Summary: Look Elsewhere!
Review: ...that a phone with as many features as this one doesn't have a mute button. I work out of my home, am frequently on teleconferences, and I have big dogs. A mute is a must for me so this phone will go back tomorrow. Who would have thought to look for this feature in the store.

Summary: Cheaper at Office Depot - $179.99
Review: Have had the phone for 12 hours, and have minimal experience so far. It worked in the car about a half-block from base. (My other cordless, Uniden 900 Mhz DSS, works about twice as far away - with some interference). Set up was easy, good menu system, but flipping phone over is somewhat awkward. I did not buy it for the answering machine, and probably won't use as I have phone co. voice mail. But I really like the 22-digit capacity of the memory dial programming. Now, I can use only one memory dial location to access my voice mail or other numbers that require many digits after the initial number dialed.I also wanted this phone for the speakerphone. But does Digital Duplex Speakerphone mean dual or half duplex. This makes a big difference in speakerphone conversation. I also wonder why Panasonic does not do a better job of explaining the benefits of a digital speakerphone and describe it better. Now I see someting somewhat bizarre that maybe I am overlooking...I see no way to dial a memory dial number from the base. On the handset, you select the Auto button and then the memory dial button (0-9) but there does not seem to be an Auto button on the base. I'll try to return and add more comments to this review after I have used the phone for a while. I may return it to Off Depot and order the 2-line Uniden 900 from Amazon (which I have had in my wish list for about a month - but now I see that it is backordered - and I really needed a cordless 2-line with Caller ID).

Summary: Nice Features, Poor Quality
Review: I bought this phone because it had the features I needed and I had previously owned a Panasonic and had good luck. The phone constantly drops calls to the handset and I have to jump to the speakerphone to continue the call. I sent it in for repairs once but the problem persists. I doubt I'll buy another Panasonic.

Summary: "What's wrong with your phone? Am I on speakerphone??"
Review: I carefully picked through the hundreds of phones at a local retailer, looking for the one with the set of features that most closely matched my needs. This Panasonic seemed to fit the bill, and although it was rather pricey I settled on it. Once home, I charged it up overnight and made my first call on it. Immediately my friend asked "What's wrong with your phone? It sounds muffled and echoey. Are you using a speakerphone." Not encouraging. I then called another friend, who also accused me of using a speakerphone. A third such incident clinched it...this phone has TERRIBLE outgoing audio. Now I hate it when somebody calls me on a substandard phone, forcing me to strain to hear them, so I won't inflict this sort or torture on others. Back to the store with the Panasonic, and I pulled my seven year old Uniden back out of the garage. I thought by buying an expensive phone from a reputable manufacturer (I love my two Panasonic hard-wired phones!) I'd be avoiding this sort of problem, but it wasn't so. Incoming audio was reasonably clear (if not terribly loud) but the phone also suffers from a high level of background noise/hiss. It's not intolerable, but why should my cheap old Uniden be so much quieter than a brand new, expensive Panasonic? A more minor gripe concerns the somewhat awkward memory dialing system...you've got to wade through a few menus to reach your stored entries. That I could live with, but poor sound quality is not to be tolerated in a telephone.

Summary: disappointing for the money
Review: I got this phone a year and a half ago and have never been satisfied for what it costs. At first it just bothered me that you could hang up on someone if you held the phone by the caller ID. Then a few monts ago the #4 would not work. The only way for it to work was to press very hard and then it would come out twice. Now most of the keypad does not work right but the most annoying one is the talk button. I have to use a pen and push as hard as I can just to turn it off. Do not buy this phone it is a waste and customer service did not care either.

Summary: it's a poor quality phone!
Review: I have a similiar model "Panasonic 900 Mhz cordless phone with voicemail and caller ID" and I loved it. Then I saw this model with same capacity plus TWO LINES and cheaper price! So I bought it to replace my one line model and regreted now since my friends often complain that they couldn't hear me clearly. Sometimes I even notice myself the phone was "jammed" during conversion and I had to change channel manually! This big "Digital GigaRange DSS" label on the phone is like a fraudulous feature to me because its sound quality is worst than the regular 900MHz model. I tried to find a reason ( besides the price is cheaper :-) and here is my guess(no offense to any country): This model is made in Malaysia, while my previous one was made in Japan. Disclaimer: I bought this phone from other online retailer, not Amazon.

Summary: Nothing but problems, No more Panasonic at home.
Review: I have had such a horrible experience with this Panasonic phone I REFUSE to buy another telephone made by Panasonic. "Dropout King" is right, if you want your conversations interupted with faulty equipment use this phone. The buttons on the handset fail with use. Calling long distance is hard when the "1" button does not work. The answering machine is difficult, if not impossible to use with no backlight to the number of messages and having to reverse your way thru older messages. Finally, the base has given up charging the handset, so our phone is dead...

Summary: Do not buy this phone
Review: I have had this phone for 1 1/2 years. I have to replace it. It has always been a disappointment to me. The dial pad on the phone does not work now. Many of the numbers stick when dialing. I can't stand it anymore and am throwing it in the trash. No more Panasonic for me. Don't buy it.
