Not suitable as a wall phone
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jan
4, 2001
The display is fixed and angled down which makes it impossible to read when wall-mounted unless you are less than 4 foot tall.
The voice mail indicator is an icon on the LCD display and can not be viewed from accross the room. Most phones with this feature have a light that eluminated so you don't have to get within 1 foot of the phone to see if you have a message.
This phone didn't come with a short wall-mount cord. I used one from an old phone.
I have always been pleased with Panasonic procducts up until now. I plan to get a different phone and put this phone in a spare room where I don't have to use it.

What a great phone!

We needed a CORDED phone because the kids keep leaving the cordless in the basement or under piles of clothes somewhere. This phone has an excellent design, takes only three AA batteries (unlike other models requiring 4), has an easy to use interface with caller ID, memory, search, changeable level of contrast and clear instructions right on the phone. The ring is nice too!

caller ID is difficult to use
(2 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Nov

I had this phone but needed to replace it when it got pulled off the counter. I am just as glad to replce it because I do not like the caller ID. It is difficult to read and to manipulate to the number just called. Erasing numbers takes more time than on our old caller ID. I will look around for another phone to replace this one.

Not a Good Choice
(1 out of 5) by L Camp on Jul

I bought this phone for the caller ID feature. The display can only be read if you look at it just right and the caller ID stopped working after about 3 months.
Poor design. Poor quality.

Broken-Right out of the Box
(1 out of 5) by Joe Teixeira on Mar

I was really looking forward to this phone. I needed a caller ID phone that didn't use an AC outlet. There aren't many out there. I respected the Panasonic name but what I got was awful. First, I hung it on the wall but I couldn't read the display while I was standing next to it. I had to stoop down to about 5 feet above the floor to read the display. To program the phone I had to get a chair and sit in it to perform the program. That's when the big problem was discovered.
The LCD is about three lines tall. But only half of the middle line was "lighting" up. The LCD was busted! I waited a week for this? So far the Amazon return process has been friendly, but I dread looking for another phone.
Other drawbacks: no short cable for wall mounting, no free AA batteries.
