User Ratings and Reviews
3 Stars ahh–ok
this phone is cool but it really lacks range. i would have thought i could go further before losing calls..nope. Each phone has a individual phone book which could be cool in certain situations but is a real pain because every phone in my house has different numbers. it is a pain to sync each phone with the household phone book. if i grab the wrong phone it may not have the number i need in it. the answering unit is only ok it does not have very user friendly controls for saving or reviewing messages after a period of time.
4 Stars Great choice for a small office
Great choice for a small office:
- Support for 2 lines is a significant plus, especially given very moderate pricing
- Tiny footprint for the “base”
- The base has the same, fully usable cordless handset (vs. a separate useless corded base in earlier models)
- Speakerphone on each handset very helpful when dealing with extended waiting time on the line…
- Good sound quality
- Processes the FLASH button correctly for Vonage lines (call wait feature & three-way calls)
(We do not use auto-answering mode, because we are using Vonage – works great with the Vonage box, supporting both lines.)
Cons:
- The only ones discovered so far are minor: the base has an LCD display, BUT this display shows neither the current time (when inactive), nor the call time (when speaking). So it was added for no obvious purpose…
1 Star Not Reliable
The phone is OK but I have 5 handsets and 3 have failed over 1 1/2 years – terrible reliability. And todate Panasonic has not been very helpful.
1 Star Save your money!!
After about 1 year the buttons on the base, which only get used for checking messages at my house, started to fail. Problem probably occurred even prior to the 1 year mark, but I didn’t notice until it affected the message playback button. Once I discovered the issue, I attempted to power reset the base at which point the entire unit “locked up” and could no longer be used. Panasonic’s solution was send it in for repair, be without my phone for however long that takes, and all at my cost since I was outside the warranty period.
Please, save your money!!! Don’t get stuck with a $200+ phone (I purchased additional handsets) that you can’t even use. I loved the phone while it was working, but it’s only a matter of time until it fails.
2 Stars cordless memoryless
I find this phone system OK with a few flaws: if the power blinks you loose the the time memory of your missed calls, The phone book does not have enough memory and the caller ID will not remember your numbers and associate with your phone book, Then there are the missed call display, any call answered by another handset comes up missed call!
The sound quality and range is good as well as battery life. Not for a business.
