Panasonic KX-TGE275S 5-Cordless Handsets Link2Cell Bluetooth Corldess Phone with Answering Machine, Silver

𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐭! I did have to read the manual front to back to completely to set up the phones exactly as I wanted. It really is important to read the manual to correctly set up everything. I do have a land line so I plugged in all of the phones to charge and connected the base to the regular land line. Following the instructions, I connected it to my Samsung Galaxy Note II cell phone. Then over the next week, I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and many features of the Panasonic wireless telephone set.𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐬: The Link-to-Cell feature is fantastic! With the cell phone connected, you can place calls using either the cell or land line and designate which you prefer to use as a default. Also, you do not need a land line to use this phone set. It will connect up to two cell phones via blue tooth. The cordless handsets ring normally when a call comes in via land line or cell phone. The handsets also show caller ID and whether the call is from the land line or cell. The handsets will also announce who the call is from for voice calls and even when you receive text messages on the cell number. The calls are clean, clear and I can not tell without looking to see which line is being used. A separate ringtone can be selected for the cell line to let you know if you desire. The base is complete with a full number pad and is also a speaker phone. Setting one handset sets all of them as far as time/date/phone book, etc. I was able to download every name & number from my cell phone to the handsets in a matter of a few minutes. The cell phone also automatically reconnects when I get back home from errands without any prompting. I have not tried it yet, but a blue tooth headset can also be connected at the same time as two cell phones and the land line. I will update if I try that feature.𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞: Call blocking. This handset can block 250 different numbers. On "junk" calls, the phones "never" ring and show "Call Blocked" on all of the handsets. I receive "junk" calls all of the time for extended car warranties and so many other useless things. I block the numbers the first time and have been very pleasantly surprised how nice it is to eat dinner without having to listen to the phones ringing or answer "junk" calls!𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬: If there is a power failure, the base handset must be in the base because the base relies on the handset for backup power. One improvement I can think of would be for Panasonic to put batteries in the base also just in case of power failure. I do have the unit plugged into my computer UPS just in case of power failure so I do not have to worry about that. Lastly, it would be nice if the volume level could be increased a bit for the hard of hearing as the volume seems lower than a few other brands.𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐥: I do not believe there is a better digital cordless handset telephone on the market at this time! I highly recommend this telephone package. I will be suggesting this package to anyone wanting the best out of a phone system.

Very nice system. I bought it to replace a 10 year old AT&T system that was light years older in technology. In fact it takes quite a while to figure out all the features and how, or if, to use them there are so many. The user manual is quite thick but really worth the time to read. It is pretty easy to understand (NOT written in a foreign language and put through a translator).I had no problems syncing my iPhone 6 to the base. The instruction manual indicates you need to have your cell within 10 feet to sync. I can sync anywhere in my 2000 sq foot house and in the small yard with no problem! When I leave and come back into the house it syncs automatically with no effort on my part. I have not tried syncing a headset but I never have to worry that the iPhone is synced. Now my cell phone lives in the charging dock in my kitchen next to my car keys and I can answer it anywhere in the house I have a base unit.I was able to download my phone book from my cell to the system so I did not have to input any phone numbers manually. The phone book of the base unit and the handsets is one and the same, which is nice. I did have to go and manually delete all the fax numbers as this system does not differentiate between types of phone numbers, ie cell, home, office, or fax. If someone in your phone book has 4 numbers they all port over as 4 different phone listings with no labels to differentiate which is which. The other feature that is lacking is the ability to input new numbers to your cell and the Panasonic system at the same time. The thing I don't like about the phone book is the search feature. If you want to search for Jane Smith and she is in your phone book as Smith, Jane and you search on Jane you won't find her. You have to search on Smith. If she is in the phone book as Jane Smith and you search on Smith you won't find her, you have to search on Jane. I formatted my phone book friends to be listed first name first and businesses, doctors, etc last name first so I can search on how I think.I personally don't like the voice announcing incoming calls so I disable that feature immediately. I found it annoying. If you do a lot of texting and want to hear your texts coming in you may want to keep that feature active.I love, love, love that call blocking capability. You can block up to 250 different numbers! Take that telemarketers! Of course every time Rachel from credit card services calls from a new number I have to block the new number. I've also block all incoming calls from "private" or no number. I set it so there is no ring at all from the blocked numbers, but if you like being annoyed you can have it ring once. Blocked numbers do show up in your call log, even if they don't ring, so you can see who called. (You can see how desperate your ex is to reach you)The batteries in the handsets last a long time. Like 3 days or so off the charger, without much use. There is a small light on top of the handsets that lights up when there is an incoming call. Not sure why they have it, but I can sometimes answer before it rings, when I see the light flash. The numbers on the handset display are relatively large and easy to read, they are black on a white back lit display.On the whole, I think you will like the system.
