Summary: Junk
Review: One of the more important features I was looking for was Call Waiting/CallerID. Well, the phone has been repaired THREE times by Panasonc and the feature still doesn't work. I confirmed numerous times that this feature was turned on through the phone company. I also tested the line with a different phone, and the Call Waiting/CallerID feature IS turned on but the Panasonic phone doesn't agree!

Summary: Very Good - Not Perfect
Review: Overall a Very Good phone. Excellant features, feel, etc. This is one of Pansonic's good ones. There are, however, a couple of serious flaws. The low battery indicator chime is a very faint, distant beep, and very brief too. It sounds as though there is a beeping in the background at the other end of the line. If either party is talking, you won't hear the beeping - so the phone just goes dead. ..not good.. Worse even, when starting a call, one of the three battery strength indicators on the LCD screen will be lit, letting you know that there is adequate charge for a call, (according to the manual, it should flash when the battery is too low) So you will get a dial tone, it allows you to dial the number, then, as soon as it connects, the phone will cut off;....no flashing battery indicator,...no beeping,...just a dead phone. Consequently, that is how we find out that the battery needs charging 90% of the time. Obviously this is annoying even at the best of times, if there was only one handset it would be even more so. If you can live with this annoyance then you will like this phone very much. Great range.

Summary: Works well, good quality
Review: This is a good 2 (optionally 3) handset cordless phone with digital spread spectrum -- this is rare to find without lots of (expensive) extra bells and whistles. This phone has no answering machine. The design is attractive and the wall-mount was easy. The powerpack for the main unit is rather large and is grey, not white, like the rest of the phone.I don't like the way the wall-mounting of the main unit requires the handset to "click"-in instead of hang: The plastic piece that holds the phone could easily break. I hope it does not. Ringer options are nice. Voice quality is good and the handsets are lightweight and include a beltclip. The second handset also wall-mounts, but in custom fashion. No screws or plates are included for wall-mounting either handset.

Summary: NO answering machine, as implied by description!
Review: Upon pulling the phone out of the box, I was shocked to find that this phone system does NOT have an answering machine! I had to go back through my research to figure out that the "VOICE MAIL MESSAGE INDICATOR LIGHT" that was listed in the product descriptions is not synonymous with the phone having an answering machine. You have to sign up for an AT&T answering service that you pay for separately as part of your phone bill!!! The product descriptions could be clearer on this point.

Review: We are more than pleased with this Panasonic!! Set up directions were clear and easy to follow. Given that we are not electronic wizards this says something! It has the features we wanted - plus a few more. Nice - thank you.

Summary: Great Telephone
Review: We have been using this phone for about two weeks. It was easy to set up, easy to program and easy to use. The whole family is happy with the quality! We especially like the caller id feature because it is new to us. We use it to screen our calls.
