Bosch Cordless Drill | Cordless Phone with Answering Machine

Posts Tagged ‘Panasonic Dect 6’

I’m planning to buy Panasonic DECT 6.0 from US and will be using it in India. Does anyone have idea if this cordless works in India?
Does this frequence work in India (1.9 ghz) also i read somewhere that caller id doesnt work, is that true?

I currently am using a Panasonic DECT 6.0 phone. Supposedly, the frequency it uses is static free, however it has a lot of soft but noticeable background noises. When it tried plugging the cordless phone into another jack, it still had the same effect. My wall phone has no static, and I don’t use any GSM devices in the house, only CDMA. I also noticed that my walkie-talkies have a buzzing noise in the background.

5 Stars this is a fine phone
If this phone has the features your looking for then buy it. it’s easy to use, does everything the ad says and nothing more.

3 Stars programing nightmare
Unit works well. Inconvenient to figure out where you have to program, hand set or base set. Light on base set that identifies a message is almost impossible to see unless you are on top of the machine.

3 Stars Panasonic 6.0 combo
Product functions well but its missing a few features. I expected it to have- timer/ clock and also the speaker phone volume is low, even when at max.

4 Stars Highly Recommend
Very attractive styling with all the features I was looking for. Finish is a medium silvery metallic grey, unlike product photos that look darker. Corded base phone works during power outgages which are nowadays frequent in many places because of overtaxed electrical grid. Easy menu-type programming, but don’t lose the manual. Handset charged up quickly and you can purchase additionally sets. I only needed one for the living room. You can page between phones. Base phone can be wall mounted. Choice of a couple ringer tones and I like the melodic bell tone sound versus the annoying typical ring tone. Great no-disturb “Z” feature allows you to shut off the ringer late at night til wake-up, but any calls and messages will still be received. The 6.0 sound quality is superb for all calls I’ve experienced local, out of state and international. You can record your own greeting or use the default recording which I prefer – typical brief voicemail message in English. Wish they offered a duplicate in Spanish. One con is the tiny red blinking message light which you can’t see from across the room. The advertised “Call Block” feature will prevent any unwanted or harassment calls from ringing, and disconnect them, after their numbers are programmed into the phone. But this only works if you subscribe to, and pay your phone company for Caller ID every month. I researched similar AT&T and G.E. phone sets, but chose Panasonic. Slightly more expensive, but worthwhile for the 6.0 sound quality, features, and more attractive design.

4 Stars Nice and small
I replaced my older Panasonic 2 line business phone with this one. This one is a lot smaller which saves a lot of space on my desk. So far the phone works nice. Speaker phone is not as loud as my older model. I don’t like having to press multiple buttons just to view the caller ID list. The biggest drawback of this phone is it does NOT have an earphone jack anywhere on it. I was mistaken/mislead when I bought it that it did have one. Only the cordless companion has this jack.

4 Stars Good for price.
We’re generally pleased with these phones and the answering machine. The only negetive I have found is sometimes when I answer the phone there is an initial echo that goes away after a short time.

5 Stars Panasonic Dect 6.0 Dark Grey Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG6433M
We love these phones. So much we bought the same ones for my folks for Christmas. I love the fact that it has 3 phones, you can retrive your messages from any phone, and you preprogram your phone numbers like a cell phone and by just a touch of a button you have made your call.

4 Stars Short on basics, but lots of extras
I have very mixed feelings about these phones. On one hand, the phones and bases are not too sturdy, the sound is a bit tinny, and I’m always hitting the wrong buttons. On the other hand, there are some features I wasn’t expecting that are rather cool.

Bases are rather flimsy and wouldn’t withstand much mishandling. The sound problem seems to happen when I’m near my computer, so there may be an interference issue. My problems with the buttons are that the soft and hard keys are rather close together. Part of it is just adjusting to the new handset.

A couple of features were pleasant surprises. Like my cell phone, I can select ring tones for individuals. There is also an audible caller ID for those who I’ve programmed in.

