These phones were easy to set up and you only need to enter your list of contacts once as the phones are linked. I find the volume is good and phone is easy to work. It was a reasonable price and I’m happy with them.
Bought these to replace previous one version of these that were over 15 years old. They do everything you expect and work really well. They are easy to set up. The base station is compact and the unit has easy to use buttons to opperate the answer phone option. I haven’t had to use that as in this day and age people just call your mobile if they need you. The phones seat well in their bases and the size, button layout and weight are good for elderly people. The blue back lit screen is OK, but not super easy to see if your eyesight is really poor. The phone book is simple to set up and use. There is a previous caller list and a redial button. There are no dedicated quick dial buttond as far as I can see. The bases have a blue light so makes them easy to find in the dark. We have had one handset off charge for 3 days before it still had one bar. There is a find option on the base station to locate missing handset. My phones work everywhere on my property even at the bottom of the garden.
Immensely better in all respects from previous Panasonic trio set. Bigger buttons make dialling easy. Great that number entry on to one phones directory, is automatically loaded to the other two.
The important thing about a phone is whether it works or not. This works very well, good and clear with no crackles.
It feels cheap which is hardly surprising as it was the cheapest available, but that doesn’t interfere with sound quality.
Biggest fault is it doesn’t nestle well in its cradle and falls out at the least vibration.
Took me alittle while to get used to putting names and numbers in, but did it, and got special name and numbers into speed dail
They have been very useful
Ok great basic phone sound bit low I sent my back as I could not get them to go back to home screen unless I put it back on base ,and there there was no home screen ligh
It’s a good phone, very easy to follow the instructions to set it up. Good sound quality. Nice big screen as well.
The only issue is the stand. This is not very good, it’s easy for the phone to fall off with the slightest knock.
The instructions say charge for 16 hours before connecting to the telephone socket. After 16 hours they just had the message “unavailable” on screen and the battery charge indicator was still showing near empty. I would estimate that it took 2 days before they charged and would connect properly. This was rather worrying and I thought that they were defective. However they now seem to be working OK. The stands do not hold the phones very securely so it’s easy to knock them over. I’ve only had them working a few days now so I haven’t tried all the features. They are certainly a lower quality product than my previous Panasonic phones, but they’re cheaper and you get what you pay for. I bought the bundle of 3 and they are all preconfigured to talk to each other whereas the Panasonic’s require you to ‘pair’ each headset with the base station so these BT units score there. I guess OK for the price.
