For 79 Bucks this phone is awesome.
I've seen the biggest complaints by the negative reviewers are lack of extra features. Well, considering that the phones that have those features are up to 3 times more expensive but that this phone gives you all the quality and a lot of other great features, I can live with it.
Absolutely wonderful phone
In past I have used a variety of cordless phones. But, I always had an issue with the life of the phone. None of the phones lasted me for more than 1 year and few months. Last time I bought a Panasonic phone. I'm extensively using this phone for over 3 years and no degradation in performance. No stuck keys, no faded voice and not even the weakened battery or non responsive battery contacts (which is a problem with most of the rechargable cordless phones). Best of all is the speaker phone on the handset. This made me fan of Panasonic. This is phone is still working beautifully after 3 years of extensive use.
Just confirming previous reviews
Like anybody these days, we have plowed through the gamut of corded and wireless phones. I put a little time into research before I bought this Panasonic phone and it was worth it; the unit is a winner and satisfies it just about all respects. It is easy to use and set up and has performed well. I especially like being able to set up a phone book on one handset and beam it to all the other handsets. The intercom feature also gets a lot of use since we have three floors to cover. I have also made use of the custom ringtones (and even the color of the flashing LED on the antennae) so I know when I don't want to pick up the phone (i.e. when the in-laws call). There is even a speakerphone. The handset is solid and feels good in your hand. The voice quality is good - not as good as a corded phone but much better than the other wireless phones I have tried. In addition, the 5.8 GHz frequency does not interfere with our wireless computer network.

Great phone.Great speakerphone.Talked for five hours on one handset.
I work at home, and attend lots of conference calls.I was on a conference call recently for five hours on one handset, and the battery meter only lost one bar (of three).(I used a headset the whole time, the handset was only a few inches from the base unit, and the whole thing is only two weeks old, so all of these may've contributed to the long talk time / low battery use.But regardless, that's pretty good.)
Best Cordless phone for the money!
I have had 5 other cordless phones over the years and this one is by far the best. I have not experienced any problems with interference (the range is excellent - even two floors down in the basement!), sound quality is very good, and the system is easy to use and expand (I have 4 extensions).
The best cordless phone I've ever owned ...
I normally am a "Review Lurker" - meaning I read them when I'm looking to purchase, but rarely if ever write them.So when began looking for a new cordless home phone, I started hitting the reviews.I've owned Uniden phones before, so maybe I was a little biased, but I've tried many other brands that various friends have owned and found them lacking.So, I finally settled on the Uniden TRU9485-2.Not only is this the best cordless phone I've ever owned, it's so good that I felt compelled to write a review.

Not blue but green...
In the product desciption it states that the antenna lights up in three colors: blue, amber and red, or multicolor, but in reality its not blue, but green. (Happen to love blue, so that's the reason of the review.)

Microphone stopped working after 1 year in use
Very dissappointed with this unit. We liked it features and the sound quality. However we have been using it for just over the year and the microphone just stopped working. I would have expected a higher quality product from Panasonic!

seemed like a good idea
I am hearing impared and us a headphone..i was having a harder and harder time hear with my old headphone so I thought I' get a new headphone AND new phone....I teste the headphone with my old panasonic Kx-tc1457band with the volume control it was plenty of volume for me to hear better....then I hooked up the kx-tg5621s with high hopes because I liked the look and feel and features, unfortunatlywith the headphone volume all the way up, the volume on the phone all the way up and with or without the voice enhancer I couldn't hear very well...it's very clear but not enough volume....for those who arent impaired, you can imagine how deaf I am...any way I tested it for a couple of days thinking I need to get used to the noise canceling, etc.....but problem is if the voice on the other end isn't loud enough...I'm out of options.....I went back to the old 900 mhz with three volume settings on the phone and volume control on the headset..and can hear now with volume to spare...

A Great Cordless Phone System
This is the best phone I have ever had!The best part of this 5.4 GHz phone, other than the quality of voice without interruption through 2.4 GHz LAN network or microwave, is that it can mute ringer sound but you know you are recieving call by flushing light from the antenna.This is great if you have babies(no more awake by annoying ringer sound while they are taking a nap).All the necessary functions are included (answering machine, caller ID, storing telephone numbers, and etc.I highly recommend this phone.

Review of Cordless Phones with Answering Systems
I have been very happy with this phone system.It is so much better than what I had and it actually keeps a charge for a while.I only wish the answering machine would beep when you had a message because that is what I was used to before.Overall, this has been a great system so far.

