My current Panasonic saves the number extensions that you have to hit in order to call many companies, making CID useless! Does this one? I often use recent (call logs) on my cell phone to easily call companies!

It does retain extension digits, but all you have to do is scroll back to the original number and then click redial. The biggest issue I have with this phone is the volume is too low and when doing conference calls, you frequently cannot get it loud enough.

That seems odd, that one handset could differentiate incoming calls as mobile or land line. The base station has a call-block feature that allows you to store up to 30 phone numbers to be blocked - which would also block those same numbers to each handset. I use this feature to filter spammers like, "Hello, this is Rachael, this your last chance to receive lower interest rates on your Credit card, etc. " and to filter political calls that relentlessly seek donations. You might go into the Call Block option and make sure phone numbers are not blocked that you did not intend to block. The feature can be accessed from any handset under Initial Settings/Call Block. If your batteries are more than a couple of years old, I'd replace them with new AAA NI-MH that can be purchased anywhere - and you will probably find batteries now have higher amp/hour capacity than your original batteries. If that does not fix the problem, you can use the new batteries in any handset that gets weak quickly during longer phone calls. Have you checked to be sure the handset is not set to "sleep" or not ring during certain hours? I use this often on the handset near my bed. Calls will come in but ring only at the base station and other handsets. It's called Silent Mode in the menu under Initial Settings. Another option would be to call Panasonic and ask if the handsets have some sort of reset procedure, but I doubt that they have a reset. Sorry I don't have any definitive answer. I have six handsets and they have been 100% reliable. However, I replaced some of the older batteries when the handset acted weird or faded during longer conversations.

Same question as Kevin. When and how do you enter your VM code to retrieve your messages using another phone? When you call your own cell phone number you can leave a message but that is the extent of it. My cell phone was on when I tried. Should it be off??

I assume all your phones have the same phone number. Yes! It will record anything on the line, even if you pick an extension phone or if your answering machine pick up the call. That's actually the way I use it, making a permanent record of my incoming calls.

My opinion is no. I haven't been looking or pricing for a while but I miss features that my panasonic had. Like being able to listen to a message while using the phone. I also had a hard time connecting a new handset to the base. It still is hit or miss with the address book and caller id. It also only holds 50 contacts not enough for me. This isn't feature rich.

Excellent question. Like you, I hope to get rid of my landline and still use the Panasonic with my cell(s). I tested it out, just to make sure it would work. I disconnected the base unit from the phone jack and was still able to make and receive calls through the bluetoothed cells. One step closer to getting rid of the landline.

Not sure on that I looked in phone manual did not see anything regarding this feature your best option would be to contact Panasonic & ask them sorry I could not be more help have good day

No, Unfortunately after three separate sessions with Verizon Tech Support 1.) They were unable to resolve the MAC ID registered to the previous owner.. 2.) As a result when I try to answer a phone call on my Samsung Galaxy S3 cell phone thru this Network Extender, or initiate a phone call, as soon as the connection is made the call is terminated within 30 seconds when my cell phone drops from 5 bars to one bar.. as soon as I hang up the phone goes back to 4 or 5 bars.. 3.) Verizon Tech Support suggested that the Used network Extender may be a Defective hardware, which may have been why the previous owner returned it? 4.) Since I did not purchase the Network Extender from Verizon, and the fact that it was purchased in Like new condition, Verizon would not exchange it for a NEW Unused model and suggested that I buy a NEW Unused product.. 5.) I have no problems with the same phone on another Samsung Network Extender in another location that I purchased New a year ago.. 6.) I guess it is too late for me to request an RMA to return this Network Extender and exchange it for a NEW Unused Network extender? Regards; George Vandervort

If you have more than one extension, try calling one of those instead of an outside number. If that works, then your config with Asterisk is good and that would indicate you have a config problem between Asterisk and your VOIP provider.Extension --> Asterisk --> VOIP providerYour extensions should only talk to Asterisk, and not directly with the VOIP provider otherwise, what's the point of using Asterisk.Best of Luck to you.

If you have the Panasonic Cell2Phone system and you are using it with a cell phone you can turn off the talking CID 2 ways. The first is access Menu (base) #*162, or (handset)#162 and follow instructions BUT this only works on incoming landline. If you have a cell phone hooked into system you MUST access Menu and #6141 (1st cell phone) #6142 (2nd cell phone). We had difficulty finding this and Panasonic was not helpful.

I would think you would have to be signed up for caller I.D. I was, so it just was a great benefit to have it voiced. I think caller I.D. Is worth the money since no one follows the "no call" ban like they should.

HI, Page 10 of the manual. Your phone service and the callers phone service must have CID caller i d activated. If the caller suppressed their CID the phone shows "p". If the number could not be id' for other technical reasons the phone shows "o" or "e" Great price sorta weird euro phone! Have a great day!

My dad couldn't keep his old number. Maybe because he was on Nextel, I am not sure. He seems to use the phone much more than his old one!

Wife does not like this system and she is big user! Answer to your ? YES! My big dislike is, if you you go to CID it becomes a task to determine what the number was that called you,like 2 more steps. Hope this helps, Dave

I haven't used the phone during an outage but an examination of the manual impllies that you get nothing but the ability to dial and receive calls....such as in old phones. It must power from the phone line. I don't know what happens to stored information. I believe the phonebook numbers will be kept but I'm not sure about messages and greeting.Thanks for the reminder of the direct access numbers. I'll have to start memorizing them.

Hi J. Clegg,That certainly wasn't true in my case. I DO have an active Landline phone and linked my iPhone to the Panasonic. The only thing I noticed is that you cannot be on a call using the the cell phone and have a handset CLOSE BY and "on" and trying to also use that handset (like a 3-way call) because you get a loud speaker "feedback" noise. The two devices just need to be apart from each other....(more than 10 feet in my experience).

Katrina, are you aware you can also order PPV through your laptop or desktop? This is what I'll do once we disconnect our land line. I've been doing that anyway because I'm usually on my laptop while watching tv :-) Good to know if we go with Ooma the caller id still works through the receivers. This is a feature my husband still wants to keep.
