Panasonic Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, Advanced Call Block, Bilingual Caller ID and Easy to Read High-Contrast Display, Expandable System with 3 Handsets - KX-TGD833M (Metallic Black)

We needed a landline because unfortunately our phones from US Cellular do not get a signal half the time, even in our own home. These have come in handy and my son knows how to use it in case of emergencies. It is easy to program and the speaker phone feature works well. We also like the color and clarity. The charging stations are nice so we can place a set of two throughout the house.

Yes, some of us still have landlines! The set that I had was about 20 years old and the batteries kept dying. Almost everything about this phone is great. Love how it actually 'speaks' to tell you who is calling. Most of the instructions are pretty specific. The only thing I would change is the ring tone. There are approximately 7 tones to choose from but none of them actually sound like a phone to me. Love that I can use this on speaker (doing dishes or dusting while chatting). Price was prefect, great size, and no problem with reception. I set a different tone for the handset in my bedroom. So easy to read!

This is my second purchase of this phone. My first purchase was over five years ago, and I had to order another one. I dropped it too many times, and two of the phones lost the speaker capability. So, this time, I decided to get the warranty. The phone is easy to use, and it serves its purpose.

Useful device that rell you who calls you, block phone calls from scams. Worth the money.

I replaced a very old Panasonic phone with four hand sets. The old one was not holding the change in daylight savings time. I was on a business call. We heard another business talking on our line. That’s when I decided it was no longer safe to use this phone. I would suggest to update your phones to be on the safe side.The new phone is similar to my old one. Buttons are just in different places. Set up is similar. Voices of callers sound like themselves. Not tinny.

We used a similar Panasonic phone set for more than 10 years, and the phones were easy to use, uncomplicated and worked well. However, it was time to replace them. We purchased this phone set expecting the same good quality and ease of use like the earlier purchase. The new phones came with an instruction book that when opened made us laugh. Talk about a mountain of new features. We were overwhelmed and confused often. We didn't realize the complexity of today's communication environment. To use each feature one must enter a code for it to work. We like the Block Call feature, but we really don't expect to need or want the majority of the other features. We found that each phone in the new set has a problem with the speaker volume. When you answer a call the speaker's voice is barely audible even with the volume set to maximum. When we receive a call now we always have to use the speaker phone setting to hear the person. Even then, we experience some audio distortion that makes it difficult to clearly hear the speaker. The keys are large and light in the dark which is most helpful. If a lot of features are important to you, and your hearing is really good then this is the phone for you.

My land line phones have seen better days and needed to have better set. This set is great. Delivered timely. Easy to set up, good sound.

Works great right from the beginning. Suggestion is using rechargeable batteries. Has really cut down on spam calls.
