Panasonic KX-TG4024N DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with Answering System, Champagne Gold, 4 Handsets

The phones work great. They exhibit excellent battery life and are clear in sound quality. I really love the different ring tones they have. I really like the intercom function from one station to another. Now my wife doesn't need to yell at me from upstairs - she can use the intercom function on the handset.

My only complaint with these phones is the paint they use below some of the buttons. After 2-3 weeks of usage, the paint has completely worn off. The actual buttons stay great, it's only the paint that has disappeared. This is the only phone I have had this happen with. So, as long as you remember the functions of the buttons, and don't need the painted labels, you will be fine.

Amazon offered to sell this phone with an optional headset so I assumed it had a headset jack -- the specifications don't say one way or another. However, after receiving the phone I found that in fact it doesn't support have a headset jack, but after researching on Panasonic website I found that the next model up, i.e. KX-TG4032 for a whopping $1 more does have headset jack + a couple other handy features. For the extra $1 I'd suggest the KX-TG4032

I bought this to replace an old 5.8 system with poor range.

Initial impressions:

Pros: Good price, clear sound.

Cons: No speed dial, no button to dial phone service voicemail number, screen is small, only way to tell you have a phone service voicemail is a small line on the screen. The latter means you cannot tell from across the room if you have a voicemail from your phone service-you have to pick up the phone and look at it.

Came back as I've discovered more. It is definitely going back.

The voice mail indicator does not come on until after you hit the talk button. Also, the missed call indicator goes out as soon as you put the phone back in the charger. These must be defects.

Other things I do not like: there is no way I've found to change the volume on the ringer on the base station. Also, changing volume on each handset requires a laborious trip through the menu system.
