Summary: People, stay away from this junk, it's a true LEMON!!!!!!!!
Review: I have to repeat what everybody have already said about this terrible piece of equipment:
-the worst battery ever: I already have two batteries and none of them stays charged for more than 1 day, and this is if I don't use the phone!
-problems with the Caller ID, like most of the other people.
-Cust. Service people know one thing to say: send the phone to our technical dept. and .....you know the rest of it!
I can keep going and going, but the bottom line is:Don't buy it! It's a piece of junk!!!!

Summary: Piece of junk
Review: Even though phones with identical features are available for less than half the cost, I bought this phone mistakenly believing Panasonic quality was worth the extra money. However, this phone is a piece of junk. For one, the "DIGITAL SP-PHONE" button frequently stops working, both before attempting to make a call and after completing a call. That is right, you cannot hang up !! In fact, all buttons in that vicinity fail to work. I have to unplug the phone for several minutes to make these work again and even this strategy fails at times. It is amazing Panasonic decided to put Ni-Cd batteries instead of Ni-Mh. Battery life is a joke ! The only option appears to be to ship my phone to their service center (at MY expense). But, after reading the reviews here, I realize that is a waste of time and money. Shame on the engineers who designed this phone and shame on the company that continues to sell this ! Lessons learnt:
1. Before buying ANY product, check the reviews at amazon.com. A good number of negative reviews means a definite no-no. 2. NEVER again a Panasonic product. *NEVER* BTW, IMHO, this product is an excellent candidate for a class-action lawsuit.

Summary: Not Impressed
Review: In short, I like gadgets with features. I thought I would like this phone system. I bought into this phone and set them up around the home. The reviews below are accurate. The battery life is short (less than 1 hour talk time) and I have already had to replace the batteries and I have not yet had the phone 1 year. The 'flash' feature does not work. I have Verizon and it does not respond when the 'flash' feature is pressed. Verison says it is the phone not giving the right signal or it is too short of a signal. Otherwise, the clarity is fine. I just hate not being able to easily switch to a second caller. I'd stay away from the series (maybe this brand) when I spend money to update this system. Good Luck!

Summary: Great Phone System
Review: I recently purchased this phone system (along with two additional handsets) to replace our 900mhz cordless phones. Set up is simple, entering names/#'s in the phone book is straightforward, and streaming the phone book entries to other handsets is awesome. Intercom feature works very well. I haven't found the batteries to be an issue like others have, but I tend to keep the phones on the base when not actively in use. Hopefully my good luck continues!

Summary: Defective Phone Terrible Customer Service
Review: I purchased this phone about ten months ago. I am now on my fourth battery, and will probably be sending the phone back to Panasonic for the second time. Battery life is absolutely terrible. Maximum talk time is 30 minutes at best, but is typically much less. Customer Support is useless, don't waste your time. The personnel are surly and uncooperative. I'm pretty sure that after four trys, I know how to charge the battery, but the first words out of their mouths is that I didn't do it right. This is followed closly by send the phone to our Customer Support Center. Never mind that I have already done this only to have the phone returned six weeks later with a finding of no fault found, installed new battery. The only glimmer of intellegent life at the other end of the phone this last time was the comment by the agent "there must be something wrong with the phone" unfortunately that statement was followed with "send it to the Service Center, they will fix it". Fat chance. Oh and don't bother to try to call the Service Center. Panasonic has come up with a great way to reduce call volume, no toll free number. This phone is a lemon. Don't buy it, or any other Panasonic product again. They lost my trust, and it will be a long time, if ever, before they get it back.

Summary: Few PROs.. many CONs
Review: I had Panasonic cordless 900 Mhz phone before... it was way better than this one. Panasonic took away some very useful features such as Automatic paging when the incomeing message is received, better battery life, ability to still hear clearly when another person picks up another phone on your end. I would stay away from this model, I hope newer model have better features.

Summary: Great features but Terrible Battery life -4-5 mos after buy
Review: If I had reviewed this phone soon after I had bought it (first 2-4 months), I would have given it at least 4 stars because of the features and pretty good battery time. However as time went on, battery life has deteriorated to a point that it is a joke. Sometimes we get just 20 minutes without speaker phone. I have both a speaker phone/base station and an extension set. The extension is worse, but the base station is only slightly better in terms of battery life. So if you see 4 or 5 stars in the rating by some ...reviewer for this phone, you know it is someone who just recently bought the phone; if you seee 1 star, it is someone like me, who has had this phone for a while, who Panasonic has nicely fleeced but has finally figured it out!!!

Summary: And they STILL continue to sell these Lemons!!!!
Review: As a loyal Panasonic customer who has been buying Panasonic almost exclusively for the last 25 years, I have to say that I couldn't be more disappointed with these phones! From day one, after following their instructions to a tee, I have had battery charging problems that just got worse with each day! It's not just a fluke either because BOTH extension phones I purchased have the same problems. These phones are supposed to stay charged on stand-by for 3 weeks. I am lucky if they last one hour! The real kicker is that the reason I replaced my previous PANASONIC phone, which was not very old, was to remedy a similar battery charging problem! Another problem is with the Caller ID function. It almost never shows up until the last ring and about 1/3 of the time it never shows up at all! My last phone showed the caller ID usually after only the first ring. I see from the large number of reviewers giving the same complaints, that I am not alone. From reading other people's stories over many months, it seems that Panasonic has not been able to remedy their problems very well either. These phones were really expensive and now I have no other choice but to throw them away and buy new ones!!! The biggest disappointment I have overall is that after more than a year of knowing of these serious problems, Panasonic STILL continues to sell these phones without even blinking!!! Because of this, after 25 years of buying their products almost exclusively, it will be a l-o-n-g time before I buy another Panasonic product again!!!

Summary: Poor battery charger
Review: I purchased this phone for my home office. I have replaced the battery twice in 6 months and, according to the place of purchase, the battery should last 1-2 years. I have a much older Panasonic with speakerphone for my home and have never had to replace the battery. In this phone, it slowly provides less and less time between charges until you can only speak on the handheld for about 30 minutes before it dies completely. Panasonic has told me to send it in for a new one, which I plan to do. But, that is very inconvenient. The other features work fine when the battery is fresh, but the battery charger is a deal-breaker.

Summary: Best phone Yet
Review: I just purchased this phone a few months ago and it has worked great. The answering maching works better then any other one i have ever had and it allows you to check your messages when you are not home. The caller ID works everytime although sometimes it will say "out of area". The range on the phone is incredible, I can walk down my street with it and the words are still loud and clear, although i do live on a very short street. The earpiece on the handset is louder then on any other cordless phone i hvae had, and it also allows you to check your massages from your handset. I also like how you can add up to 8 handsets and you dnt have to plug them into phone jack, only a power outlet. Also, within the handsets you also have an intercom system so u can get someones attention onthe other side of the house. With the battery on the phone, it is like a 50/50 chance that you will get a good battery. I bought the phone in radio shack and got a phone with a lousy battery. I brought it back and they gave me a replacement which made the phone the phone great.
