I know that the mistake was my own, but I was bummed when I realized that there was no caller ID, something I particularly want and need in a business phone. I am not using it now after just a few weeks of use because of this. Anyone want a second hand, almost new phone, contact me.
This phone was purchased for home use. It arrived on time and does exactly what I wanted it to do. A very good home office phone.
I used an older "no name" mono-ear telephony headset I had lying around and it works fine. After only 90 days use, I am still on the original set of batteries. After 3 months of use, I am still very pleased with this Panasonic phone. Nearly all of the few lower rated reviews appear to be caused by either not reading the instructions fully or improper use. I also enjoy the large size of the number buttons/lettering. It is important to note that this phone uses batteries to power the speakerphone and headset volume, and not AC from a wall socket. (personally I use rechargeable batteries in all my products anyway, so this is not a concern).
Incidentally, I like knowing that my phone is not dependent on the power grid and will work even when the power goes out. The sound quality on the speaker phone and handset is good/normal, but I am also pleased with the great sound quality when using a head set (which was my primary purpose). Heavy speakerphone use would probably drain the batteries faster, but that is expected. Consequently, if you do not install the batteries, you will get poor/nil speakerphone and headset performance. I have had great performance since day one and expect my battery life to be equally good. This phone will do that, even without batteries (but not via speakerphone).The number memory function works well, with room for 24 saved numbers and the mute button and volume controls are very useful and work as designed. I have recently moved it from my desk top to a wall mount and am even more pleased with the phone (wall mount adapter is included).Overall great product that I would buy again and highly recommend to anyone - especially if they are looking for a headset phone.
It's disappointing that is no Caller ID window, a standard in even the cheapest phones. The white spot in the photo is paper.You can dial a number and make or receive a call
The ringer is loud, there is no digital display or caller i.d. but it works and that's what I needed.
