 Great Phone November 17, 2008
L. Sturm (Chicago)
The original phone, which I use exclusively in my home office, came with 2 handsets. Sometimes I am on the phone all day, so the 2nd handset comes in handy if I blow thru a battery.
I ordered this 3rd handset as an add-on to use downstairs. The 2-line feature allows me to also answer my home phone as well as my business phone. Upon arrival, I plugged the new handset and programmed to locate the base unit (one-button). This took all of 30 seconds. Fast, easy, powerful signal and great clarity.
This phone does not come with the optional belt clip, which is about $1. If you plan on using a hands-free headset (I recommend Plantronics), the clip is a must. Panasonic's customer service is great - they will help you locate the part (which costs more to ship than the clip itself).
Great Phone!
 Love them November 4, 2008

I love theses phone. I bought 4 of them to use in my salon. It is so much more professional to transfer a call to stylist then to call out to her. They are very easy to use,except when I have put the handset on speaker phone, I can not get if off until I end the call. I can't find directions about that in manual. But I am sure I will figure that out someday.
The calls are clear and easy to hear even over the hairdryers.
Great sound quality, easy to use with great features October 25, 2008

I have owned the base station for this product for quite some time. It works very well. I bought the base station knowing that I would need to add extensions at some point. I went over the reviews posted before I purchased two of these expansion sets.
I'm not sure why some reviewers say the sound quality is poor. It may be their choice of "phone companies," rather than the phones themselves. Many of the cable companies offer phone service and it's of really poor sound quality when it's compared with the AT&T or Verizon networks' landlines. Anyway, the sound on all of the sets is fine.
I especially like the fact that the expansion sets work off the base station. You don't need a telephone jack in the location of the expansion set and they stay charged in their cradles.
One reviewer wrote that it was too complicated to register the expansion sets with the base station. Huh? It is a simple operation that is spelled out in the short manual that comes with the phone and the instructions are even displayed on the phone's screen when you first insert the battery. All you do is go to the base station, hold the intercom button until it beeps and then press OK on the expansion set and it's done!
Lastly, I decided to order two more.
Work just like New October 23, 2008

Buy this handset. You'll save a ton over the new version and they work just as great.
 Difficult to hear September 23, 2008
Elizabeth R. McManus (Milwaukee, WI)
I typically love Panasonic - but I was disappointed in the sound quality of this phone and the design. There's no way to prop this phone on your shoulder and you can't add a shoulder grip from an office supply store because if you put a mini-grip on the top, you cover up the speaker and if you put it on the bottom, it covers and crosses over the battery door so you can't replace the batteries.
