This Panasonic phone system is the best we have ever owned. It is very clear, has great distance capability, and has no interference with our wireless computer network. In fact, this set is for our weekend place; the first set we bought is at our main home with 6 total phone sets.

I highly recommend this system; look no further!

Oh, yes, there are lot's of glowing reviews about this product. Just want you to know that the phone itself is OK, but beware of the answering machine function in the phone.

The phone system I recieved and three replacements all had a problem recognizing when someone hung up when we did not answer. When the calling party hungup, this Panasonic system tried to dial out. It then would go nowhere, end up at the telephone company, and proceed to record everything during that time. It was not unusual to have several messages that lasted five minutes each on our recorder, all resulting from people calling and hanging up without leaving a message. Sometimes it would work OK, but it usually did not. I received three replacements after the orginal. All had the same problem.

The service people at Panasonic were pleasant, but I don't think they ever tried to actually fix the phone system. They would routinely, like robots, send out a replacement, all with the same problem, even after I would explain the problem over the phone and in a letter each time I returned it. I eventually returned the system and got my money back. Do not buy this system if you want to use the answering machine.

This is a great phone.
There is one base that hooks into the phoneline, and the rest of them just plug into the wall.
There are a series of different rings,
and the telephone is very easily set up.

Enough has been written about these phones. For the most part these are a nice set of phones. I am just going to give the negatives.
1. No volume control. 99 percent of the time the volume is fine. But...
2. No lit keypad. What? Not a big deal to me, but come on.....
3. They managed to goof up the caller ID menu on this phone. Some of it is better than the earlier phones like these, some of it is stupid. The caller ID does display when the calls come in, but if you want to go into the caller ID and see who might have called earlier, well grrrrr
There is one positive that is nice, these phones use just regular rechargeable AAA NIMH batteries, no more hunting for special batteries for your phones.

I read all of the recommendations for this phone before purchasing it...most of them were glowing...this is the worst phone that I have ever owned...has very limited range, and calls are constantly dropped...literally, in the middle of a call, with no warning the phone suddenly starts to busy signal over and over and the call is lost ( a major problem if it is an important call and a huge nuisance otherwise!)...I called panasonic and was told to unplug the phones and plug them back in again, and to reinsert the batteries....no help there at all!!! I would have given no stars, but the rating system does not allow for it.
