Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Needs improvement
Review: For about a month, I've been using this system with a total of 3 handsets for VoIP. Sounds great, I like the feel and some of the features like speaker phone and talking caller ID. Here's what I'd add/change:

When one handset answers the phone, the other handsets should not display a missed call.

One handset should be able to erase all the other handsets missed call log.

The handsets should display the time and date.

The handsets should be able to supercede the caller ID. Meaning: when the phonebook is programmed with a friends work number and the handset receives the call from the friend, the company's name displays instead of the friend's name in the phone book.

Single button dialing to the carriers voice mail system. Doesn't make much sense to press the VM button and then the talk button or vice-versa.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Steer clear...
Review: I bought the base station (KX-TG5200M) and a second handset (KX-TGA520M) and both failed within 2 months. (Comapred to my last Panasonic 900MHz phone that lasted 8+ years and counting...)
The features on this phone are great and worth 5 stars (programmable phone book, room-to-room monitor, multiple voicemail inboxes) but a great phone that doesn't work is worthless.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Phone
Review: This is a great phone that has great features. Don't listen to the negative hype. There is usually a great rebate offer too. I got 20 bucks and I think they are up to 30 now.

This handheld phone has seven different ringers (on the base unit KX-TG5240M), and can control all the base unit functions. It can also be used to monitor a room (like a baby monitor), check the voice mail, phone to phone conference, multiple (up to 5) conference, and many many more features. If you have multiple handsets, you can use it as a pager for each OR all handsets at a time.

I experience excellent clarity several hundred feet away from the house, and that is through three concrete walls. This model comes equipped with NiMH batteries, which beat the heck out of NiCd in both capacity and long (battery memory free) life, which is a huge bonus, considering how much replacement batteries cost nowadays.

My wife loves the talking caller ID so that see doesn't have to cross the room or even clean her hands while cooking to answer some annoying telemarketer.

Good quality, good clarity, and the longest lasting best batteries!
