I originally bought a Sony cordless phone, but had all sorts of problems with it. The battery wouldn't hold a charge; the sound would cut in and out; static would drown out any sound for five seconds, even if I was standing right next to the base! On recommendation of a friend, I bought this Panasonic, and love it. Maybe its not 900 megahertz digital whatever, but the quality is there. This quality is evident when you use the phone, and it easily outperforms a lot of the newer "high-tech" phones that friends of mine have in both sound and range. I have never had any complaints or problems with this phone.

I've got a collection of duds... 3 answering machines, 2 speakerphones, 2 cordless phones. I've never been happy with them. The answering machines would start eating tape or were not 100% reliable, the speakerphones would cut in and out, the cordless phones were the worst. Short battery lives and no range.

For some strange reason, I decided to toss them all away and try again. Finally, I've found a phone that I love - and so does my father since I got him one. Sound is crisp, clear, and loud in all modes - Speakerphone, Cordless, Answering. Functions are easy to use. The battery lasts forever, and I can easily take this phone around the block and still get my calls. Finally, I haven't missed a call yet. The digital answering machine works great!

My father has bad hearing, so most phones are no good for him. He says this is the best phone he's ever used.

Ive had this phone for several years now and it is the best phone I've ever seen. It is clear on both handset and base unit, the answer machine is clear to both the caller and listing to message on other end. I can go for 3 1/2 to 4 weeks on a single charge before I need to put handset back in charging cradle. Answer machine has toll ctr. which is also nice.

My experience with cordless phones has been bad. I am usually bothered by the reception, but this phone is almost as clear as my corded phone. I am also very satisfied by the answering machine. I especially like being able to operate the message review through the handset of the cordless phone. Just make sure to read the instructions regarding battery charging carefully. I was amazed to learn that one should NOT store the phone in the charger. Instead the handset charge should be allowed to expire before placing it back onto the charger base. I really appreciated getting such clear instructions from the manual. Another good reason to buy this phone.
