Cordless Phone with Answering Machine, Advanced Call Block, Bilingual Caller ID and High-Contrast Display, Expandable System with 3 Handset Cordless Telephones - KX-TGD833M (Metallic Black)

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 can't for the life of me figure out why it does NOT show me the name OR number when there's a call on the second line. I hear the ding, but I can't see the name or number UNLESS it's a BUSINESS calling, and when I hit FLASH to transfer over to that call, it doesn't. So I have to hang up, go to CALLER ID and then it shows up as a missed call. All the instructions say is make sure you are signed up for caller ID with your provider which I obviously am, and I've never had this problem with any other phones I've owned for my landline. Otherwise the CALLER ID feature works perfectly when the phone is not in use and rings. The phone is very easy to use, I barely needed to look at the instructions to set up what I needed to. And I love the call blocking feature. Oh and the screen size and font is great easy to read.

My husband and I needed a new phone set to replace an aging one we had. We chose this one for its simplicity and functionality as well as its looks. The sound quality is wonderful, we can her everything clearly and the range also seems great as have had no issue using the phone quite a distance from the main unit. We did purchase an extra handset and are very happy that we did. All in all this unit deserves a 5+

I had this phone before and it lasted a long time. They work great for what I NEED. LOVE THE ABILITY TO BLOCK.

Very pleased with purchase. Easy to set up; numerous great features; and easy to use.

well i have had this phone to cell Panasonic system in use for 2 weeks now. all of the volume levels, are very lo. Speakerphone, cell call earphone volume, ringer volume, and message volume too. It does announce when a text message is received. A very quick and fast spoken voice at rather very lo volume. We just wish Panasonic, would have used a louder amp stage. Range is good, quality is good. Instructions are very complicated to use all of the features. So that's it. A complicated system, but good if your hearing is way above average. RM

Phones work great plenty of contacts, but volume is okay, but wish it would be louder.
