My current Panasonic cordless system is Bluetooth-compatible and lets me answer calls to my cellphone. Can this system do that?

The TGP500 uses DECT and operates at 1.8 GHz. DECT is the industry standard for wireless telephony. The voice quality is excellent and the range is up to 50m. It can also handle multiple handsets simultaneously with conferencing and call forwarding between them. Bluetooth is a peer to peer communication protocol and was mainly designed for short range low data type communications to replace wired connections to peripheral devices.

No. This feature is not supported by this phone. Also: please note that this is a SIP phone and will not connect to standard home phone service.

It can be use to answer calls and make calls if pair to a Bluetooth capable phone.

I use an android phone and needed to go into my security options and UNcheck the 'allow bluetooth bypass'open. I would assume Iphones have something similar. I am able to answer and dial out using the cordless phones after changing this setting. They do also provide a help phone # in the box if you have problems with your specific phone set up.

The Panasonic Phone is for my "land line" I use thru a cable provider. I am able to use the Bluetooth feature to use my cell phone via the Panasonic - basically it allows a cell phone thru Bluetooth to connect to the landline phone.

I do not know if this system will record messages from a cell phone. Although I do have the cell phone connected via Bluetooth to this system, my cell phone has its own message answering system. In addition, the cell phone saves text messages, so I have not attempted to bypass the cell phone system. Sorry I do not have an affirmative answer to your question. The ability to answer the cell phone call using the landline phone(s) and maintain a full charge on my cell phone using the phone system connection is for me reason enough to recommend this system.

The jack is 3.5mm while I think cordless phones support on 2.5mm.You will need a convertor 3.5mm to 2.5mm to use with Panasonic cordless.

Yes the phones I have work well as independent speaker phones. When this system works, it's great, but Panasonic has issues. Their customer service is non existent. I have a problem with a charger base that didn't work and repeated efforts to sort it out with them have gone no where in a hurry. It will be a long time before I buy anything from them again.dg

The previous answer is correct. This is not a sophisticated phone system. It's just a quality cordless phone with a "slave phone". You can hook up an answering machine as you would a conventional phone.

The answering machine function is with your phone, not the OBI. You need to have a phone service with the OBI, and whoever your provider is can also offer an answering function, but you can elect to just have your panasonic phone system be your answering function

I use it with an Android and a BlackBerry at the same time and yes it is able to be used hands free... but not all functions. After it is all set up you can answer incoming calls by saying Answer or Decline. If you want to make a call you need to tap the main button once and then it goes into Voice Mode... all you need to say is a simple command and it goes to work for you... very cool system!

I have a Phonak phone, which is fine, but, I can here my cell phone better(than the Phonak) using the Compilot. I have no experience with Blue Tooth cordless phones.

Betty, My understanding is the Bluetooth pairing is designed to work on a cell phone with Bluetooth capability NOT a cordless hand set of a standard plug in the wall wired telephone. If this is the problem it is because the cell is normally powered up so when you either want to call or receive a call the link between the ComPilot and cell phone in live albeit in standby mode where the wireless handset is not powered up until it is turned on by a 3rd party or you "pushing a button" . You would think it would work, I understand your frustration, but I would call the help number for Panasonic and get to the bottom of your issue. Hope this is of some help.

nope you just Bluetooth your cell phone to it and you can use the handsets to make calls and answer calls.

I don't think so. I recently upgraded to a Panasonic system, and there seemed to be no compatibility.Incidentally, so far, I'm far more pleased with the Panasonic system. Over two years, the ATT had several problems which I could not resolve. Plus, the Panasonic is blue-tooth compatible, and messages can be picked up (and deleted) from any hand-set, not just the base.

The base does allow a speakerphone call while the handset is charging. However, there is no headset mic that I can locate on either the handsets or the speakerphone/recorder main set. By the way, I am quite pleased with the complete unit. I have five (5) handsets in locations throughout the house and an additional handset with the main speakerphone/recorder. I also have my cell phone hooked to the main unit and receive calls coming from my cell using my handsets. I previously had a Panasonic unit with 5 handsets. The Panasonic set did have several handset problems which required replacing the handsets. Additionally this AT & T set is much clearer and has a much longer range. I can use the handset anyplace in my yard or neighbors yard. I could not do that with the Panasonic system.
