Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this phone to replace an AT&T set that was beginning to give me some problems. I was tired of basic black phone color but the black Panasonic phones appealed to me because they had been given such great reviews.
Another gold colored Panasonic was given a so-so review because the painted buttons had lost their markings. I saw a Panasonic phone almost identical to this one at Sears and I liked the look and feel enough compared to other brands that I searched and found this one on Amazon and decided to give it a try.
The phone is really what I wanted. It has more than enough features to suit me. One feature that my old phone didn't have is "intercom". You can name each phone like "living room" or "bedroom" and if you are outside or in another room, you can call one of the other phones which you have named and talk to someone in your home or they can contact you. That may actually come in handy. The intercom "ring" is different from the regular phone ring so you know it's an inside call.
You can cut off the tones that the phone makes when you push buttons making it a pleasant phone to use. The buttons have a nice feel when you engage them. The push buttons light up as does the display window which is great for low light conditions and older far sighted eyes. The phone is light weight and a good fit in your hand. It really feels good and yet it feels weighty enough to feel like a quality product. The light gold color is a very nice alternative to boring black and it looks rich. The "off" button is printed in red and the "talk" button is printed in green with a green phone symbol added. Underneath the button for speakerphone is an orange label that says "sp-phone" and these colors all look nice on the gold tinted face of the phone.
The display window is easy to read and has a three section task bar at the bottom which corresponds to the three unmarked buttons just below the window. The three section task bar changes with the functions you are using. This is easy to learn to use so don't let that scare you.
To use your stored phone book list of numbers, you push the unmarked button on the left which corresponds to an open "book" symbol on the window task bar. Then you scroll down using the arrow keys on the big central button. Or you can push a button like 8 which represents T or U or V, for a name like Terry and the list will jump to the names starting with "T".
The buttons you use the most with your thumb are located in just the right places and so this phone was layed out really well. The speaaker phone is plenty loud and adjustable. I talk with my elderly mom for over an hour sometimes and the battery seems to hold up just fine. I walk to my mail box 300 feet away in a wooded area and the phone doesn't lose any sound and there is no popping or cracking.
The answering maching has it's own recorded message and it was good enough that I wasn't compelled to create my own which it will allow. I love being able to check and listen to my messages from ANY of the 4 phones. No need to head to the room where the actual message machine is. The phone takes up very little space on your table and a little amber light on top of each phone lets you know it's seated properly in it's cradle and is charging.
I don't use caller ID but I may give it a try since this thing actually talks to you and announces who's calling. My advice is that if you're tired of cheap feeling ugly phones don't hesitate to try this one. It has more features than I've listed here. I'm glad I bought it, and I'm glad I bought it from Amazon because they stand behind their sales. That's refreshing in todays business world too. I buy most of my products from Amazon because of that and I haven't had to return but a few and they made that a breeze when I did.
