    I have owned previous version of this phone set and I don't like the new one. It feels much lighter and cheaper, and the sound quality is very poor. I already threw my old set away, or I would go back to it and return this one.

    First of all, I like the Panasonic phone line, that being said this was a gift. Not what I I would've picked for myself but they knew i needed a new phone. It works so far as it should being that it's new.

    As wireless phones, they are great. As connect to cell phones, they really suck. They are unable to remain connected to the house cell phone - used solely as a home phone and never moved. The base has been located next to the cell phone and 7 feet away without making a difference. I'm replacing them with a different brand today, as these phones are useless to me.

    I wasn't pleased as the reception was a big issue as it kept cutting in and out where the line would go dead.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and feedback with us! The reception quality is also dependent on your telephone line, rather than solely on the telephone itself. If you're concerned about the range between the base and the handsets, it's important to consider various factors that can influence it, such as the placement of the base and the thickness of walls. To improve reception, we suggest placing the base further away from other electronic devices. -M Panasonic

    since I haven't yet been able to make the phone do what it is supposed to, specifically program in time, and after calling your phone number 3 times after being on hold for 20 or more minutes each time, then when someone finally answered, they were supposed to put me on hold, but instead, hung up on me. After the 4th time calling, I finally got someone with some intelligence and she helped me through my issue.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We are sorry to read that your experience was less than 5-stars.

    The sound is poor and distorts voices. I may have to return this item.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Our team will use your insights to ensure a better experience for you and others in the future! What we would recommend in this situation is to perform a test with an Intercom call if you have more than 1 handset. If the sound is not distorted during Intercom calls between handsets, then there is an issue with your line: either with the service from the provider or with the physical line itself (a damage). For making an Intercom call, press the Intercom button on a handset and select another handset in the house that you want to page. Have a conversation with someone in your house to see how the sound is. Please also press, on a handset, MENU, then this key # and enter code 122, and change the line from B to A using the UP and DOWN arrows. Save the option and press the OFF button. Hope this helps! If you require further assistance, please contact the Support Team via Live Chat on the Panasonic Website, Contact Us option, Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm EST. -C Panasonic

    The ring volume and speakerphone volume isn't loud enough for me. I do however, like the Call Block Button and other features on the phone.
