I bought this phone for one reason and one reason only: call blocking. I was excited when I found Panasonic offered a phone with this feature as our previous Panasonic phone worked quite well (but no call blocking feature). This phone absolutely has call blocking. What Panasonic doesn't tell you upfront is that the phone will ring once before being blocked. That significant detail is buried in the specifics of the manual. Not so bad you might think? Not so. The blocking feature sends a busy signal back to the automated dialing system. The automated dialing system doing the calling instantly thinks "Ah-hah, someone home". It promptly schedules another call in 5 minutes. And so on every 5 minutes for about 40 minutes before finally giving up! I can't believe Panasonic is unaware of this. And if, as my wife noted, the phone needs time to process the caller ID information, I'd far rather it blocked the first ring of every call vs. this.

We are very pleased with our DECT 6.0 Pansonic Phones. The range is great. It works well with the Pansonic headset. I LOVE being able to block calls that I do not want to receive. (You know the 1-800-000-000 numbers. That you know are going to be tele marketing.) I like that the phone can be an alarm clock. The storage for phone numbers is nice to have. I am sure that as I use this phone I will begin to use even more of its features. The instructions are great.

No complaints with this phone. Reception is good, features are worth it and build is solid. I have no "white" noise issues that others are talking about. This phone is built stronger than the uniden we had. The talking caller ID is what makes this phone. The phone book feature only requires you to enter name and number on one handset and it automatically transfers information to other sets. The talking feature will speak what ever name you store in the phone book or it will speaker telco information. We also like the fact that it uses "AAA" rechargeable batteries. This allows you to always have a spare charged set of batteries....we have another battery charger. My only complaint is that we wish it had a battery backup for the base and if you could monitor messages as they were being left via the handset. Uniden has that feature. Otherwise, we likey !!

I just got my phone yesterday. I have yet explored all the features, but what I have seen is very helpful.
1. Battery life indicator. It has light indicator, which shows phone need charging. I noticed it before the first time charge. After the complete charge, it went away.
It also has number indicator right next to battery icon, e.g. 3, 2, 1, showing how much battery left.
When it completely charged, it display ready to use. A feature that is very good to have to prevent keep putting the phone on the charger.
2. Audio caller id. When the first call received after the handset was fully charged, my son was surprised by the sound. First, it sound of the phone number. Then I saved bunch of phone numbers in the phonebook, and now when a call arrives, it says the name from the phone book. Also, allow different phone rings for each number in the phone book. A good features to have.
3. Call block, which I have not yet used.
4. Answering machine was easy to setup. Just push On. Also, allow you to listen and delete the messages from each handset. A feature that is good to have.
Not so good feature is that use of Menu to access intercom. I have old AT&T phone, which has Intercom button on it. Once pressed, select a handset number 1 through 4. This phone requires you to go to Menu, scroll to intercom, and push tiny button to select a handset number. Not bad, but it could have been easier.
I am sure there are many other features that I have not yet explored.

I bought this phone because of 1 feature..... the ability to have a lock out during certain times, I love that option. I can ensure undisturbed time especially from tele-marketers who seem to always call either when going to be, or having family time.
The 2nd best feature is the ability to block specific calls.......
Yeah, this is a good phone to have, I would recommend it

This a great phone.. it has all nice features and menu is simple to customize. No interferance with wireless or microwave since it is Dect 6.0
Silent mode is great so phone wont ring when you are sleeping..

I liked the rechargeable AAA batteries it is using, that simplifies the battery replacement..

After searching forever for a good phone system we ended up buying this one. It is very clear, easy-to-use, the caller ID feature is very nice (you don't have to run across the room to see who's dialing), the call block feature is wonderful, and it is easy to use. Nice product!

We have had this phone system for about a month and are thrilled with it. The high points are the answering system that can be accessed by any handset, the shared phone book, and the talking caller id. The only downsides are that the talking caller id can be a little hard to understand sometimes and we wish the phone book held more than 50 numbers. Overall you can't deny that this phone system works great.

I have had the phones for a few months now and have been happy so far. The only thing I don't like is that there is no indicator to show how many messages have come in. There is a flashing light to indicate a message, or messages, but you can't tell how many; and once someone listens to the message(s), the light goes back to a solid light. So the next person to come along has no way of knowing that there are new messages on the machine. Other than that, no problems.

Initially these phones worked great. The reception and sound quality was superb, but after about two weeks they no longer work. The calls come thru, and the caller ID announces the caller, but I push talk and can't answer the call. For some reason, the phones will not pick up the caller. I had the lines checked by my provider (they're ok) and requested help from the manufacturer, but their suggestions didn't fix the problem. They offered to replace my new phones with refurbished ones. I'm very disappointed.
