks I'm talking to have severe problems understanding my voice. I have no problem hearing callers, but when trying to hear me they complain of low volume, jitter, stuttering, and dropouts of several seconds. The problem seems to get much worse when I'm beyond about 25 feet from the base unit - i.e., at the other side of the next room! Beyond about 50 feet, the wireless handsets are practically unusable. That means that if you even have a modest single-story home of standard wood construction, and put the base near the center, you may well encounter severe problems inside your home -- never mind outside.
I called Panasonic Tech Support twice, who were nice enough, and first asked me to try the standard unplugging/resetting, and then asked me to change an obscure setting of "Line mode" (Menu, #, 122). Changing the default from "B" to "A" did not make a significant difference. The support person agreed that she heard the problem as well, to the point that she had to call me back on my cell phone to understand me. Now they are asking me to box up and return the phones and base unit at my expense, and that it will be 2 weeks before I can expect a replacement.
Unfortunately, based partially on other reviews, I'm not optimistic that another unit of this model will correct the problem. It occurs in both handsets, and with either phone line. (And unlike others with similar problems, I do not have an iPhone). I suspect a design problem with the firmware or base unit transmitter. I've tried and used many 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz units in a similar setup in my home over the years without any of these problems (recently including VTech and Panasonic 5.8 Ghz models). Unfortunately, those are only available as single line phones, and I need 2 lines for my home business.
A few positives: The base set has a solid feel, and I applaud Panasonic's use of standard NiMH AAA batteries in the handsets. Other negatives: the menus on the handsets leave much to be desired (who would expect to have to press 3 buttons just to see the last call??), and the ring tones sound cheesy and artificial.
Unfortunately, I'm very disappointed with this phone system - more so than I've ever been with any other product from Panasonic. I work in the telecommunications field and am somewhat familiar with DECT phone technology in higher-end phones, so I know not all DECT systems have similar problems. Honestly, I can't believe that Panasonic released this phone as-is, since at least in my experience, it's practically unusable. Unless they can fix it, I'll have to ask for my money back.

| | Don't be scared off: Rating: 5/5 |
I needed to replace my old Panasonic 5.8 phone system. The old handsets had been dropped too many times, battery life had dropped to nothing and none of the replacement batteries were worthwhile.
Onto this product, however.
Reading the other reviews I was afraid that my GSM phone was going to cause it to drop calls. Fortunately that was NOT the case. I've had my GSM Moto Razor sitting next to the base and next to a handset and had no drop (some static, but no drops) when receiving a call.
The range is fantastic. Areas of my house where my phone used to lose connectivity are clear as a bell with the new phone.
A really pleasant surprise is the battery. Demonstrating some unheard of common sense the new device uses 2 AAA rechargeable batteries instead of a proprietary battery pack.
Summary:
Pros:
Good clarity
Great range
AAA rechargeable batteries
Corded handset on the base
Cons:
none so far...

| | I think this phone system works great.: Rating: 5/5 |
| I did struggle with my decision on which phone to buy, but settled on this one. I read many of its reviews, some very good and some not so good. So far, I feel this is a great phone system for the price and my needs. I have not challenged the outer limits of the phone's performance, and maybe never will or need to. |
