Make a call from anywhere in the house with this Panasonic cordless phone. It includes a central base unit with an answering machine as as well as mobile phone connectivity, and it also includes caller ID for easy identification of who's calling. Five handsets come with this Panasonic cordless phone to let you distribute handsets around the house.
Q: Does this phone recognize/stop robo calls? Thanks
A: Yes, it has a button to press that blocks that number in the future.
A: The unit is super easy to block calls. There is a dedicated button marked "Call Block" and all you do is push that button." It does do the 'one ring' and that can be silenced according to Page 27 of the manual. Also says 150 numbers can be blocked. . This new unit replaces the previous Panasonic system I had for 8 years. It is new and improved. Hope this helps.
A: Ours came with only 4, but you can purchase up to 2 more handsets to add to the system.
A: It comes with batteries in all phones.
Q: What does DECT 6 mean. It’s not on all phones descriptions. Thanks
A: DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications, usually known by the acronym DECT, is a standard primarily used for creating cordless telephone systems. DECT 6.0 technology is the latest cordless platform, providing improved range without needing to boost the power. This platform has been set aside exclusively for cordless phone use, which means that DECT 6.0 models have superior sound quality and do not suffer from interference created by wireless networks.
Q: Is the phone able to record an incoming message from a connected cell phone?
A: I've been trying to set up a KX-TGD56 for my aunt, to go cell phone only. This saves at least $30/month with MetroPCS instead of AT&T "landline". The bummer is, it seems the Panasonic's answering machine only works with a land line. It cannot be programmed to answer the cell call and take a message after X rings. The aging auntie is not gonna be able to dig through the android screens to get messages - and you can't screen calls in real time either. Seems like other vendors also fail to support this behavior. I am quite disappointed.
A: I use a landline with mine, but no, you don't have to have a landline. You can use this system exclusively with your cell phone. I haven't tried pairing it with two cell phones.
Q: Do all phones need hookup to a phone jack or just the base unit.
A: Only the base needs to be hooked to a phone jack. The remaining phones come with a charging station that just needs to be plugged into power to charge them.
