Panasonic - KX-TG9542B Link2Cell DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone with Digital Answering System - Black

I work in a small office and we had a need to replace an old corded 2 line phone. After doing a lot of research, I settled on the Panasonic 2 line cordless with Bluetooth. It was easy to set up, and I synced my cell phone to it in a short amount of time. If you are at least moderately tech savvy, the set up on this phone is easy, although the menu could be easier, and the instructions could be clearer. Sound quality is excellent, and over all it is a well designed phone. I would recommend to anyone needing a cordless 2 line phone.

I've been using an older Panasonic 2-line cordless expandable phone system for years, and have always loved its easy of use and sound quality. But time and the need to incorporate new technologies for increased convenience made it necessary to look at something new. This model not only lets me talk to my 2 land lines, it also allows me to connect up to 4 cell phones via bluetooth as additional lines. While the phone only allows you to talk to one bluetooth device at a time, I never talk to more than 1 cell at a time anyway. The base unit is also compatible with any standard bluetooth headset…so I no longer have to use a wired headset connected to the jack in one of the handsets. When my cell phones are out of range (like when I leave), they're no longer "connected" to the phone system…but as soon as I bring it back in range they immediately reconnect automatically. Same if I turn off the bluetooth headset…when I turn it back on it reconnects. This system gives you almost infinite control. Configure each handset or the base to ring or not…on a line-by-line basis. Set each handset or the base to display caller ID info, or to announce it verbally. Intercom between the base an a handset (or between handsets), or conference multiple handsets in. Block repeating junk callers. I stored my entire computer address book in the phone…about 1000 names and numbers (it actually holds about 3000). Then, of course, theres the built-in answerer with up to 2 separate messages for each line…and each message can be set to play during certain time periods. Two separate voicemail boxes…one for each line. The handsets on this phone don't sound quite as good as the ones from my old Panasonic system, but they certainly don't sound bad. With my headset they sound great. The only downside I see to this system is that because of all the features, configuration takes some time and effort…more than my old system. But that's a consequence of the fact that this system does so many more things than the old system…you couldn't possibly include enough buttons and menu items to control all the different things this system can do. Besides, once you get it set up right, you don't need to do it again...

Easy to use and set up. Good sound quality. Batteries seem to not hold a charge as long as other portable phones.

It was an upgrade to my previous phone system and was intended to allow me more freedom around the house. The instructions and operating system were easy to understand and allowed me to set it up in minimum time. I have been very pleased with the outcome of the purchase and have enjoyed using the new system. It is much better than what I previously had. Recommend it for others. Thank You!

I recently changed my VoIP carrier and their device does not support a security gate call box. So I had to find a two line phone (one for VoIP and the other for the security gate) and have had good success with Panasonic systems in the past. This one also includes bluetooth sync with multiple cell phones so you can use the base and handsets for your cell calls. Confusing to the wife, but she's getting the hang of it. Too bad they don't include more handsets in the package, because they are not available through Best Buy and are expensive per handset. I had been using my older Panasonic set for over 8 years and I'm sure it would still be going strong. I expect this set to last a long time as well.
