Panasonic Cordless Phone System with Answering Machine, One-Touch Call Block, Enhanced Noise Reduction, Talking Caller ID and Intercom Voice Paging - 4 Handsets - KX-TGF544B (Black)

Update, 2 1/2 years later: Still loving this phone system, it still works just fine. Ok, it has a little trouble with pronouncing the caller ID names sometimes. And with 7/8 of our incoming calls being spam I wish the call block list was more than just 250. 5000 would be nice. The algorithm for reviewing the missed calls seems to be the regular call log, but this is not a big deal. The hand feel of the phone is just right and we are very pleased with the tone and clarity.################This is a superb multi handset phone system. It has every feature I could ever want. The sound quality is top notch. This system is also compatible with Panasonic's special handsets for the hearing impaired and the one they make for outdoor use. It comes with a full set of rechargeable batteries, although I replaced them with the high output EBL 1100 mAh rechargeables for extended talk time. The handsets are well designed, nicely shaped, and neither too heavy nor flyweight. The handset chargers are stable and don't slide around. Overall this is a very well made and designed product. The instruction manual is very detailed, well done and easy to read, but the phone system is so intuitive you hardly need it.Ok, the ringer isn't thunderously loud, but it's loud enough. And with all these handsets all over the house I can always hear the phone ring no matter where I am.

I spent about two weeks reading reviews on Panasonic and AT&T cordless phones prior to ordering this one. I finally settled on the Panasonic phone for the following reasons(1) I have always liked Panasonic phones and this particular model will block 250 numbers and (2) The required batteries are easy to obtain and will probably cost less to replace. I have had the phone and its' 3 handsets for about a week now and everything seems to working fine. It comes with an owner's guide that is 65 pages long and it fairly easy to figure things out. Many of the settings one would like are set as the "default" setting so that saves some time in setting things up. All handsets seem to be holding their charge and the sound quality seems to be fine, including the answering machine. You have probably read that newer Panasonic phones seem more cheaply made than older Panasonic models. It is true that the handsets and base are lighter. However it may because of advanced technology and/or the attempt to cut costs. In, summary, I have not been disappointed with this purchase.

I bought this phone system a year ago. Overall I like it and would buy it again despite some annoying flaws. It has a super easy call block option that is worth it’s weight in gold. Would purchase again just for this feature! It’s held up over time well. Buttons on it are pretty intuitive. However I dislike the message retrieval set up. The old phone system I had from this manufacturer allowed you to erase the messages from the handset, this one does not. You have to always go to the base to do this, which has made me miss some messages, thinking they were the old one I didn’t get a chance to erase yet. Minor hassle, but one nonetheless. The other downside is that the battery charge lasts about half as long as my previous phone set. In addition, it comes with a really annoying voice that says low battery over and over and you have to manually turn this off all of the handsets. Very annoying when this loud voice wakes you out of a sound sleep. Who thought that was a good idea??It’s tough to find useful landline phone systems these days. Would recommend this one but it’s not perfect.

This is a replacement for an older panasonic system which the handsets were failing on. Delivery was fast. I love having enough phones again. The Call Blocking is outstanding! Especially since I can turn off the first ring which keeps the phones from ringing for the blocked numbers. Set-up is not as complicated as some say. But, there are two minuses. First, the new handsets do not signal when a new message was left. My old phone handsets would blink a light to easily let us know there is a new message. Now, we have to pick up the handsets and check to see if a message was left every time we come home. Just a convenience we really miss. Plus, as others have noted, the new panasonic handsets have weak batteries. But, we would definitely buy again. Additional Review: The phones are just over 2-years old and are starting to fail. So, we are going to have to replace the system with a newer Panasonic system.

My second purchase for a cordless phone with base system for my house. Great Brand Panasonic, love the instant call block, has a nice base with answering machine, too many functions to list but excellent reception and sound - on this 4 unit. Very nice, really good price.

This was replacing my old Panasonic phones. Love all the features it has and it's a good price.
