Panasonic KX TGA659T Extra Handset, Metallic Black

 (10 customer reviews)

We had a Panasonic phone for 12 years but it was showing its age. Based on reviews we ordered a Vtech. This was a mistake because it had random volume problems. We returned the Vtech and ordered this Panasonic which has been great so far. Our friends say they can actually have a decent conversation with us now. We have a large home so we were disappointed that it could not be expanded to 8 handsets.

Purchased 2 of these sets, one with 3 handsets and one with 4 handsets. My sister and I are both over 60 years old and the large display, ergonomic handling, sound clarity, and easy to follow display instructions are great! Initially became confused with registering the handsets ( the base and initial handset are registered at start-up). You need to place additional handsets on the base in order to register.

Plan on using the phone systems for a long time! Makes phone discussions alot easier!

I bought this for my 90 yo father who is very hard of hearing. He had another Panasonic phone set and liked it, except that it was hard to read and he had to turn the speakerphone on and hold it close to hear it. Now, he can hear who's calling (announce function) and it's loud enough to hear across the room on speakerphone. The range is great; he went from 3 base sets to 1 base set and 5 handsets to cover his 4,000 sq. ft. home.