Best Phone in the group period !
Been use this phone for several months brought a used one actually, really don't know why so many people selling this phone? i don't see any weakness this phone, this phone has all feature u need for the price ranger, possible best looking in the group.Small size like this is good u dont wanna be too small like cellphone lol.great speaker qualitty, answer machinese, good ring tone.U won't regret getting this, battery life is also great ! ...

Este telefono vino a completar el kit completo para el cual esta diseñado este aparato. Hay habitaciones de mi casa que no cuentan con punto telefonico y con este auxiliar funciona de maravilla. Estoy muy contento con el mismo.

Best GHz Experience
I went through many GHz phones- all sounded like cans.My neighbor bought this phone & I loved it.I have encountered no sound issues (those who do may have other interference such as microwaves, wireless networks, etc.)As with my neighbor- I am happy to have bought this phone.

Panasonic Expandable Cordless Phone
Original purchase of base w/handset + charger w/handset, the system was working well and wanted to expand before this model phone was outdated. Research results showed, with incentives, that Amazon was the most competitive. After placing the order, no expedited shipping specified, the product arrived much sooner that the original estimate.

Whatever Happened to AT&T Quality?
After two days the color display failed.The display looked like an old film with vertical lines and no color.
Works great
Good construction, right size (buttons are big enough to use) and sounds great.Replaced a high-end office-type cordless and this phone is better than the last set (Siemens).
Nice sound but I don't expect longevity
Nice sound characteristics, I have 3 handsets and within the first month I had to exchange two of them.One of the number buttons stopped working on one and the other just stopped working.The batteries also last too short a time before needing charging, I may buy a stronger non AT&T battery to try to solve that problem.Though the sound quality is good, in hindsight, I wouldn't buy it again in. ...

I had higher expectations I am an industrial designer, so I look pretty closely at features and design. I bought a 5.8 GHz phone because one of the other users has a very minor hearing impairment, and I was told that a 5.8 GHz will deliver the "best sound". I wanted cordless because I didn't want to be tethered during long calls. Very Good System...minus a couple of points Had this system for a week now. Almost Everything is great. The only complaints is that I cannot get the caller ID to work on the 2nd line. Panasonic is no help...just a generic trouble shoot from them. The other item is the display of all the missed calls.

Good reception and the most-used features are intuitive and easy to use, plus the handsets have a nice heft to them -- not flimsey at all. Now if I can just get my husband to quit playing with the ringtones. VERY MISLEADING Jan 2 2006 misleading and confusing I ordered the "md7001 2 line phone" Being a novice to this I thought I was getting a cordless 2 line phone. What I actually got was a 2 line handset that requires a base unit for it to work. This info should be prominently displayed in their description. I am returning it because I feel it is a form of deception to not properly describe the item in its main heading. It says DIGITAL CORDLESS 2-LINE PHONE. It should say DIGITAL CORDLESS 2-LINE HANDSET.

To scroll down through the phone book feels like click-pause-click-pause-click-pause.... Each handset defaults to private phone book use, so to switch to the shared phone book involves a couple of button-pushes, each of which takes ages to respond. And don't try getting ahead of it: your button pushes may or may not be recognized. Needs Significant Improvement I replaced a Siemens 8825 with the Motorola 7081 and was, unfortunately, really disappointed. The 8825 while rich in function, is quite lacking in quality. So what's good about the 7081 is: Great system, with just a few issues I replaced all of the 'phones in my home with one base unit and 4 handsets. I love the fact that I can place a fully functional 'phone with access to both of my 'phone lines anywhere there's a electrical outlet. My 2nd 'phone line is wired only to my home office, so I placed the base unit there and now I can pick up the 2nd line anywhere in my home. Read more 17.

AT&T E5965C 5.8 GHZ Cordless Phone is Best on Market I've owned Uniden (great technical support), Panasonic and other brands of cordless phones. The AT&T E5965C is the BEST cordless I've owned since my old AT&T cordless from 1991. Quality, quality, quality. Absolutely no interference with my wireless network, great sound quality and volume control. Also, AT&T is the only brand I could find that has DSS technology for more security. Uniden no longer makes 5.8 GHz phones with DSS. I need the 5.8 GHZ because of my wireless network, and I want the DSS for privacy. Each handset has volume control (a necessity for us older folks), and I can retrieve messages from any handset. Also, each handset has intercom. This is a great feature if you fall down and can't get up, etc. You can page anyone in the house for help. Works great for us Interesting to read about people who have had reliability problems with this phone.We've owned it since December 2004 and have NEVER had a problem with it.The batteries have never run out
