I understand that getting used to the Panasonic mindset on how to use their phone products can be a challenge the first time. So, if you're new to Panasonic, take a deep breath, slow down, and read carefully. This is no GE system you're dealing with.

And, if you're thinking of upgrading from a present Panasonic system -- do it! We upgraded from a 2.? (something) system and WOW! Crystal clear, easy to use, and it even has an easy intercom.

The system came out of the box and was operational with 10 minutes. Best phone system we've ever had. Highly recommend!

One of the best cordless phones I've purchased as far as sound quality is concerned. It is stylish and loaded with features. The down side is that the features are difficult to set up and are not intuitive to use. Particularly difficult is trying to review the Caller ID information stored in the phone - this is an easy task on every other phone - but not on this one.

These phone are great! I have had them for over a month and am VERY satisfied. Let me start by saying the last 3 cordless phones I have had were junk. So I am picky now. I would reccommend this to anyone... probably the best on the market.

The best way to tell you about this is list the Pros and Cons:

Pros:
Speaker Phone on each handset(Super - sounds great both ends)
Clarity
Battery Life - 6-7 Hours on calls w/SP Phone - plenty of charge remaining
Works with Phone company Messaging (blinks and Message waiting)
Caller ID
Missed call
Standard Rechargable Batteries AAA NMHI - WOW!
Can sync Address book to all phone
One Phone Jack
Can call any of the other phones (Intercom)
Range: 1000ft (near a window)other side 300+ outside inside perfect
Mute button (you would think this would be standard)
Belt Clip
Easy to use menus

Cons:
It has an answering machine (can turn off so bonus I guess)
Would not recommend for wall mounting.

Wow, this system works great. The clarity is top notch and has a great range. I bought this system to stop getting bumped off of my wireless network. When I hooked it up and used the second phone in the set, it bumped me off the wireless network. I figured out that was happening because I had the phone and wireless router sharing an electrical outlet via the surge protector. As soon as I moved the plug for the phone off of the surge protector, the problem disappeared. Answering machine sounds good and is easy to set up as well.

Overall we're very pleased with the Panasonic DECT 6.0 phones system. They are very easy to set up as each phone in the package was already pre-registered to the base station. They hold a charge very well. Probably over a week of standby. We don't use the answering system, so cannot comment on that. The reception is crystal clear. Range does not seem to be an issue inside the house. Have had no hint interference. I got a set for my Mom and she really enjoys them, too. She does use the answering system and it works very well. I like how when a call goes to the answering machine, you can hear the message left by the caller on the other handset's speaker automatically. It really simplifies where you put the base station with the answering machine since each handset can interact with the basestation and control all of it's functions.