5 Stars Great Upgrade!
We purchased this phone to replace a different brand that was having charging issues. It was a great choice. We love the larger and bolder screen on the handsets. I personally really appreciate the “talking caller ID.” It makes it much easier when in the middle of doing something,I don’t have to run to the phone to see who’s calling, the phone tells ya!! Love it. My next favorite feature is that once you have you “phonebook” together, the caller ID tells ya who’s calling according to what was put in the phonebook. I personnally can’t remember everyones cell number, so now it tells me the callers name, instead of something generic like “wireless caller” and the number…..that doesn’t tell me a thing. LOL. Its a great phone, easy to use and program as you see fit. It can be expanded if more handsets are needed. Great for the price!

3 Stars Poor planning
Base unit and hand set buttons and printing are very samll making it difficult to operate!

4 Stars Excellent phone…
This is a fantastic buy for the price. It is a full featured, expandable phone (up to six handsets I believe), and does not have an answerer (who doesn’t have voicemail?). The sound quality is excellent – best I have experienced. The base is tiny and unobtrusive and the handset light. The batteries are NiMH AAA and included! No need to buy an expensive proprietary battery. NiMH batteries also don’t have the memory effect that NiCD batteries do. I still recommend that you not charge up your phone every night (unless you talk A LOT!), but battery issues should not be a problem with this phone. And if it is, replacements are <$10 away. How cool??? It is well-priced here at Amazon. The display is the nicest I have seen on a Panasonic phone, and I have used several: the text is very readable, and quite larger than my previous Panny phones. This phone also includes the belt clip, which was not included in some previous phones. I like it!

Now the niggles that take it down from a 5 (likely a 4.5 really). Still a bear to enter stuff manually into the phone book. Pretty lame choices for ring tones. Most critically, I am not sure if it is my ear anatomy or not, but I tend to form a suction effect on the headset such that at times I am unable to hear, I move the phone, it pops off my ear and I can hear again. I just need to remember to keep it loosely near my ear, not “clamped on” tight…

I highly recommend this phone, very very impressed.

5 Stars 5 star phone! Highly Recommended…
I recently bought another Philips cordless phone and it was sooo terrible – it was completely nuts, at the least it was anti-intuitive. I gave up trying to get used to it, got my money back and bought this one for HALF the price! This phone is worth every penny; it is effortless to use and has incredible voice/sound clarity. Seriously – pick this one up and make yourself happy…!

3 Stars Good basic phone, stupid menu system
I wanted a simple cordless phone without an answering machine, without multiple handsets, without a built-in jacuzzi or bread machine, just a phone. This one has a nice compact design and good sound quality.

Along with many other Japanese consumer products however, the menu system and manual are so incredibly stupid that you could entertain guests at a party just by reading the owner’s manual out loud.

Example: This phone has Caller ID. I frequently want to check who a missed call was from. So this is how you do it. Ready? Here we go:

Press Menu

Press #

Press 2

Press 1

Press 3

Press Down

There you go! Only SIX buttons to remember in order to look at your last missed call!

There are dozens of these codes for different phone settings – but nowhere in the owner’s manual is there a chart of all of them in one place. Panasonic always makes nice looking, long lasting hardware, but their manual-writing department inevitably produces these very poor efforts. I guess as a corporation they just do not think the ease of use is important. Or perhaps they do not understand how non-Japanese perceive the user interface. Panasonic, if you are listening, this definitely hurts the overall product experience. Three stars.

4 Stars It is perfect
Phone has a great clarity of screening for caller id. Also light weight and nice looking…..And found the jack for a headset. Making me a fan of the phone. Do agree that the instruction book is somewhat convoluted and not well written but think for the price it is an excellent phone.

5 Stars Clear
Item was received on time and in good condition.

Model is compact, modern and nice looking. Can be extended to more units if desired.

Clear sound, easy to use.

(Just a note this can only be used in the americas with 120 v, if you plan to travel abroad with this to 240 v areas, you will need to add a transformer and a converter)
