Always Know Who's Calling

A three-line LCD screen provides access to the name and number of the person calling, along with the date and time of their call. You can scroll through the list of the 20 most recent calls, and redial any of them with the touch of a button.

Hands-free Operation
A headset jack is located on the base, and can accommodate a standard 2.5 mm headset (available separately); a speakerphone is also located on the base, supplying you with hands-free operation. A redial button lets you quickly dial the last outgoing number, while the flash button provides access to call waiting. Handset and ringer volume controls allow you to adjust levels to your liking.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for small office/home office, January 5, 2007

It's hard to find a "standard" phone anymore, and the KX-TS600W is a good choice for a basic corded phone. The sound quality is excellent, which is expected for a corded phone. It supports caller ID and call waiting caller ID. And it does not plug into the electric outlet, which means it should work during an electric outage. The phone does not have an answering machine, which is fine for anyone who either has voicemail or another answering machine.

The biggest problem is that the display is hard to read. I would have given the phone 5 stars if the display had a backlight. Also, the phone is setup to check for voicemail by default. So whenever you hang up any phone on the line, this phone picks up the line briefly to test for the stutter tone that indicates whether you have voicemail. This is very annoying if you don't have voicemail, but it can be disabled by setting Program > VM tone detect to off.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Recommended, June 17, 2007

I bought two phones for my home after reading reviews and phone product details. No place on the web(including panasonic web site), phone details talk about requiring 3-AA batteries that I found after receiving the phone. New batteries die in less than a month. Replace batteries, same problem. Display is not lighted and hard to read. I would say panasonic should have provided AC adapter or low consumption battery product. I would stay away from this phone if caller id and speaker functions important to you.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible design, January 1, 2007

The speaker phone and caller ID only work when you have batteries in it. It takes 3 AA batteries and they last a few weeks at the most, and that is with light use. There is no way to plug in an adapter either. The sound with the handset is okay, but the speaker phone is not very good. I do not recommend this phone.
