Summary: Should they be sued for this product?
Review: It looks and feels good from outside. But this is the worst phone product I have ever had. Even worse than the 2 dollar phones you get at the local electronics shop. Don't be fooled with 2.4 Ghz thing. It sounds worse than my 15 year old cordless phone.

What they say above is all true. I used this one for only a couple of months and it gave "Out of Range" signal. Its reception was getting worse and worse and finally died. We have another one at home. I tried the handset on it, which worked. So the problem was the actual recieving/transmitting machine which has the 2.4 chipset on it.

The menu of the product is confusing and not smartly designed. You have a big blue button which should work miracles of OK/Exit/Menu/Up/Down/In/Out etc. Believe me, it is confusing.

Reading from above comments, I feel like I should not send it back for repair, since they do not anyway. With so many complaints, I guess they should be sued or should recall this product.

Summary: Panasonic 2.4 cordless w/Caller ID & Answering Machine
Review: if you're looking for an expensive disposable phone, this is for you.
I paid $200.00 + for this phone that will only last a year or so. I know of
three other people that had the same problem.
Stay away from this one.
(The answering machine still works but can't be reprogrammed because the handset doesn't work.)

Summary: Functionally Great, but Confusing to Use
Review: I've now owned and used this phone daily for about a year and a half. Functionally, it works fantastic. I get great reception everywhere I need to. However, here are the problems...

* Every time the power goes out, I need to re-teach myself how to set the day and time by looking it up in the manual--it's not intuitive at all.

* The new message indicator is a small blinking red light, which is really difficult to see.

* The phone directory saves names and phone numbers, but it's cumbersome to use and again, requires frequent consults with the manual.

* Using redial is not a one button proccess like other phones. Rather, the user must scroll through the main menu, choose redial, then review the number before pressing talk to connect.

* While reviewing the answering machine's messages, it's impossible to listen to a phone number that someone left for you and punch it into the phone at the same time because as soon as you start to use the phone, the answering machine stops. So, you have to either remember the phone number, or write it down.

* Like on my cell phone, I like to dial the phone number, review it to make sure it's correct, then press talk to dial it. This phone doesn't allow you to do that.

Summary: There's no 0 Level ! -- Buzzing
Review: Like most other reviewers, it was incredulous to me that Panasonic would do such a poor job with one of their top of the line products. If I had paid $40 for a cordless phone, I could understand the problems I've had. But when I pay [this amount of money] for a phone, I expect a certain level of quality and service.

I would rate this phone at a 0 because if its constant buzzing after a few minutes. I paid $25 to buy a replacement battery thinking that the battery was the source of my problems. The buzzing is actaully worse, and now I get "out of range" errors that prohibit the use of the phone. Also, it's hidden redial feature amazes me. I searched and searched for the quick redial feature and the one touch dialing which I just knew would be there. I wish I had the time to pursue this with the BBB.

Summary: lemon
Review: I'm a computer tech, and home tech. Utilizing home automation products, so I'm very competent with using home electronics. Fact is that after 1 year or so, started developing static/noise on the line, progressively getting worse. Constant out of range messages, as well as no talk activation. Called Panasonic said it was cheaper to replace the phone than repair it. If I could purchase the board they explain that goes bad I would replace it. People that haven't experienced problems got the good ones. Before the 1 year phone worked great. So the people not experiencing problems should not critic the ones that got stuck with the lemons. Pansonic lost me as a future customer, and a class-action suit should come forth.

Summary: Stay "Out of Range" of this one
Review: An absolutely horrible phone. Do not buy under any circumstances. I'm still trying to get satisfaction.

Out of range error appears, will not go away. Please stay out of range of this phone.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Poor
Review: Produced so much static that we could not hear caller, just after one year use. Sent off to the Panasonic Service Center, after 2 months, I called and they said it was repaired and in the mail back to me. The phone had not been repaired and when I called them about it, was treated indifferently and then they disconnected me. I wrote the company and never received a reply. So cancelled the credit card charge and will never buy Panasonic again.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Piece of junk and poor service
Review: Shortly after one year the phone developed such load static that we could not hear the callers. Sent to Panasonic Service which proved to be inept, indifferent, and discourteous. Took the Service Center two months to charge me a $25 service fee, neglected to do anything to the phone, then sent it back to me. When questioned, the Service people were rude and when asked to explain, hung-up on me. I cancelled the $25 credit card charge, wrote the company giving the sequence of events and stating that I will never purchase a Panasonic product again. Never heard back from them. Their loss!

Summary: Horrible experience with this phone
Review: Like others my phone went dead after a few months. Out of range messages appeared all of a sudden. This phone works great for a while then it dies. I had two of these and the same thing happened with each one! JUNK.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Excellent range and clarity...
Review: I have owned this phone for 7 months, and the one thing I'm very impressed with is the clarity, which is the best I have ever had in a cordless.
This phone also features a large oval button which you scroll either up/down, or right/left, for many of the functions. The one I like and find easy to use is scanning to see who has phoned you. The name and phone numbers are displayed very nicely and easy to read.
What I do not like about this phone (and why I rate it 2 stars)is having to get out the owners manual every time I need to change something. Setting the time is a nightmare. Something as basic as turning off your phone's ringer is a project!
And the very basic 're-dial' function we all know, is lost on this phone because you need to get out the manual to find the program to do it! VERY frustrating.
What could have been a great phone is nothing more than an over-done, complicated mess.
