This phone system is excellent!I am very pleased with it -The clarity of the communications is way better than the 2 previous phones I had -The 2 phones makes things easier.The functions on the phone are a lot like a cell phone - making things go smoother and quicker.The screen is easy to read and navigate.

These phones are easy to use and easy to read the phone numbers of callings.I can also record a message concerning calls so it is easy for them to leave me a message

This is my second time buying this phone, first time was about 5 years ago. The base unit no longer charged the phones and one of the handsets would no longer ring. So decided to go with same phone which would give me a spare phone and a second charging unit (and the one phone that doesn't ring but will work other wise).Connected up the new phone and the old ones wouldn't connect... some how I thought it would be automatic with it suppose to handle up to 6 phones but no.Alright, so have to go into the phone's menu. In the bottom right of the display where it says "menu" there is a little button, press that and will be in menu, use the big round button and press down until reach "initial setup", select that with that small button. Now using the gig button again scroll down to "registration", select that. Now press the locator button on the base unit for at least 5 seconds. It will beep or something or maybe nothing, didn't seem consistent. Turn hand set off (hang up) and back on, check for a dial tone and if there is it worked. If not try again. I think it's a matter of timing between selecting "register" and pressing the locate button on the base station.It's a relatively cheap phone price wise but it's functionable. I really don't use any of the features like call block, speed dial or voice mail or such. I have an internet phone line and all of those features are handled that way. The caller ID function works and I do use the speaker phone function to increase the volume of the phone otherwise I think it's not usually loud enough, I just hold it a little further away from my ear and if I need to do something using both hands I can set it down on the table and still hear it and be heard.All in all figure on needing to replace parts of it in 5 years or so. My base unit stopped charging a couple of months ago but the handset charging unit still work, just needed to keep swapping out phones on the charger. One of the phones stop ringing a few weeks ago was a bigger problem, if I had the phone that does ring on the handset charger in the bedroom then couldn't hear it ring. If I did hear the good phone ring and had the non ringer near me I could answer the call with it. Oh well, now I have 3 good phones and can stop using that non ringing phone.Nice thing is the phones do use two standard AAA NiMH Batteries, one of the phones batteries stopped holding a charge and I bought a few of those through Amazon and replaced the old Panasonic batteries. I prefer that over stuff with built in lithium batteries. I have NiMH Batteries that are over 10 years old I still use, just use a slow charger and the batteries last longer. A fast charger can cut battery life by 50%.
