4 Stars Decent phone.
A decent enough phone. Caller ID works fine, phone sound quality is good. It goes through batteries faster than I would like. I just dropped it and broke it, and am buying another.

4 Stars GREAT LANDLINE
This is a great phone, but I ordered it twice in white and received black phones. Okay with me because it matched, but it may not make others happy.

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 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)

5 Stars A good buy
Bought it more than one month ago as a replacement of my previous 5.8GHz cordless phone. I had a gift certificate plus there was an on-line promotion at that time, therefore, it was a good buy for me. This is a DECT phone which works as a stand-alone phone (including the base station, not just a handset expansion). I tested with friends, all of them said that the sound quality was very good. Easy to navigate through the menu and settings. Provide “pause” which is useful when using a calling card. I haven’t found any disappointment yet. So far, I am very pleased with it.

5 Stars GREAT
Excelent, modern, very functional unit! My old 2.4 Giga phone gets cut-off during almost every conversation – never happens with this dect 6.0! Great!

4 Stars Pros and Cons
Pros: Relatively cheap, especially if you are not paying Amazon.com price. You can get these phones for 19.99 elsewhere. Small footprint. Looks good. Intuitive setup. Sound comes through loud and clear.

Cons: So far, everyone I have called told me that there is breakup and static and other artifacts on their end….worse than my dead Uniden cordless phone (also a cheapie.)

Summary: Decent for the price, but definitely not perfect.

5 Stars Great phone Great price!
Does everything I hoped it would. Good range and sturdy construction – I’ve dropped it more than a couple of times with no problems…
