Panasonic New DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone Handset Accessory Talking Caller ID Compatible with KX-TGM450S Series Cordless Phone Systems - KX-TGMA45S (Silver)

My husband works for the Railroad & yrs ago, he had to fix a Horn that was stuck and lost some of his hearing... other home phones just weren't loud enough, where I had to talk for him ... I bought these specifically for the BOOST feature (for extra loudness)... this works well , now he has no trouble hearing any conversation . A few other things I love about these phones... the SLOW feature, when playing back a message -when someone is saying a return phone # too fast...you can SLOW it down and catch the #, without repeating the message again & again.. I also LOVE that it holds 100 names/ numbers in it's Phone book (last phone only held 50)... that it has a WHITE backlit display uses larger lettering, very helpful to read from a distance - has blinking red lights too...also goes a very nice distance from the house ... about 400 ft away, it's still working clearly from the house... Another feature I love is : you can set the phone to SPEAK the # each time it is pressed, so you "hear" it -- I have never seen this feature before on a phone. We use MAGIC JACK with this phone.. no problems at all.. works GREAT.. There is a blocking feature , I have no used this yet... it has a number of "Groups" you can list your names/ numbers under to help find them quicker... and you can designate a different RING to each group...which is also very nice! The handset itself is heavier & larger than what I was used to, but with all these wonderful features (& more I haven't explored yet)... I was compelled to write this review ... these phones are expensive.. but they are HIGH QUALITY & can really help those who want a larger clear display and need a boost in Hearing.

My sister-in-law is hard of hearing she bought the Panasonic base with answering machine and extra hand set. It has a booster amplifier so now she has no problem hearing her calls.

Pros: Loud ringer; loud boost feature; the red parts of phone blink when there is a call or a voice mail message; setup is easy if you are technology inclined; the phone book can save many phone numbers, has speed dial, buttons are big, phone has long battery life. Cons: Speakerphone without boost is not loud like a speakerphone should be; the backlight does not shine through the dial pad adequately; the screen does not lightup, not enough speed dial numbers (only 9 phone numbers can be stored for speed dial). Summary: I bought this for my mom who is visually impaired. Her good vision comes and goes. When her vision is not so good, the dial pad backlight and screen are not bright enough for her. She loves the boost feature, caller id and loud ringer. She wishes there were more than 9 speed dial numbers.

Great job

I purchased the KX-TGF575S system but found that the handset speakerphone is not very loud and with some calls almost unusable. This handset is from the amplified phone systems. There are several handsets that have this amplified handset speaker as well as handset speakerphone. The question I had was will it register with my new system. I found the "Panasonic Telephone Handset Compatibility Cross-Reference and Owners Manual Locator" document. There are many Panasonic systems that the amplified handset will register or "work" with. Yes "work" in this case means be realistic the amplified handset isn't exactly like the handset in the other system so it will have different buttons and may not do everything. If sound is what matters and you can live with a couple things being different, than it "works". The Handset Compatibility document has foot notes about compatibility but keep what I mentioned in mind. So far everything that matters to me works. Make SURE your system allows another handset to be registered!! It depends on the base you have and how many handsets you have registered, you can always remove one if needed. The handset registered, the phone book works, the answering system works, My Bluetooth Paired Cellphone still rings and I can answer a call from it on the amplified handset!! The display is different on the amplified handset so you have to accept that part. There isn't a button for "Assist" that allows the voice assistant function and I haven't found a way to use that on this handset, but the things that do work mean more to me than that does. That may be a deal breaker for some people so understand the possible things that may not work and choose accordingly. Sound level is MUCH louder than the new systems handsets on the handset speaker and speakerphone and that's WITHOUT the boost button on. It's more like the original Panasonic phones that were so great like my old stub antenna 5.8 Panasonic handsets that were tanks and fifteen or more years later still work. I like this product and I'm picky being an engineer. No of course it's not perfect, I'm sure I could list many things that I would improve if I wanted to, but its a cordless phone.

Great additional phone set.

The phone is very old and does not match the description. The battery holds a charge for no more than 2 minutes; the

Works perfectly with my old Panasonic when one of the handsets stopped working.

So far. So good. It was easy to pair with my other Panasonic cordless phones. Makes it much easier for my hard of hearing husband to be able to use the phone and much less frustrating for those trying to talk to him on the phone.

Fast to reimburse and free shipping…..the items were perfect 👍. My fault ordered the wrong phone for me.

Although my order was not as describe as for the phone itself I am very happy even buying used. Great product

Product came from Canada. Like that it was easy to connect it to the main phone. Still working through instructions and additional features.

Telephone sans fil solide et la qualité panasonic, c est excellent comme telephonne
