Panasonic - KX-TGD563A Link2Cell DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - Navy blue

I originally purchased an AT&T system which only held 50 phone numbers which came as quite a shock since it held 1,000 in the call block directory. What were they thinking. The AT&T system went into the garage sale pile and I hurried down to Best Buy to pick up the Panasonic system. The Panasonic holds 3,000 phone numbers! No more pruning the entry list, there is finally room for everyone! I was drawn to the crisp, clean look of the system. The white with navy blue is really striking. It pairs well with the I-Phone 7 which makes it convenient to answer calls on the house line with my cell phone. The only drawback is the space allocated for names is a bit too short. They could have increased it ten characters and only stored 2,500 entries. We did manage to get all our entries made albeit with some oddball abbreviations. This is an excellent system and is well priced for the features.

Had for two weeks, replacing an older ATT system which we liked very much. First, you can't hear a caller's message or your default answering machine message in real time, so of no use at all in screen calls by listening. Second, I hate hearing the phone tell me, twice out loud, who the caller is. Third, the handset screen does not light up until you press a key, and that makes it impossible to read in dim light, but I guess it saves the battery that way. Fourth, none of the volumes are good for hearing impaired (not deaf by any means) as I am.

Panasonic has long been the best seller of cordless phone sets and this latest purchased shows why. The best improvement on this product is the one button CALL BLOCK feature. Another improvement is that you can select to have NO RING on the numbers you have blocked. They may need to increase the number of CALLS BLOCK capacity as the telemarking calls continue to increase. I also like the white and blue color scheme. Very pleased so far.

I bought this set primarily because it can be used with a bluetooth headset. So far it is working well with a couple of caveats: if using with a headset, you have to go to the base station to hang up your call, or turn the headset off to hang up. The system also has a feature that reads caller ID out loud, which I find worth-while, but is quite loud and no way to adjust volume that I've found.

This is a very feature packed and good sounding phone/answering system. The system includes 3 handsets and 2 base units and home station with the answering machine. The sound quality of the handsets is very good and the answering machine sound quality is good and much better then the next level of Panasonic phone systems.

The chargers for the phones not cradled on home base do not work at all. This will be my last BestBuy purchase because when I tried to get help with this product before surgery made moving room to room carrying a phone all but impossible no one could help particularly the wasted money spent for Geek Squad.

Super easy to unbox, plug in and setup. Have used Panasonic phones in the past and they are the most reliable devices. Have used others and they are not ergonomic and are not as easy to setup and use. Bought this for my mother-in-law and it was very easy for her to use! Would definitely buy again and/or recommend to others!

Have purchased several Panasonic sets, but disappointed in this one. A nice handset w/good large buttons. No choice for "rings to answer" as all other Panasonics we've had. Poor quality voice mail play back. Limited ring tone selection. Short return satisfaction period for adequate review.
