The weak point is the #1 on the handsets. I owned the previous generation of this product. Probably the only reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 THis also happened on my home model single line.Panasonic got cheap and now makes you pay extra to order belt clips. I work in a harsh environment, so we have gone through other systems in about 6 months. This last one went for over 3 years.
You can hear the person you are talking with clearly. My 3 prior AT&T phones didn't last more than 4-10 months.
From my experience so far, I would recommend this phone over AT&T and VTech. The background hum eventually got so loud, I could barely hear the person I was talking with.
I've only had this phone for a week, but it is already better than the 3 other AT&T phones I've had over the past 2 years. The phones appearance is so-so, but it is very functional and that matters more to me than a sleek appearance with lousy sound quality.
I hope the phone lives up to my praise over the long term. The best thing about this phone so far is that it doesn't have any background hum in the handset(all 3 AT&T phones did).
The volume in the handset is more than adequate.
Now the handset is working again but not the base unit, and only if i leave the back off the base. Panasonic KX-TG6700, 5.8GHz Cordless PhoneI have had bad luck with Panasonic phones dying after a couple of years, but the features of this phone were what I needed so overcame my reluctance. I don't know but this is the 4th Panasonic phone I've bought that did not live to a normal replacement age. Maybe Panny is taking a cue from the Auto companies who planned to have their products fall apart after a couple of years so you'd have to buy new ones. The phone has worked fine for several years but this morning every light was on and the phone was inoperable. The issue is apparently the ribbon connector to the circuit board in the phone (a number of troubleshooting forums have addressed this problem), which i managed to disconnect to reboot the board.
Other revewers gave great information and I'd recommend this phone if this is what you are looking for. The portable design is good and it has all of the good features you'd expect. This is a good phone - not great , but good. The handset volume is a little low and depressing the phone line buttons is also a little difficult to switch from one line to the other.
it is a pain to sync each phone with the household phone book. this phone is cool but it really lacks range. the answering unit is only ok it does not have very user friendly controls for saving or reviewing messages after a period of time. if i grab the wrong phone it may not have the number i need in it. i would have thought i could go further before losing calls.nope. Each phone has a individual phone book which could be cool in certain situations but is a real pain because every phone in my house has different numbers.
