Panasonic KX-TGA600B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Handset (Black)

This is only the third cordless phone I have ever owned. All three have been Panasonics, with the first one being bought 16 years ago. The first one died after a bad fall, and the second was retired to purchase this current phone system (multiple handsets), that is being used on a Vonage phone system (love it). These new phones have Voice Enhancer (VE), which really makes a difference by canceling out background noise. I also like the antenna-less design. It has a large phone directory that works similar to cell phone directories. It also has a built in speaker phone in the handset that makes retrieving voice mail very simple as you don't have to put the phone up to your ear to hear the next prompt. All-in-all a great phone.

We were in the market for new cordless phones to replace our old 900 Mhz phones. After reading many reviews for different phone sets on [...] we decided to go with the Panasonic KX-TG6022B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Phone with 2 Handsets and added the Panasonic KX-TGA600B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Handset. We use Vonage, so we didn't need an answering machine and wanted a phone compatible with VoIP. We are very pleased with the clarity of our calls with no interference from outside sources such as our microwave oven or ballasts on fluorescent lights. We can walk freely around the house without signal loss. I have taken the phone with me to the mail box, which is a good 150 to 200 feet from the base in the back of our house and was able to draw dialtone. The only feature I wish Panasonic had included on these phones was a backlit key pad. But I understand that could reduce battery life to some degree.

I'm very satisfied with this phone. I purchased it as an extension for my current setup. The speakerphone is crisp and clear. I can hear the other person clearly, and they can hear me without the hollow background that often accompanies speakerphone use. I find the distinctive ring feature and the voice announcement of the caller are useful for identifying callers without having to run to the phone. I'm glad I purchased it, and would recommend it to others.
