I have had this phone for only one month, but it is easy to use and so far it works just fine!

Shopped for quite awhile for a phone, this one had all the features I wanted and the audio caller ID is a great bonus! Easy to use, sound is good. I'm very happy with it.

Compact and clear sounded cordless phone. The only down side I saw is the blinking of the new messages is very fair in bright room, you sometimes miss to check messages until later. Overall, recommended.
 A lot of small annoyances add up to a bad product January 24, 2008

I bought this phone to replace my old 900mHz Panasonic cordless phone, which I had for years, but once I moved out of a studio apartment, I needed a phone with more range. Unfortunately, I bought this phone.
The phone works as advertised, the signal is strong, and the voice quality is great, but everything else about this phone is awful:
1. The ringer at the base is MUCH louder than the ringer on the handset. If they are anywhere near each other, the base drowns out the ringing of the handset, making it impossible to locate by sound (there is no independant volume for the base.
2. The speaker phone is located on the handset. This is possibly the dumbest thing ever. In my old Panasonic phone, if I could not locate the receiver, I could just answer fromn the base using the speaker phone. With this model, if you do not find the phone in time, you miss your call.
3. The LEDs are in the wrong place. The back-lit lcd screen is great, and generally easy to read, but unlike previous Panasonic models, the keypad is not backlit. Without backlit keys, dialing in the dark is difficult, and with all the superfluous buttons on the keypad (more than my cell-phone) dialing in the dark is impossible.
4. The voice-ID is the most annoying thing in the world. The phone will actually call out the name of the person calling you (as long as their name is in your pre-set phone book), but this option cannot be shut off. There are directions in the owners manual to disable it, and I followed those directions, the display says that this feature is disabled, but the phone still spouts off in an annoying female voice "Call from Veri-zone Weer-ells" any time someone calls me from a cell-phone.
The attached answering machine has it's own problems, but the sum of it all is that Panasonic has taken a huge step backwards in the usability of their phones.
This phone is so annoying that I am going back to my old 900mHz phone, and will just deal with the static when I wander into the kitchen.

We got a refurbished model from the 'used & new' link for $30. Speakerphone sounds great (harder to be heard, but works well when on hold); you can check messages from the handset; standard headset jack; easy-to-use phonebook; clear, readable blue and gray lighted screen. Nice range, great sound. We don't have caller ID, so can't test that talking caller-ID function, but it sure looks cool. No flaws so far, and Panasonic has a great reputation for reliability...
