Panasonic Additional Cordless Phone Handset for use with KX-TGD86x Series Cordless Phone Systems - KX-TGDA86W (White)

This phone works great in the Caribbean, Trinidad to be specific! It actually exceeds my expectations. There is an option to have it call out who is calling so it rings twice then says ‘John is calling’ (it’s an option which can be turned off and it’s only if the name is stored in the phone’s phonebook or it will simply call out the number). The numbers are large so great readability, the volume is loud enough, I also have a V-tech phone and it’s louder than that. The only improvement i’ll make to it is to have a light indicator when it is charging since there isn’t any ( the phone itself has written on it ‘charging’). It says it can also be answered by voice and can also be used as a baby monitor which I haven’t tried as yet. Looks great and easily shows how many voicemails received in the main base, also plays them easily. Good value for money. Haven’t had it long enough to speak on durability but seems well made.

I just set this up yesterday. Did not even use directions. Just unplugged my old AT&T base and plugged the phone cord right into this Panasonic, plugged it in and was good to go. Plan on charging it up before unhooking your old phone if you need it. It needed to be charged before using, which is normal. Because the menu button was very similar to my previous phone, I didn't have to look at the directions to use that either. I also like that it has a smaller base station, as I have a small area on which I set it. It seems to work good, but I have not talked on it much since yesterday. So far, so good. I will revisit this review if anything changes as time goes on, when I have used it more. Good price for 3 cordless phones.

I was skeptical at first, but then read the reviews and the description and felt like it would be a good purchase; and it was. The reason I’m giving this product four stars, is for the instructional use. An instruction booklet comes with the phone, but it’s very difficult to understand and figure out and I feel I’m a pretty adequate person to do those things, but the phone is more complicated than it looks. The booklet is very helpful but some things just don’t click with trying to set up different things on the phone. If you want simple, it is not simple to understand, but you can make it simple just by not following all the directions and not setting up certain things and just using it to answer. The Call blocking feature is nice and that I was able to figure out.

This phone can do anything. I love being able to block a spam call by just pushing a button, and turning off the ringer is nice too. I did need to set it up with the instruction book in hand, but it is well written, so with a little work, you can add the programs you want without much trouble. It will run on the battery for days without needing to be placed back in the charger.

I read many of the 5 star reviews and wondered if this phone could be this good: Amazon Choice with over 7,000 reviews averaging 4.5 stars. After receiving this product I now know why this phone system is so popular: it does everything it is suppose to do with ease, and a very intuitive menu, and excellent documentation. This product is simply the best home phone system you can buy. Also I find that the phone when paired with Brightspeed home phone service can detect a message left on the Brightspeed account and display an alert on the phone's display. I know you will love this product as much as I do. Seldom is a company able to design a product at an excellent price which works effortlessly out of the box. Thank you Panasonic - you deserve all these 5 star reviews.

Bought these to replace our old Panasonic phones. Easy to use and setup. Good quality, also. But the very best option is the Scam Blocker. Once you turn it on, no more robo calls!! This option alone is worth paying more for. I can't say how highly I recommend this phone!!

I had a previous Panasonic cordless phone that wasn't working so I ordered this. It was easy to set up (similar to old one). I don't like the way you have to pick up messages but I guess I will get used to it. I couldn't hear on it...I could hear fine on my old one and in fact had to turn the volume down. So I thought I would return it because the sound was turned up to the highest volume. Then I read about speakerphone and I started using this and I can hear fine. Otherwise it seemed to be working well. I decided though after a few days, the sound was not acceptable to me so I ended up returning. it. I need to find one that I can hear will with. (I don't wear hearing aids and I can hear most things just fine.

Bought this as a gift and sent it to Mexico to my in laws! It works great! Sound quality is good, was easy to operate even for people not tech savvy. Display is big and bright enough to see clearly.
