Panasonic KX-TGJ324EB Quad Handset Cordless Home Phone

NOT BAD
I was after landine telephones with Talking Caller ID, as per my parents current Panasonic PNL C1035 Triple telephone set, which unfortunately the load speakers were starting to fail. These new phones have the required Talking Caller ID, loud speakers and also facility to increase the incoming callers voice, even when using the loud speaker. Unfortunately I’d say the sound quality isn’t as good as the former Panasonic phones these were purchased to replace, but they were definitely the best alternative I could find, and trust me over the last four months I’ve tried many numerous options and makes. Price wasn’t a factor at all and I’d have happily paid what ever it cost no limit, just to get what my parents actually needed. The incoming ring tone even at its highest setting isn’t very load and definitely not loud enough for anyone with hearing problems, but I’ve managed to solve this with a separate little ringer speaker, which has a flashing red light as well as increasing incoming call tone sound and has definitely enhanced the incoming ringer volume. Not a lot of choice in the incoming call ringer sound options, but adequate. Not as user friendly as the previous Panasonic phones as far as my parents needs are, but for me set up was exactly the same as the previous phones and is quick and easy. My parents are 93 and 88 and are trying to hold on to what independence they still have and been able to receive and make telephone calls is not only important to them, but is also equally important to myself and my siblings. So I’d recommend these phones to anyone looking for something that’s easy to set up, as reasonable sound quality and the all important Talking Caller ID. If the sound quality could have been better, then these telephones would have been perfect, but so far they are definitely the best of a bad bunch. Given nowadays the majority of the younger generation don’t bother with landlines and tend to just have mobile phones, you’d think the telephone manufacturers of landline phones, would quickly assess their client base is going to be older and in the main have failing eye sight and poor hearing. The elderly require physical helping aids bot necessary pretty looking items. It won’t be long before landlines become obsolete, so come on landline manufacturers start to produce what your main client base actually need and are more than happy to pay for! I’d recommend these phones based on my parents experience and I was more than happy with the price given I purchased them as a gift.

Was easier than expected to set it up, very pleased with i
Liked how easy it was to set up as instructions clear and concise

Just plugged it i
When the phone arrived, we just plugged it in and it worked with ease, at least on the basic level of receiving and making telephone calls. It certainly looks good and seems solidly built.

Looking at the small print instructions, it obviously does much more than we are using it fo at present. We have yet to plumb the depths of its more sophisticated side but it does the basics very well.
