A:AnswerHi, Joe! We're not entirely clear on what you mean by mentioning that your number is a cellphone number. It would be helpful to know if this number was set up through porting or if you're using call forwarding. The automated call block feature may not function properly if call forwarding is active. We suggest trying to disable and then re-enable this feature. To do this, press MENU, enter #787, navigate to Unblock, and press SELECT. Additionally, we need to understand if this issue occurs with specific numbers. If it does, it might be beneficial to add those numbers to the "allowed numbers database." This will prevent them from encountering the automated greeting when they try to contact you. -M
A:AnswerThis model is a landline phone, not a cellphone. Charges for calls are determined by your phone company and are not related to the phone itself. -M
A:AnswerOnly guessing but it would seem like if you buy the same model, maybe the phone would work. Hopefully someone at the company or Best Buy could give you better help. Also, maybe they make a phone set with 4 phones. We like this phone and love the call block feature. It makes a great noise when it blocks a call.
A:AnswerThe range from the base to the handsets of Panasonic phones can vary depending on the environmental conditions in which they are used. Keep in mind that walls, interference, and other factors can affect the range and signal quality. Factors such as the construction materials of your home or office, the presence of other electronic devices, and interference from nearby wireless networks can all impact the effective range of a cordless phone. -M
A:AnswerHi! The KX-TG9542B (2-line model) has a backup battery in the base unit. Also, we have models with amplified volume that have this feature: KX-TGM420, KX-TGM450, KX-TGM430. Our models usually use another method for backup operation. -M
A:AnswerHi, Chris! This model does have a Power Backup operation. When a power failure occurs, the charged handset temporarily supplies power to the base unit. This allows you to make and receive landline calls using a handset during a power failure. The base unit will not perform any other functions. -M
A:AnswerHello! It's possible that the ringer on your handset is turned off. To verify, check for a symbol resembling a bell with a line through it on the handset's screen. To deactivate it, press and hold the 0 (zero) key and observe if the symbol disappears. Alternatively, you can adjust the ringer volume to reactivate it. Begin by pressing MENU, then the # key, followed by 160. Next, repeatedly press the arrow up until you reach the desired volume level, and finally, press SAVE. -M
A:AnswerHi! Thank you for reaching out to us. We do not recommend using two base units on the same line, due to issues caused by interference between the two units. Kindly be informed that KX-TGF882 is compatible with the KX-TGFA88 handset. For more compatible handsets with this base unit, please check our compatibility website at the following link: https://help.na.panasonic.com/answers/parts-and-accessories-cordless-telephone-handset-guide-use-this-guide-to-look-up-handsets-compatible-to-your-telephone-and-where-to-purchase .
