Panasonic - KX-TGD564M Link2Cell DECT 6.0 Expandable Cordless Phone System with Digital Answering System - Black

Pros: The 4 units allow coverage throughout the house; the intercom feature which allows you to call each unit and talk is handy; the buttons light up when you pick up the phone off the cradle; the clarity of the sound is very good; provides many features similar to a cell phone. Cons: The center navigation button does not light up so you need to memorize the positions for redial, phone book, volume and caller ID if you are in low light or don’t see well; the call announcer has very strange pronunciation that makes it difficult to understand; the phone is a bit too narrow for a good grip; you have to remember to lay it down face up or it pushes buttons, which is counter to a cell phone.

Product was easy to install and set up. Great value for the price

Works great. I can walk out to the mail boxes and not lose my call. My old one, I could only go to the steps.

I've used this phone for several months now and they are great. I like that I can play a message that was left from any of the 5 handsets but still leaves the message on the machine until I delete it from the base unit. Also, when the phone rings, it shows and tells me who's calling. If I miss a call but no message was left, I can easily get the phone number of calls that I missed from any of the handsets. It offers way more features; it even connects to a cell phone. The phone feels good in my hand but not so good holding it to my ear with my shoulder while I'm writing or typing on the computer. However, it has a speaker button that works great so if the call isn't private it takes care of the awkward shoulder holding thing. I'm very happy with it.

I love this phone. I had some AT&T Dect Bluetooth phones that wouldn't last more than 3 hours and the batteries were getting harder to find so after looking in Wal-Mart for replacements I picked up a Panasonic link2cell. I love it so much I took it back, went to Best Buy and got a set with 4 phones. It connects to both of my mobile phones just like the AT&T but also allows me to connect a Bluetooth headset to use with my landline. The verbal, audible and visual text/facebook/etc alerts are great! I have a Blackberry and an LG! Both connect and I receive alerts. I can definitely leave the mobiles in the bedroom on the charger and know if I have texts or even emails along with the fact the phones ring and I can set a different ringtone for each one.

Due to a problem with the interior wiring of my home I had to switch to a phone system I could plug into my modem. I was skeptical how this would work but it was easy to set up and the phones are clear and static free. It is also easy to add a number to the call block feature.

I bought these for my elderly parents. Setup was simple. Phones are easy to use for basic functions and I hear them much clearer than their past model. Great phones. I recommend them for a land line user.

Phones don't seem to last long in our house, but the last panasonic with 2 handsets lasted about 10 years and we really liked the features we used. So happy to find another, more improved panasonic, on sale, and upgraded to 4 handsets . Now we don't have to race to one central phone. The talking caller ID is our favorite feature, and we also like the ability to check previous calls using the CID feature, as not everyone leaves messages. Our last system had long lasting batteries....still the original. Hope this new version will last as long.
