Panasonic Cordless Review
This is the second one of these I have purchased - one has 3 handsets and a fancier base with speaker and one has 4 handsets. They are very reliable and easy to use. I like the fact that each person can program their handset as they wish. They could be a little sturdier. One of our base sets got killed off by a large power surge. All the rest of the equipment on that group was still good though, so just replacing that base wasn't too bad.

On the second purchase, we were upgrading because our old wireless phones interfered with our wireless internet connections. We have had no problem with the 6.0 phones in that regard.

Nice phone nice features: with a caveat for some
I really like the panasonics cordless phone quality, most other competitors do not get very consistantly good reviews so this is a good product.

I do wish Id of looked on amazon and found I couldve gotten this model with two handsets for like 16 bucks more though. To buy one seperate on amazon its like 37 bucks...sigh oh well my error.

My one gripe will affect those who dont want to hear noise (call screening while sleeping) turning off call screening is a two step odd process part of which must be done while the call is coming in or you have to call yourself to do it! Dumb why no button for it! (there is a volume button but doesnt stop call screening volume per book).

It stays off after process (volume of call screening) unless someone in house uses the actual charger base answering machine unit to check messages, then it resets. If youre not aware someone used the machine instead of picking up calls from handset you get sound. I live in a small space so this is a pain if you sleep days.

and a minor gripe: once you listen to a message, but do not want to delete, there is no reminder light that it is still there. No biggie but dumb.

I do like the unit but if it was made a bit differently Id be happier.

I did notice the volume on phone set at high isnt real loud (on some calls only) which is fine for me but if youre hearing impaired it could be an issue, my parents have a panny cordless very similiar to this one (new) and dad has to use speaker phone to hear (which runs battery down faster). (the volume on hand set is just too low compared to old analog cordless).

It does what it says and sounds fine no buzz. The phone handset volume is not simple to turn back on (no shortcut ringer on off button), you have to access the menu to turn ringer back on. If you forget ....you dont hear calls.
It does blink on its end and on display, when rings though.

I did not find a problem erasing messagings as one review mentioned I dont think its hard and is one touch.

Inspite of my gripes, It really is a nice system and you can purchase extra handsets later, and easily purchase new batteries which arent expensive at this time. "aa" nimh. Though you must charge them in phone unit charger or the phone wont recognize the full battery.

You can retrieve messages from handset and it blinks to notify you have messages, it even has some sort of synching for voice mail if you use that.

It also has multiple caller id functions (I dont use them) but its nice to have the options for some. Inc'd various assigned rings to incoming calls if you have caller id. And it will audibly announce the caller is you have caller i.d.

It has a nice phone book function, holds long numbers and spaces.

If It wears badly I will return to update :) Overall I do recc'd it :)

Great basic phone
If you're looking for a basic phone that's easy to use, this is for you. The sound is crystal clear, the buttons are large, and the answering machine works well. It has a small base so it's great for small spaces, which is the primary reason I purchased it.

Best Phone Yet
THIS IS A NEW VERSION OF THE SAME MODEL. IT IS GREAT
SMALLER AND STILL HAS ALL THE SAME FEATURES. I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THIS ONE.
¤

Very good phone
I am really very happy with my new phone. But the following could have been better

1. Call registering is not good. Expecting some thing closer to any Mobile.
it register all the calls missed and received calls in same list. And don't store the call duration.
The dialed number list is very small. It can hold up to 6 last dialed numbers.

other wise it's a pretty decent phone. I will recommend the phone

This phone has been a great addition to our business. It is nice to have a second handset so that you always have a backup.

Small Business Owner ( North Carolina USA )
Phones sound great; easy to set up and all went as directions indicated; probably great for home use.

Some irritating features (no directory fast dial buttons).

Small business problems: (1) TERRIBLE: an extension can pick up on an ongoing call - our antique Panasonic system didn't allow this but this system does and is an irritating issue I specifically did NOT want and couldn't imagine was not included in this system (2) too many functions require using the menu instead of convenient buttons (3) no mute button except on base station (4) memorized phone numbers are hard to use - have to use directory - no hot buttons - (but are easy to enter) (5) TERRIBLE: no DND or ability to send ringing call directly to voicemail immediately.

