Having moved to an old cottage with a 1970’s BT master socket the phoneline was quite crackly. We were not sure if our old phone was contributing So we decided to buy a new phone and as like most people we don’t use our home phone that often we didn’t want to break the bank. Having read the reviews we plumped for these Panasonic’s and were glad we did. Set up was very easy, charge it up for a few hours then plug it into the phone socket. The menus on the phone are all very straightforward and it was easy to navigate to change the ringtone and volume settings. ( I didn’t even need the instruction book! ) The ringtones are nothing very original but loud enough to hear in another room with normal house noise but not so loud that you jump out your skin if you’re sitting quietly reading a book. The phones also seem to improve the quality of the line and our calls are crackle free, which is especially important when listening to many companies hold music !! The numbers are bigger than other phones I have had which comes in handy when your eyes are nearing 40, the screen is very clear and displays the date and time. It does have a phone book if you want to store numbers if that’s your thing, if you have the feature it will display the callers number but I refuse to pay BT any more then I only have to. It works well on hands-free which comes in handy whilst listening to hold music as you may want to make a cup of tea or knit a jumper!! I know there are lots of similar phones around at a similar price but this has all the features that I believe most would want from a home phone at a good price, therefore I recommend.

First class product

Great, works fine, plugged it into router as we’re on Voice Over Internet. Clear sound. You can increase volume if caller seems quiet. Update: I bought this new phone when my old Panasonic base station died. It’s good but I don’t hear it ringing if I’m in the other room. Today it occurred to me that I might be able to pair the second handset from the old base station with this new phone. Yes, it works. So if you have an old Panasonic handset lying around, give it a try. The instructions are in the paper manual or online.

Although I had seen mixed reviews about these phones I had high hopes, particularly as I bought my mum a set of Panasonic phones that were superb. Upon arrival, I thought the phones looked great, felt good to hold and were so simple to set up. I also liked the way that all the data that you enter, automatically transfers to the other phones. However I then discovered several things that I didn’t like. With my old phones, I can answer a call simply by lifting it out of the cradle – without having to press a button, on this one you can’t. My old phone had a bright red flashing light at the top if I missed a call, this one has a faint yellow slow flashing light near the bottom that can easily be missed. I wasn’t bothered about not having an answering machine as I use 1571, but on this model, without the answer machine, you cannot record your own phone message. I could have lived with all those things but worst of all was the sound. Although I was told I could be heard crystal clear by my callers at the other end of the phone, I got a distorted, ‘muffled’ sound from them. Personally, I don’t think the noise reduction feature made any difference whatsoever, apart from giving the sound a bit more base. I made several test calls to see if the problem was consistent and all were the same. I even called with my mobile and that was perfect. So, I have now reverted to my old Philips phones that are around 10 years old. They don’t look as good, but the sound is great!

Netzteiladapter nicht für Deutschland passend
Telefon gut,aber der Verkäufer schreibt im Angebot nichts daß die Netzteile nicht für Deutschland passen.Auch keine Adapter dabei, deshalb für den Verkäufer eigendlich 0 Sterne.Wir wollten es schon zurücksenden, gut das wir genau das gleiche Telefon vorher hatten, so haben wir die alten Netzteile wiederverwendet.
