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

My wife and I picked out this phone system to replace another Panasonic phone system(s) after one of the handsets was dropped once too many times on the tile floor and the handset speaker died. This new system covers our house fine and put the base unit upstairs to cover the whole house and extends to the yard as well. The only complaint really is there is no voicemail indicator on the phones when a phone-company VM is waiting - you have to look at the display screen. My wife is visually impaired, and could not see it. We wound up getting her a special phone with VM waiting light (and larger buttons for the visually impaired). Minor complaint is the AC adapters on the two cordless extra handsets have their cords permanently attached making it difficult to install the cord through small holes in a desk for example. 1" hole can be done carefully.

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.

This set is replacing a long used Panasonic set where an overused speakerphone finally gave out. I've been very happy with the new set and had no issues connecting my old handsets as well. The only knock I'd say is that battery life doesn't seem to be quite as good as my old set. But the added features, including one touch call block, are nice.

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.

I bought this for my 90 year old mother (who can't hear the phone but her caregivers can) so that we could contact her as cell coverage is sketchy at best in her area. The installation and set up was easy and the quality is great. I would recommend this for anyone needing a high quality phone that is easy to use.

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.
