2-LINE CONVERGE/2 HNDSETS

Actually just retired ours, owing only to changes in our local carrier/cost and not to any dissatisfaction with this wonderful little phone system. And, out of respect to this product, and a little bit of sadness, I want to say that in the last decade or whatnot that it's served our family, it never let us down once. We bought the same system for my folks, and they're still using theirs. The sound quality is superior to cell phones, the setup was plug-and-play, the programmable numbers and other features were user friendly, and the design was just right for my home office but also for the many professional (dentist, mechanic) offices I've happily recognized, "hey, you have the same phone system as my family!" Get this if you want a basic, workhorse system. The only "complaint," and it's minor, is that it only comes in a two-line version. Meaning that if your house only has one line, it will politely inform you through an inobtrusive little light on the side of the main console that you should "check line 2." This doesn't impact function in any way, but does sometimes confuse my elderly dad with memory problems, who will periodically come to me or my mom with a look of concern, "I think the phone is notifying us of a problem." It would be nice if they'd offered a single-line option, but not a big deal. Just plug in one line, and ignore the inobtrusive little "check line 2 message." Other than that, I'd still be using this gem of a phone system if my particular phone carrier choices hadn't forced my hand into going cell only. I already miss this phone. If you can keep your land line, do, and get one of these!

performance is good, but sound quality is not clear when pick call is of mobile

El precio es un poco elevado, y fue opción porque necesitaba reemplazar todas mis unidades (contábamos con cuatro para cada línea) y para que tuviera funciones de identificador de llamadas tenia que adquirir teléfonos con baterías. Lo utilizo en un negocio con mostrador y se puede enlazar vía bluetooth a cuatro celulares y todo se controla con un teléfono o con la base. Bloqueo de llamadas por horario, bloqueo de llamas en general, mensaje de recepción en las llamadas, son de las cosas que más me aprecio de este paquete. Pero lo que más me ayuda es a darle una buena atención a cliente y evitar abandonar el mostrador para pasar una llamada. Se puede administrar decentemente a varias unidades inalámbricas como si fueran extensiones son necesidad de comprar un conmutador.Pros: con esta configuración puede trabajar como lineas tipo conmutador (transferir llamadas); bloqueo de llamadas por horario; reductor de ruido; enlace de celulares (contestar con equipo o base).Contras: el costo de un teléfono inalámbrico adicional; hay que memorizar el proceso de transferir llamadas, es un poco latoso en el inalámbrico; cuando se va la luz se muere la base (se pueden sustituir las pilas de los teléfonos a la base, pero no si te encuentras lejos de ella)Yo lo tengo al full y con un repetidor cubre toda mi casa en dos niveles.

It's nice and loud and has some cool features. Great for a small business.However, you do need an American to Aussie adapter for the phone.Thanks though!

I used to have another set of Panasonic cordless 2-line phone, but after 5 years of continual use the "talk" button got so worn off that did not work anymore. I then got another set made by Vtech which had plastic buttons instead of silicon/rubber hoping it will last longer. However, it did not last more than 3 months. The Vtech was so cheap in terms of quality. The plastic case as slim and could break if you drop it. But the worse part was the connector at the bottom of the phone set connecting to the charging station did not last. It was very flimsy and bent all the time. And after a while it broke off.So I found this panasonic cordless 2 - line set. It is actually better and cheaper than the first one I had. The connectors are solid thick metal (not like the aluminum/tin fromVtech). The plastic case is thicker and durable. Even the sound quality and communication is way better than Vtech. I definitely recommend Panasonic phones. I just hope the rubber/silicon button will last long this time. Otherwise a great product at an excellent price.
