This is a great home phone system. It has all the bells and whistles. You can input your own color wallpaper display, name each phone for its location, no obtrusive antenna, great quality, I could go on and on. The voice caller ID is sometimes a little strange, but having owned the previous version of it I'm used to it. You will recognize what it is telling you in very short time. I bought this system (I'm using six phones and a camera)to replace a Meridian (Nortel) system that cost four times the price. The camera monitors the front door from a window in the dining room. I can see who is at the door from anywhere in the house in full color. This is the best one line system available.

I purchased the Panasonic base station with two handsets, and will eventually get a third handset. The features on this handset are everything that I was looking for. The voice quality is second to none and so far I haven't found any dead spots in the house as well as in my detached garage which is about 100' from the house. If I get tired of a ringtone, I just search the internet for another one that I like and download it onto the phone. I've downloaded pictures of family members into the handsets and when they call home on their cell phones, their cell numbers and picture appear on the full color screen. The only thing that doesn't work real well is the talking caller ID. Most of the time it is hard to understand, but I don't care about this feature and will disable it anyway. The handsfree speaker phone feature works well also, and is nice for those times when you are put on hold so you don't have to hold the phone by your ear for an extended time. The lighted keypad makes dialing easy at night, and the handsets feature a blinking blue light to indicate a new voice message waiting. I've had these phones for a couple of months now and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting a full featured, quality phone.

This is a good phone for the money. It has alot of futures and flexability. I bought the base unit with three headsets to start. Then I bought two cameras and three more handsets. The system can handle up to eight. The cameras are good but don't see anything in less light conditions. The handsets have good range but are lacking a belt clip. I would recommend this product.

This phone is everything advertised. The sound is clear and I have experienced no interference with any of my other wireless products which by the way that list is becoming longer all the time!

If you are looking for a very good cordless phone, consider this one. It is easy to install. The only feature I really don't like is the voice caller-ID; the quality is really bad. Other than that, I highly recommend it.

This is a great phone. I like the fact that you can customize each phone. You can copy songs directly from you pc along with images and create a phone book on the computer and download to all handsets. This is a great phone with all the features we'll need for a long time. The only negative downside is there is no clip to hang it on you if you like walking around the house or office. Other than that, it's great.

This is the best phone system I have owned. That said, it still has some short comings. One I haven't seen mentioned is that after months of use the screen gets cloudy from body oils from the face. I called Panasonic and they told me to wipe the screen with vegetable oil. This somewhat works. I have found by cutting a small piece of clear plastic the size of the screen and taping it on works the best. When it gets bad I just replace it. Caller ID doesn't always work, this may be phone company problem and not the phone. Also, the management of the phone messages and caller ID is rather cumbersome. But better than any of my older phones. I have now replaced all my phones in the house with phones of this system. Would buy again.

Just wonderful phone! This replaced other cordless phones that had poor reception as we carried them out side or through tbe house. We would buy again!

We are pretty rough with our phones, so we swtich brands a lot, but we always seem to go back to the Panasonic. This whole series is great and easy to use. I just plugged it in and is picked up on our existing system in no time.

I bought this phone, but I have been unable to use it. I should have read that it was an expandable phone that needs the base phone (MAIN) phone in order to operate properly. I have searched for the main base phone, but have not been able as yet to purchase one. So alas, the phone sits in the original box it came in. My fault, should have read all the print first!

These make great phones and work well with the main base station (Panasonic KX-TG5776S). My biggest gripe about them is their shape. They are incredibly difficult to hold between you head and shoulder when you just don't have a free hand. Luckily, it has a speakerphone which works rather well.

The battery can hold a charge for several days, maybe even a week.

Overall, it is a good phone for your house. I plan to buy more to fit into the expandable system (see the base station Panasonic KX-TG5776S).
