Panasonic Dect 6.0 Black Cordless Phone with Answering Machine and ChoiceMail (KX-TG7432B)

I recently ordered this phone, my husband and I think it is fantastic! It has lots of options but the one we most appreciate is the call block feature. It has helped to make our lives a little more hassle free with no telemarketers calling! We also appreciate the larger number display, and the all around ease of navigating the different programs. We are delighted.....excellent quality and excellent price, what more could one ask for?

Also love that it uses regular rechargeable AAA batteries so you don't have to find a specialty battery to replace them once they start to go downhill - just buy some new rechargeables at the grocery store.
