Panasonic KX-TG6541B DECT 6.0 PLUS Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System

I had an older version of this phone and the buttons were getting hard to push, so I upgraded. This phone is great, wish it had more ring tone options though. It shows you clearly when you have a voice mail and the menu is pretty intuitive. I would recommend this phone, love the Talking Caller ID, can't live without it now that I have had it!

After reading the reviews and buying this phone, it's a disappointment. The wall-mountable unit sticks out farther than all its predecessors and doesn't align with the brackets all the others (Panasonic, Uniden, AT&T) did, so the top of the "wall mount" hangs loose and is wobbly. We'll need to be careful hanging up the handset.

Orientation of the base unit is high. My wall plate is eye level but since the base hangs almost horizontally - why market this as a wall unit? - unless you're tall, get a step stool to see what's going on up there.

Programming the handset isn't intuitive. All previous phones I had, you figure your way through the handset and make your settings. With this one, you need the manual to type in specific codes to set time/date, specify answering machine settings, etc. Make sure to keep the instruction book nearby.

After searching for a replacement to a much older panasonic phone I found this one online for a reasonable price. The quality and options on this phone are much greater and the instructions are understandable. Thus far I am quite satisfied with this phone!
