This phone does (almost) everything. I love the way it communicates with each of its mates. Intercom is really handy, too. Wish I had ordered the next model up with an answering machine, but that's not too important since I use the phone on VOIP. It just supplements my cell phone (used to be the other way around). Volume on voice is not great enough for my old ears and I can't adjust it higher than the three bars it offers. But I use speakerphone most of the time anyway. If you aren't hard of hearing, this will not be an issue.

I really do not care about all the bells and whistles that they pack into a cordless phone. I want a phone that I can hear clearly and the people that I am calling can hear me. The Panasonic Dect 6.0 does this. It has eliminated all the wireless and electronic interference that other phones failed to do. You can walk around the house and not worry about good and bad spots. This phone is so good, I bought two more add ons.

I purchased this handset to add a 6th handset to a TG6541 system I bought at Sam's Club. Registering the phone was simple and took less than a minute!

I've noted some other reviews which said that the KX-TGA6581B does not pair with bluetooth convergence on KX-TG6582 or KX-TG6583 phone sets. I can confirm the add-on phone pairs the same as the base units. The answering station actually pairs with the cell phone bluetooth so that you must keep the cell phone near the answering machine. The KX-TGA6581B handset menu is automatically reconfigured to match the base phones so that you can call both over the land line or cell phone line. I keep my cell phone downstairs and the answering station in the room upstairs above. The cell phone pairs just fine. I'm able to take cell phone calls anywhere in the house. I also like that the handset announces the caller for anyone I have programmed into the address book. Otherwise it pronounces the caller number.

I'm "on call" for work and this lets me move around the house without carrying the cell phone everywhere. If I could just figure out how to alert SMS messages, the phone would be perfect.

I was unable to register this handset with my base unit (KX-TG6500). I called Panasonic for support and was informed that this handset does not work with the KX-TG6500. The KX-TG6500 is now obsolete and Panasonic no longer makes handsets for it.

The additional handset worked fine and was compatible with the 5 set Panasonic TG6541 system I purchased from Sams Club.
I now have 6 units on the system

i bought this to work with my Panasonic KX-TG6582T (bluetooth cordless system). . . the original system works great but only came with 2 phones. . . these phones work flawlessly with the system (as they are recommended by Panasonic), however, the coloring on it does not match exactly. the color of the band around the original Panasonic KX-TG6582T phone is black, while the color around the TGA651B is silver(ish). . . not ideal, but not a deal killer either. . . esp considering how much i like the phone system overall. . . since the phones are never really together, they seem to match very well. . . no one else will probably figure it out. . . but i have to give it 4 stars due to lack of color coordination. . . seems to be an oversight by Panasonic. . . but would certainly buy these phone and the whole system again!

This phone delivers as advertised.

It took me some time to set it up, but after I waded through all of the instructions and menus, it does exactly what it is advertised to do. The sound quality is clear even in cellular mode. My BlueTooth earpiece connects easily and the sound quality is great. If you plan to use a corded headset with it, don't bother. The sound quality drops to almost inaudible. Use a BlueTooth.

When looking for a new phone, I researched several different sites for pricing and Amazon's was the lowest price. Amazon also made it easiest for me to order additional handsets so that I can have one in every room.

Now I come home from the office, plug in my cell phone to recharge, and don't have to worry about missing a cell call because I can't hear it ring or I'm too far away to reach it. I can also get my landline calls on the same line. I may even drop the landline eventually.

Purchased with two extra handsets. It was easy to set up and use. I enabled the Bluetooth option for two phones. The cell phones connect when we get home and come through the handsets clear and reliable. We charge our cell phones near the base unit so the phones are always ready. It works so well I am considering dropping our house line or switching to something cheap like Skype. I like them so much I recommended them to my boss.

I am sure that there is no problem with the quality or function of this unit. I just could not get to to register with my base unit. I had to give it a rating to be able to post this warning about use of the handset with older base units as it is incorrectly listed in the Amazon Product Description so I gave it one star though I am sure it would rate higher if I had been able to evaluate the unit.

I purchased this Panasonic handset from Amazon as the Product Description on the website stated that it was for the KX-TG6500 Series. I received the handset quickly and was pleased with the speed of delivery. Unfortunately, it would not register with my older Panasonic KX-TG6502 base despite spending an hour trying multiple ways to do so. The box that the handset came in lists 35 KX-TG base units in the Compatibility Table starting with the lowest model number of KX-TG6511. To my surprise, the KX-TG6502 was not listed.

I wrote to Panasonic Support as I did not want to return the handset to Amazon if it was an error that I was doing. They wrote back to me within 24 hours that the only handset that would work with my base was the KXT-TGA650 unit. I had to return the unit to Amazon which was easy due to their excellent return policy and customer service. I just wanted to make potential buyers of this model handset aware of this one limitation in pairing to the older base units.