System looks great; voice quality is good even on conference and speaker, range seems fine. Would recommend for homes but not for small business.

D. Edelson ( Silicon Valley, CA, USA )
I like these panasonic cordless phones a lot. Great sound quality. The handset speaker phones work well enough. My only complaint is that after 12-24 months the batteries wear out and are very expensive to replace. Also, it you want to buy extra handsets its very expensive.

No complaints about the operation of the phone. I like the handset menus that allow you to see missed calls and hear voicemail from any handset. The intercom is cool though I never use it. The software for controlling the answering machine function could be more sophisticated, such as more powerful browsing through and reviewing your voicemail messages.

Fairly good range.

I really like this phone. I can remotely turn off the talking caller ID from any phone in the system. Also, I entered a number of a pesky toll free number that called me every night last week and it blocked the number after the first ring and hung up. GREAT! ! ! This is a great upgrade for the Uniden phones I had previously.

Ellen Dawson ( Lusby, MD )
I've been using these for several months now and I love these phones! They are perfect for my business out of my home. I put one upstairs so I don't have to run down the steps anymore. The voice quality is clear and the messages are too! I researched a lot before purchasing and it paid off! Well worth the money!

So far I love the quality of the phones. The biggest problem I have with the phones is they should have a belt clip. My previous Uniden phones had a clip and it was really handy if I needed to move around while talking and needed my hands to be free. Everything else on the new phones are acceptable. I gave a four star rating because of not having a clip. I have always purchshed Uniden phones because of the quality.

The reception is excellent even several houses away. The phonebook feature is easily copied to all the phones The battery life is excellent even if you forget to place it on the charger overnight.The 'find' feature is very helpful when a handset 'goes missing.' This phone doesn't have a speed dial (one key) feature but the phonebook feature is user friendly and one can quickly use the dial feature from that. Overall, I'm very satisfied. It's a great phone system. I highly recommend it.

Shannon ( Virginia Beach, VA )
My husband has a set of Uniden Cordless phones at his work and has been very happy with the quality and reception. So when our home phones started to go...we decided to order this set. So far...so good! We love having 4 different handsets spread throughout our house. The handsets are of a good weight and have a great display screen. I like being able to program the phone book and having a different ring tone for friends/family. Also, you can access messages on the answering machine from any phone in the house. The reception is great and the volume control on the handsets is very handy. The only minor complaint I would have are the bases for the phones. They are very lightweight and you have to be very precise in putting the phone back into the cradle or it will go flying off your furniture. Other than that, I would recommend these phones.

Very Easy to read numbers. The instruction manual could be more explanitory. Battery seems to be holding a charge well. Slim and attractive appearance. It is so nice to have satellite phones that by programming numbers in one phone can be easilly "transferred" to the remaining phones.... great feature!
......................................................

S. Wagner ( Bryan, OH United States )
I purchased this Uniden in November. I have yet to get a working battery for one of the units. The one which came with the receiver was dead. I contacted the seller through Amazon and was immediately sent another one. It was dead also. Would not work in any of the receivers. The seller agreed to send another battery, but said they had to wait until there was a customer return. No wonder some customers are receiving bad products. They are being recycled. Even if I get a working battery, the life will most likely have been shortened.

I basically have a 3 unit set, which I am happy with otherwise. Just frustrated with the battery situation and the hassle it has been.

I like many didn't expect much from the phone. It looks decent, and the call quality in my case was fine. But after about six months the battery doesn't hold a charge, can only have the phone off the charger for ten minutes before the battery is drained. The low battery warning comes on about 10 seconds before the phone shuts off, not really a warning. True it is inexpensive but spending time and money finding a replacement battery this early is a pain.

FLNative ( Kentucky )
I purchased a 900 megahertz Uniden phone back in 1997 & used it constantly for all these years. I replaced the battery once about 5 yrs. ago. The technology has changed quite a bit since then, & it has gotten to the point where a new battery for my old phone cost about as much as a whole new phone! So, I purchased this phone as a replacement for the old one. I specifically chose Uniden because the quality of my last one was outstanding. If this one lasts half as long as the last, I'll be happy! I just received it this week & love it so far. I would highly recommend Uniden & this particular phone!

