Summary: Worst phone I have ever owned
Review: I bought this phone only 1 year ago , for alot of money, and now it won't even work. At first you would only get the "out of range" message every once in awhile and it would only last for a minute. It kept getting worse and worse until now the phone will not work. All you get is the "out of range" while standing inches from the base unit. Also the programing of the phone is confusing. I have read and re-read the manual I don't know how many times and I still can't get the time and date to work. This phone is the biggest waste of money. You're better of buying a cheap phone that at least you know will work.

Summary: Panasonic nice look-lowquality
Review: This phone lasted < one month. Pathetic. I threw itout.. By the time you pay for sending it back to a fixit center, packand drive to the mailing point, go without a phone for weeks, it is ahuge inconvenience. Manufactures with lousy product qc, likePanasonic should pay. Panasonic will because I have had it withthem. I bought 6 phones from them recently, ( all $ 200+) and I ambatting 4 out of 6 and have had it. Plus, my last models before theseones were relatively short lived,( two + years) so I gave these guysplenty of chances They sell high priced phones .. in poor quality andI can only assume it is because of lousy management in qc. Panasonichas no problem charging premium prices, but their equipmentperformance follow thorugh is awful. I got suckered by theattractivenss of their products....again THumbs down

Summary: Don't buy it!
Review: This phone is a complete rip off. It has nice features but what's the point if after a while nothing works. I have had this phone for less than 6 months now and I'm seriously thinking about trashing it. Sound is horrible, the range can be easily achieved by a 900mHZ phone and to make matters worse the handset all of a sudden gives an "out of range" message even while standing right next to the unit. Last time this happened to my handset, I was unable to make calls or program my phone for more than a week. If you want to do something smart don't waste your money on this phone!

Summary: Terrific Telephone
Review: After researching cordless phones for monthes. This phone had everything I wanted for the price. I gave it as a gift to my parents who live on a farm and needed a phone that can go a great distance. They have been extremely happy with their new phone. It has great reception. After a short tutorial, they were able to figure out exactly how to use all of the features of this phone. Although it is pricey, it gives you everything that you could possibly want.

Summary: Terrible
Review: I had this phone for about 6 months when all went downhill. Similiar to other reviews I had the same problems. Ultimately the out of range will not turn off and the phone is now in the garbage. It completely stopped working one day and I could only get a dial tone from the speaker button, however, you cannot dial with this so I was out of luck and out of a phone. Because i procrastinated I did not send it back to the warehouse as you have to do upon calling customer service. The phone is certainly not user friendly, who wants to press 3 buttons to redial a call and it only stores 30 numbers. I also own the SONY Spread spectrum 900 mhz and prefer it. However, this phone too, has failed on many occasions. The Panasonic ultimately was a big waste of money. With most of these phones, the more technology, the worse they are after a few months of use. I would not recommend this to anyone who wants a phone to last longer than a few months.

Summary: Very poorly designed phone
Review: I have had many cordless phones (including Panasonic - my last one did well), and this one is by far the worst. I was looking forward to long range and clear reception, but it falls far short of any expectations the cost should imply, and all the other problems render the phone almost useless. We had a lot of difficulty hearing anyone because the mic picked up every noise in the house while talking and fed it back in your ear. We had a problem with out-of range cut-outs when standing right next to the base unit. You can not program any function without the manual right there to read the codes. Even the layout of the buttons was poorly thought out. I think Panasonic came up with a big loser on this one. I wish I would have returned it shortly after I got it. It has since completely died - just quit working, a very expensive addition to the trash heap.

Summary: Great Phone
Review: This is a great phone and it has GREAT rception & clarity. My friends do not even believe that I am using a cordless phone its so clear. The handset controls are a little different than what I was used to but it took less than 5 minutes to figure them out and they are easy to use. I went to my local electronic store and found that this was the most comfortable phone of the lot (also tried Vtech & Undien Etc,), which was one of my concerns. I made the right choice.

Summary: A dialing directory flaw to consider for calling card users
Review: I just purchased this phone and have a flaw to mention for those who may use a calling card from home. I often use a calling card from home as I can get better rates via the card at some points. With my previous Panasonic Cordless Phone (KX-TC1850B), I could store numbers in different banks. I could then dial the contents of each bank at any time. So, I could for example press Auto 1 (for bank 1) which would dial my calling card company (an 800 number). I could then press Auto 2 (for bank 2) to dial my calling card number (a combination of my home phone number plus 4 digits). This cannot be done with this phone however. Though this phone does have a dialing directory, you can only access the directory if the phone is on standby (not in use). The total length of each directory entry is 22 digits. The calling card company 800 number is 11 digits long and my calling card number is 14 digits long for a total of 25 digits. So, without any pauses (which would be necessary for this to even work), I am already over the directory entry limit of 22 digits. It would be easy to solve if the phone would allow me to access the directory at any time, but once you dial the first number, you no longer can access the directory. I called Panasonic to verify the problem. They basically read from the same manual that is included with the phone. As the person was reading, she said, "This doesn't make any sense. Even the crappiest of phones will allow you to program a calling card." (Her words, not mine) I even told them about my other Panasonic phone which would allow this. After some time, they asked me to hold so they could get someone with more experience. This person confirmed my suspicion that this phone will not support this feature. He said that you would have to manually dial one of the 2 numbers. He also agreed that it didn't make much sense since this would seem to be a fairly common request. Though not a huge deal, it seems this is a fairly large oversight. The phone itself seems to be decent thus far, but some of the features can be rather difficult to access (the redial feature as mentioned by others).

Summary: Very unpleasant experience
Review: I bought this phone and used it for a little over a month and it stopped working. My first thought was that I needed a new battery so I contacted Panasonic via the number on the manual and they told me they were backordered and that I should check with my local stores. I tried these with no results. Can't a company take some responsibility for their replacement part availability?

Summary: Average performance at a high price
Review: I don't know if there is a better product on the market, but I have found many problems with this one. My phone has also had static and shown "out of range" while I am standing a few feet from the base. I have found that if you put the phone back on the base and move it around a few times, it will start to work fine. Something must be sticking on these phones. I bought this 2.4GHz phone particularly because I did not want to get interference with the common 900MHz phones. This is especially important to me because I have other 900MHz phones IN THE HOUSE as many people do. Although this phone does use the 2.4GHz frequency, it ALSO USES 900MHz!! I cannot use our 900Mhz phones while this 2.4GHz phone is in use; the conversation will cut out. Also, it will interfere with the signal from the common 900MHz baby monitors. Another complaint with the phone is the controls. Everything seems to be abbreviated and most features are accessed through the function button. One problem with this is that it is almost impossible to set some of the common features on the phone without the manual. (Make sure you keep the instructions!!) Another example of poor design is with redial. Maybe it is just me, but I want to press ONE button to redial the last number. It takes several buttons to access the redial feature on this phone. It is almost easier to just dial the number yourself. If you have caller ID, the light on the base unit always flashes. This may be a standard in the phone industry, but the flashing light always makes me think that I have new messages on the answering machine. The unit does have a few good features, but I expected more from Panasonic.
