I believe that the original comments posted by others are not a fair assessment as the main feature of the Panasonic system is to provide you with CORDLESS phone features & cellular convergence for use throughout your home, NOT that of a bluetooth headset! If the original poster (or prospective purchaser) is set on using a bluetooth headset with their cell phone, then why would they even buy (or need) the Panasonic? As long as someone is within range of their cell phone, they can pair more than one bluetooth device, including the Panasonic cordless phone AND a bluetooth headset to the cell phone. No need to use a bluetooth headset with the Panasonic, just use it with the cell phone!

No problems with interference or hiss between 2.4ghz WiFi router (Belkin 125HSM) and the Panasonic phone system. I have both my router and the phone base on the same desk. If there were problems, they would be apparent, especially due to the close proximity to one another. The posts from those who state this is a problem have not bothered to include what brand/model WiFi router they are using.

My personal experience with this product has been overwhelmingly positive! I bought it as I wanted to have several easy to use cordless phones throughout my house and use only my cellular connection. I have no land line, or even a need for one. I've used Panasonic products for many years and this is one more great product from them!

If your main desire is to use a bluetooth headset with your cell phone, then why even bother buying this product? Just use your cell phone and headset only! I have T-Mobile service and use a T-mobile Dash phone. Works great!!!

Recently purchased this item with the hope that calls coming in through my cell would transfer to the base unit. Prior to purchasing the unit and handset, I checked Panasonic's website to be certain my MotoRazr V3 was compatible. According to their site, V3 is a compatible phone so I bought the Panasonic. Unfortunately, V3 (or at least my V3) has 2.0 bluetooth. The Panasonic KX-TH111s is ONLY compatible if your bluetooth is 1.1 or 1.2!
Was greatly disappointed in the product and have returned it after several calls to Panasonic tech support.

I purchased this cordless telephone to work with my Sprint Pocket PC Cell Phone, also known as the PPC-6700. The bluetooth connection located the cell phone and established the proper connection.

Every call placed and received from the cordless KX-TH11S worked as expected but the volume was very low and weak. This was a problem for both the caller and the person called. After a dozen or more calls, I determined this low volume unacceptable and returned the unit.

Still looking for a solution to merge my bluetooth cell phone to a cordless telephone, I purchased the at&t EP5632 to see how it would perform. The at&t cordless telephone worked great with the cell phone calls, both incoming and outgoing. All volume levels are good. Problem solved.

I thought that bluetooth compatible was bluetooth compatible. Apparently not for Panasonic. Be careful before you buy!

This is the second Panasonic cordless phone I've purchased in 4 years after the first one died. I should have learned my lesson as this one just died 5 weeks out of warranty after I just put another $200 into additional handsets for it. Panasonic customer service was gracious enough to offer to repair it but they quoted me a cost for more than it would be to buy a new one. I like the features panasonic offers but I'm switching brands.

Although this phone is a Panasonic & i've had great results with other panosonic products, it is not nearly as good as previous phones i've used. The battery life is short, the phone is hard to hold without hands. The sound is not bad, and the answer machine part is fine, but I wouldn't purchase it again.

We bought a base station and four expansion phones. The base station stopped working not long after the warranty period expired. Rather than lose the hundreds of dollars we invested in expansion phones, we bought a second base. The second base stopped working ten months later. Same problem: the display goes blank, the phone unit charges when placed on the cradle, but we can't make or receive calls because the phone doesn't register the base unit. We swapped power cords, tried different phone cords, tried different phone jacks, tried different power outlets. Conclusion: the bases are both defective. Buyer beware!!! This is a waste of money.

I am on my third base station for these phones. We like the phones and have five of them scattered over the house. We do not use the Cell converge feature as it never worked well for us. The base stations seem to go bad and we have to order another base station. Probably this will be our last base station as we will most likely change telephone systems. I have grown weary of reprogramming all phones and base stations.

This phones base unit went dead 3 days before the warranty ended so they sent me a new one, that one lasted 6 month which was out of the 90 day warrenty. FYI both units the base seemed like it was not getting enough power, I would put the hand set in and the phone would shut off. Then left it charge overnight and it would work then quit again [remember the base has no batteries and the power supply was putting out the correct voltage].

I also had problems placing calls after I finally figure out how to get the cell phone hooked up, placing calls was a problem, getting calls was ok. The blue tooth worked just ok, I went to the speaker phone instead. Also I do have a router and now I know why I was hearing buzzing on the line by reading the reviews. I thought I should make my own report. Also I had problems with the techs lieing to me as well for 2 weeks they told me the last phone was under warrentte and to wait for a letter, then finally someone said it was out of warrentte. It would be a great phone if it worked like it should and also if Panasonic would back their products and not have people that do not speak English well on the line helping you with the problem!

I purchased this product as a replacement for my base unit that quit working. I have 8 handsets for it. I got the base unit and it didn't work. I couldn't send it back as the package was opened. How do you know if a product is defective if you don't open it? Also, Panasonic would replace it for me but not with a base unit that is compatible with my handsets. I lost $100.00 on this deal.
