Is it buzzing in the phone itself? Mine never did that. My only problem is not being able to receive picture msgs. It won't ever download.

I don't recall it happening to me, but keep i4 volume on medium and control higher volume with phone. ..I usually turn volume down on the phone before disconnecting or powering off!

Funny you mention it. I've read a few people stating so, not many though. I think people are more worried about hearing others, not others hearing them. However, this is the key feature I'm looking for. I'm trying to replace my Panasonic KX-TG2730, which my Dad can't hear me on at all. I thought he was going deaf, until a house guest called me at work from my phone and I realized it's been my phone the whole time. I have numerous other people asking me to speak up too. I would like this phone, it's got excellent reviews, but I'm going to do a little more research first.

No issues with the headset at all. This is my second phone like this. First one I spilled Coke on! This one I do have a problem with it ringing extremely loudly, extremely softly and not ringing at all - and never touching the volume controls. Went thru all their troubleshooting with no success. Have you tried a different headset? Good luck!

I can't figure out how to turn off the ringer...and it is loud. But maybe there is a way. However, if set, it will tell you who is calling...outloud...in a computerized voice. I haven't figured that out either. So...even if you can shut those things off I don't really recommend it. The cordless phone piece sits in a light-weight non-stable, plastic stand. Easy to knock over...very annoying. If you have already purchased, turning the ringer off is in the fine print...I'm sure!

Okay, I have a question is the ringer very loud and also is the voice volume loud because I am getting this phone for my father that has to have hearing aids and even with them has a little hard time hearing still.. I need a phone for him because of health reasons. this sounds like a great phone. but still wondering about the volumes of the ringer and also the voice volume when you are talking.. thanks

There is a menu option called Call Sharing. Turn it off to keep other phones from hearing/joining in. It comes turned ON, so if you want all your calls to be private, turn it OFF.

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have had this problem. Whenever I get it, I just ask the sender to shorten the message. It isn't often a problem though. I have had two of these phones. The only problem I've had was only with the SECOND phone. The keys made an annoying clicking sound, making a discreet text impossible. I didn't have this problem with the first phone though, which I found odd. Both phones were purchased new. I would make sure the keys are guaranteed not to click before I purchased another one.

Yes, this happens to me atleast once or twice a week. I also have to press the talk button several times before the phone answers an incoming call, sometimes it hangs up on me when I do this. We are not happy at all with this phone. I have another phone hooked up next to this phone that I use sometimes even though I can't hear good with it, that's how bad it is.

It depends on the phone. Mine had such a buzz I could not use it. Waste of money!

When there is an incoming call and you answer, it will switch to the call and you can hear them but you can't speak back because it does not a speaker to accept audio. Hope that makes sense and helps!

Great! Thanks so very much! I just changed the setting to manual. Such a relief that I don't have to send my phones back!

Not the base of the phone. Press MENU up or down to RINGERS -- select RINGER VOLUME -- select RINGER OFF. You should check your "QUICK START GUIDE" for any other info.

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

Not sure. If ringing is too loud, check the right side of the phone. There are several things there that allow you to adjust several things. Hope this was helpful.

I was having that trouble as well. I was having a little trouble hearing people, and people on the other end said that they could hear their voices echoing. I did find a fix for it, however. Go under your phone's settings, go to Call Settings (it's under My Device-> Call in my phone), and turn off the Noise Reduction. That worked like a charm for me, and while my audio is still just a little gravely, it's much more clear than before, and people on the other end say it's crystal clear for them.
