Summary: The basic function of the handset (talking/listening) works very well. Some of the other features, however, are lacking. The answering machine messages are very fuzzy and sometimes words from a cell phone message could not be understood. The base is wide and the antennas sticking up are old school just don't fit with modern phone designs any more. from Buydig.com Other reviews I've read stated that the Talking CID was unintelligible and a low volume, neither of these is true for my phones. The menus are easy to follow and it was easy to program the phones. I haven't used the answering machine yet. I've been waiting for the phone company to turn off my voice mail. from Circuitcity.com The sound quality seems to be excellent. The voice caller id is a nice feature but you cannot always understand who is calling unless they have an easy name to pronounce. I like the fact that you can access the answering machine messages from any handset not just from the base. My only real disappointment is that the description on the specs states that it is wallmountable. from Circuitcity.com Summary: My overall opinion of this phone is favorable as it had the options I was looking for. It's easy to use and expandable. The handset is not too small which makes the buttons easier to read. from Buydig.com I purchased the phone to replace the Panasonic that I had for about 4 years. The older phone was rich in functionality and performed outstandingly well. from Amazon.com I purchased the phone to replace the Panasonic that I had for about 4 years. The older phone was rich in functionality and performed outstandingly well. from Amazon.com Base unit ring volume set high. Same for handheld unit. Phone does not respond to incoming calls in any way -- no flashing light, no answering machine pickup, no ring. Phone makes outgoing calls fine. from Amazon.com Base unit ring volume set high. Same for handheld unit. Phone does not respond to incoming calls in any way -- no flashing light, no answering machine pickup, no ring. Phone makes outgoing calls fine. from Amazon.com These phones were also fairly expensive and are past the return date, which is unfortunate. The reception is terrible. I will not be purchasing another panasonic phone in the near future if ever. from Amazon.com Being generally a fan of panasonic phones, this one was a disappointment in several ways. (I imagine that the Panasonic KX-TG5576M would get the same review since it offers a color handset but the same 'guts', and the phones of one unit are compatible with the other.) from Amazon.com