Great phone for the price, clear connection, great features, easy to read caller id (which id hard to find on more expensive phones) overall a really solid choice for the money
......................................................

F. Royse ( PA, United States )
I've had this phone for nearly a year and use it every day. I've been very pleased, especially considering its low cost.

Pros:
The button layout is intuitive, and the buttons work well and feel nice. The dialing buttons and screen are backlit. The screen has 3 lines and displays caller ID info if you have that service. Sound quality is good, and volume is adequate and easily adjustable. The phone has proven to be durable, and the battery life seems good. I keep the phone near me during the day and return it to the charging base at night. It only runs out of power if I don't charge it for several days. The base also has a button to find the phone if it's lost, which has been helpful a few times.

Cons:
Occasionally a call will drop after I've been talking for a while. This usually happens when I lie down and the antenna is horizontal, and there are several walls between the phone and base. It doesn't happen often, though. The speakerphone is fine for conversations, but if you're on hold with canned music, the sound turns off and on repeatedly, which is annoying. It seems to need a continuous, minimum volume level to work properly. Lastly, if I hold the phone between my head and shoulder, which I shouldn't do anyway, sometimes the END button is accidentally pressed and the call ended.

Overall I've been very happy with this inexpensive phone.

A good bluetooth compatible phone would be a winner but this isn't it. First of all it is NOT universally compatible with all Blackberry models so check yours carefully. I have the "tour 9600" and it will not automatically connect with the V-tech, it must be manually re-connected if I take my cell phone out of range (I checked V-tech support and this is a known issue). The slippery super-sensitive touch keys will be mean lots of dialing errors. Other features are about as basic as they come, making this a phone about 20 years behind the curve. As soon as someone makes a good bluetooth model, this unit goes right into the garage sale bin.

This phone is worth its weight in gold - the DECT 6.0 technology works through my concrete house walls and the sound quality is amazing. I switched from a newer Uniden phone system that barely worked in my house, calls were dropped when you walked into another room. I can walk across the street while still on the phone with the Vtech - Totally worth the money and the bluetooth features are icing on the cake. The phone functions really nicely and it looks great - the keypad is very modern and easy to keep clean, no buttons just picks up your finger over the buttons. Don't forget to buy a couple of the extension handsets for the bedroom and kitchen, it completes the system and makes the system rock.

Easy to use. Looks great. Works well. Bluetooth allows me to use handset for my land line and up to two cell phones from one hand set. Has separate ring tones and dial buttons for land and wireless lines.

CRaymond ( Houston,TX )
This phone interfaces with Oticon's (bluetooth) Streamer. I've had the phone for about two weeks now and haven't had any problems. The sound I hear in my aids is great and haven't had any complaints from the people I've been talking to. Would like to find a bluetooth tv adapter that would work with Oticon Streamer as well as this phone works. I've tried the Motorola DC800, but it has a latency problem (sound not in sync with the video)and I haven't been able to keep it paired to the streamer.
......................................................

Under Pressure ( Texas )
We purchased this Vtech LS6245 along with 3 extra handsets. I'm happy with the phones. The configuration of the extra handsets was easy. The sound quality is good. The Bluetooth cell phone pairing works great and is more useful than I expected. We like the styling.

The main feature I miss on this and all current answering machines is the ability to have the answering machine call my cell number when there is a new message. We have a Panasonic digital answering machine that is about 12 years old that has this feature. I can program it with the 7 digit number to call whenever someone leaves a new message. It's really nice to get notified on my cell phone whenever someone leaves a message at the house. That feature has saved us a couple of times when the message at home was time-sensitive. Why oh why doesn't any current answering machine support this feature???

Another feature that's missing on this Vtech is the ability to have different ring tones for various callers (using caller ID). That feature doesn't matter to us because we don't have caller ID but I know many people need that capability.

But over all I've been pleased with this phone system and I'd recommend it.
