" ... I like everythinng about this phone! ... "
" ... Nice phone system ... "
" ... Great cordless phones! ... "

" ... Does not have call blocking which was important to us. ... "
" ... You call and the other party you call can not hear you. ... "
" ... However I purchased this phone system and the quality of the tone on some phones is so wavy that you can't even talk to someone on the line. ... "
" ... In this day and age why this phone don"t have call blocking? ... "
" ... Sometimes when trying to answer a call it says its busy, so cant answer. ... "
" ... Bought the phone to replace a worn out VTECH system and because I could block calls. ... "
" ... However, this is not noticeable until the phone battery dies and fails to receive calls on any of the four other handsets. ... "
" ... Second call I got past the automated part, only to be told by a recorded message that they were closed and to call back during regular business hours - starting at 10 AM! ... "

" ... I contacted Fife and they sent a replacement handset and it charged and worked great but now 2 weeks later another handset has quit working. ... "
" ... Unit stopped working 6 weeks after set up. ... Cheap policy on a defective product. ... They indicate it can easily take a month after shipping the failed until a replacement arrives. ... "
" ... But its been 6 months since I bought it - just didn't get around to trying to make it work any sooner . ... "
" ... but two months old. ... And yes, I've been experiencing the same issues as others . ... "
" ... I've only had this set for 4 months and one handset isn't working. ... "
" ... Well, at first it connected to both cell phones, and stayed connected for a few weeks. ... I've had quite a few Panasonic devices since the 1970's but this one is a dud. ... "
" ... After just over a year these phones are not always working properly. ... "
" ... Phones have barely made it past two years. ... "

" ... EASY TO USE! ... "
" ... Good sound, easy to install and use ... "
" ... The set up is simple. ... The operation of the hand sets is easy. ... "
" ... For the most part, I like this set, although the menus could be a little less cluttered and easier to access, especially with the previous caller list, which takes a couple of button pushes to access. ... "

" ... I now have the house covered. ... "
" ... And since it's a set of 5 phones, you can have them all over your house! ... "
" ... My wife wanted to keep our landline when we moved, but really only because she wanted the convenience of "extension phones" around the house. ... "
" ... These phones are great for multi room application. ... "
" ... THEY ARE AT THIS MOMENT STILL PLUGGED UP IN MY KITCHEN, BATH, OFFICE, BASEMENT, AND MASTER BED ROOM. ... "
" ... In this day of 100% cell phone homes it is nice to have a phone handy anywhere in the house without having to have my cell phone in my pocket. ... "
" ... Great phone and when you have a big house you need all 5 of the cordless handsets. ... "
" ... However, great phone unit for a small office environment. ... "

" ... The menu has changed too so I had to get used to that too. ... "
" ... I returned it for a newer model that has dedicated buttons for call block and cell. ... "
" ... You can set the ringer volume to zero on each handset individually but it requires a very complex set of menu commands and numbers to be entered and then all of that has to be reversed to return the handset ringer volume to normal. ... "
" ... Two phone would not work right so we just we don't use them Some times the buttons don't work! ... "
" ... It must’ve taken a long time and a lot of effort by many people to create such a totally unusable menu. ... "
" ... The buttons for the numbers are hard to push and It is hard to hear the person on the other end. ... "
" ... Ringer is shrill and trying to make any changes requires a degree in engineering. ... "
" ... I remember it took some getting used to with the placement of the buttons being a bit weird. ... "

" ... Great value with five handsets and smart features. ... "
" ... I can set the ringer to go into quiet mode, start time and end time. ... "

" ... phone book easy to set up will answer your bluetooth cell phones (2) if you want it to , just got it battery life unknown. ... "

" ... With a land line and these cordless handsets, we have phone coverage way outside the boundaries of our 10 acres! ... "
" ... With a range extender, these cordless phones can keep strong signal even outside on the deck and a distance from the house. ... "
" ... I added the $30 booster, reaches 600 ft. , put booster on porch. ... "
" ... I now have the house covered. ... "
" ... The range is far less. ... I've now got two signal enhancers set up, but I still have to walk twenty feet closer to the base in order to talk and listen. ... "

" ... There is no visual indication on the handset(s), such as a lighted LED or light of some kind on top, to indicate that a message came in and is waiting to be picked up. ... The display does show that status but that display is normally dark (when not in use) so the only way to know you have a message is to go read one of these darkened displays. ... "
" ... The display on the individual handset does not have as many options as previous models. ... This one doesn't have it so you have to physically look at the phone screen or the base (in another room for me) to see if you have a message. ... "
" ... Several of the the screens have gone blank or blacked out. ... "
" ... The display of time keeps changing by it self to a different time. ... "

" ... We still get occasional error messages but less frequently. ... "
" ... I bought this phone in May and its features worked great until June when I upgraded my Cell phone to a Samsung Galaxy S9. ... "
" ... sometimes I'll pick up the phone and for some reason that particular will give a in use message even though I'm the only one in the house. ... "
" ... The format of the phone directory is awful ... "
" ... So they don't tell you in the listing before you buy that the system is only compatible with a handful of Smart Phones. ... Panasonic is complete garbage for not at least warning buyers to check phone compatibility on their website (with a working, current, available list) BEFORE purchasing. ... "

" ... No manual came with it, just a little pamphlet. ... "
" ... Manual is useless. ... "
" ... I will agree with others that the one downside is that the delivered manual definitely does not have instructions on how to do a lot of the really cool things this phone can do. ... I’ve just taken to jotting some down in the blank spaces in the manual. ... "
" ... For one thing, the manual that comes with the phone is 23 pages. ... This list is only in the on-line manual. ... "
