Impressed
So far, so great for this set. Phone set up was simple. All the receivers hooked up with the main receiver. Pairing the cell phone with the system worked on the first try and then getting the contacts from the cell phone into the system again worked on the first try, no problems. Being able to important dozens of numbers that quickly and easily is very convenient.It is early on and we need to test out the other features, but the setup was perfect.

Very nice phone with lots of features
I bought this 5 handset phone to replace a similar, but very old, Panasonic 5 handset phone. I was happy with the old phone, but some of the old handsets started to fail (no screen or keytone) and could not be remedied with new batteries or other troubleshooting steps. So far, I’m very happy with this replacement.It was easy to install and setup. Of course, the 99 page manual is a bit daunting, but it is actually comprehensive and understandable. Keep it in a safe place since you may need to refer to it.Another reviewer mentioned they didn’t like the wall mount. It does stick out a bit more than my old phone, but it’s fine. I don’t even notice the difference at this point.One initial oddity was that when an incoming call came in, I could hear a ring in the bedroom, but not elsewhere. The Panasonic phones rang on the second ring. Turns out that is a built in feature. It’s supposed to delay on the first ring in order to screen “one ring” calls. It was an old conventional landline phone that rang on the first ring. I turned off the first ring block so all phones now ring on the first ring. It wasn’t a big deal, just an oddity.I can’t say for sure whether the 14,000 call block feature actually works. But I don’t get many robocalls anyway. Some calls are identified by my provider as “spam risk”, but I never answer those calls. I may start adding them to the “call block” feature, although that may get tedious.One annoyance: When listening to a recorded message on a handset (as opposed to the base unit), there is no “erase” option like on my old handsets. When the message is playing you have to hit “pause” and then “menu.” That makes no sense. Fortunately, there is a key shortcut – *4 – you can hit to quickly erase the message.I have not used the cell-link feature. I’m not sure I see a need to answer my cell using a handset. However, I may try it out at a later time.Overall, I’m very happy with this Panasonic phone system and hope it lasts as long as my prior Panasonic phone.

Great call blocking but handset sound quality not as good
We replaced a Panasonic cordless phone set like this that was at least 10 years old because of the of the call blocking features the newer model has. Call locking is great. We used to get maybe 30 robocalls a day, but now the phone is very quiet. However we have noticed that the sound quality of the new handsets is not as good as the old ones were. Knocked off one star for that although I would still judge it as being adequate. I do like the bigger buttons that are backlit on the new handsets. They are very nice. I’m still glad we replaced them because of the extensive call blocking features it has. The 90 page instruction manual can be daunting, however the default settings seem to be pretty good initial choices for everything. Be sure to download your cell phone address book into the base station, everything will work transparently for people on your phone list once you do that. By the way, the phone can be paired with up to two cell phones through Bluetooth. I found that I had to pair my cell phone with the base station first to download the address book. The instructions say you can do it without pairing, but I was not able to make that work with my phone.

Very Good Upgrade
This replaced a 5+ year old Panasonic Dect phone system. The Link2Cell feature for 2 cell phones is excellent; we don’t have to carry the phone around the house. The 5 handsets get strategically placed throughout the house for convenience. The ease of blocking callers is excellent and there are plenty of spaces open for blocking. Audio quality is excellent whether talking on the cell through the panasonic headset or on the land-line phone (yeah, we still have one).

Signal and battery not lasting
The batteries don’t last long just one day and they lose signal if i go outside not like the other Panasonic phones I had before they lasted for 2-3 days on charge and I could go anywhere out in my yard and not lose signal

14,000 blocked numbers & I can add another 3,000 blocked numbers
Why didn’t I choose something more important, for the headline. Because we already owned a very similar phone system from Panasonic, that we had approximately 10 years. This phone system is excellent. The newer system makes it easier to block calls but otherwise the features are very similar. It was easy to set up and worked the first time. I added 440 phone numbers from my iPhone 16 and it took only 3-4 minutes to copy them. Why did I tell you about the iPhone 16? Because Panasonic said they didn’t know if it would work with the new phones, as it hadn’t been certified for this system. We bought this new system because we thought the base unit had died. It turned out to be the VOIP box from Verizon that failed. We kept the new system because of the age of our old system, but otherwise it would still be working.

Desafortunadamente, me llegó este kit incompleto, lo tuve que devolver. Por la marca y tal como observé los aparatos, es muy probable que el funcionamiento sea muy satisfactorio pero, para mÃ, no lo fue tanto al estar incompleto.
