Panasonic Kx-Tgc212Eb Digital Cordless Phone With Lcd Display (Two Handset Pack) - Black

Needed new phones as mine had given up and I like to have a landline. These I found very easy to set up as although a different brand mostly the same as my old ones. I prefer not to have an answer machine, 1571 works fine, and these can be purchased with or without. You only need to program one handset with numbers etc and any others will sync automatically. You can set it to 'Auto talk' so no buttons to press when answering from charger, this you do need to do on individual handsets. Speed Dial keys again easy to set up if required. The only thing that for me is missing is the ability to assign a different ringtone to known numbers as it saves rushing to phone for unknown callers. Overall these phones suit my needs.

I purchased these Panasonic 'phones to replace an older Panasonic handset, which whilst still working OK, couldn't be paired with other DECT 'phones. The menus and so forth are almost the same as my old Panasonic, and I had things up and running in a couple of minutes. However, there are some grumbles. Build quality is not as good as my old Panasonic -- these handsets feel very plasticky by comparison. Annoyingly, the handsets don't have a flat base, which means that they can't be used in a standing position off stand. But the biggest annoyance is that Panasonic has just e-vamped the range, with new models that have better ring and earpiece volume levels. These 'phones are OK, but if you're hearing impaired for any reason, it might be better to look elsewhere as they certainly aren't the loudest house 'phones that I've owned.

When I bought this pair of phones it never occured to me in this day and age that they wouldn't have an answer service and so when I unpacked and installed them 'I was very dissapointed! But it was my own fault for not carfully reading the spec's, so rather than going through the hassle of returning them 'I opted to get another with an answer service, after all they are Panasonic Now my Daughter has a phone in her room aswellPS if you leave you phone too close to your PC you can have problems recieving calls so if thats your reason for buying a new phone try moving your old one first.

My old Panasonic phones died on Tuesday afternoon. I bought this new set from Amazon and they arrived on Wednesday. Impressed. It was simple to set up and I liked how it registered the phonebook numbers on the satellite set. Then I hit a problem. No dial tone. On the screen it said check your phone line. I went online to BT and did a check on my phone line and it came up with a fault which they repaired within the hour. I like the large screen and so easy to read who is calling. The phone ringing was loud enough for me. I was experiencing difficulty with that on my old set. Crystal clear on speaker phone which is a huge plus for me as I am quite deaf. My only nark is there is the OK button is not labelled but discovered where it is from manual and here's the slight nark. The text is small and feint in the manual but I'm not taking off a star for that as my eyesight is poor.

The ring tone is quieter than I would like and I have adjusted to the highest level.The instructions for adding numbers are not the simplest but as this is a house phone it not a huge concern.Phone arrived on promised date and as described .
