This is one excellent phone system. I was doubtful at first because they are so light and chintz feeling, but they work excellent. They even have a speakerphone on the phone themselves. Great if you don't want to put more phone jacks or don't know how (like me) throughout your home. The extensions only require an electrical outlet but no phone jack.

Just purchased this 5 handset system (at Office Depot for $79.95.  Had a Uniden 3 handset system prior.
This system is extremely easy to set up and calls are very clear.
Added 16 numbers into memory in about 20 minutes which automatically are updated to all 5 handsets.
Has voice announcement of incoming calls with separately programmable ring tones.
Menus are very intuitive.
Very seldom that I find products that exceed my expectations at the start but this is one!

This part of the system works great and was easy to install.  It has all the features you'd ever want in a phone system.  The actual remote phone that I use with it doesn't have such great audio.

I love, love this phone system - not only the ease of using regular wall outlets for the extra units- but the call blocker feature for listed, unlisted and private numbers is exactly why we got this set.  It is so cool to be able to weed out the bothersome calls.  After they are blocked on the phone- you will get a short/half ring when they try again with the blocked number showing up and the caller will get a busy signal- cool!  These phones have super great clarity with a broad range---batteries do not discharge quickly as that was a problem with other previous, older units.  You will love these phone- great price too!

This is a dynamite phone system. I like the settings and the various ringtones, the 2 line capability allows me to use my cell phone in any room as well as the home phone.
For sure a 5 star.

Excellent phone for the price.  Everything is here:  bluetooth for cell phones, speakerphone loud and clear on base (home button), answering machine, large readable display on base, excellent range, easy to play-back messages, and even a voice speaks to indicate the number being called.  Looked at comparable phone systems for over $100 and this one beats them all.  Lastly, A+++ on the manual, the instructions are clear and the index pretty good.

I like to wait a couple months before reviewing something, so now that I've had this for 4 months, here are a few thoughts.

I think this is a terrific phone system.  I bought the 3 handset system and since it's expandable, I ended up purchasing 3 additional handsets to cover all floors of my house with a single system.  The display is excellent, although some of the buttons are small.

I really like the answering machine functionality, including a switchable alert tone for messages.  The tone is enough to get your attention, but not annoyingly loud that you have to retrieve your messages to shut it up.  Each handset has an alert light if you have messages, and you can retrieve them from any handset.

There are enough ringtones to satisfy anyone's tastes.  I've used the handsfree adapter on a 90 minute conference call while sitting outside on the deck and there was no dropoff of reception.

Sound quality and battery life are both excellent.

This is a 2 thumbs up purchase.

Upon purchasing the Magicjack internet based phone system we discovered we couldn't use it as a traditional landline.  So we purchased the Panasonic base phone and 2 extra handsets.  We are very pleased with the phones.  We are able to place them where we want to not were there is a phone jack available. We are happy with the Panasonic phones for many reasons especially the ease at which you can use it and the volume is fantastic.

Fantastic phone system, sound quality is great, check your messages from any phone, you only have to program the phone numbers into one phone, especially like the call block feature.

The ATT phone and answering machine are great. It is easy to install and use. The phones are light and easy to use also. I would recommend this highly. It is the best one we have owned.

This is a very nice cordless phone system from Vtech.  I got this model to replace a model with which I had become very frustrated.  However, I am happy to report that this system has met my expectations which are:

* DECT 6.0 - to avoid interference with wireless internet
* Handset usability
* Easy to use answering machine
* Able to use both handsets on the same call

The call quality from this system is great.  My previous system was on the 2.4 GHz frequency, and was always fuzzy.  However that's not the case with this Vtech model.  The caller on the other end is comes through crisply with ample volume.

On my old system, the "Talk" button was raised such that if you tried to hold the phone with your shoulder, you would almost always hang up on the call.  I found this very aggravating, but the Vtech handsets pose no issues here.  I find the controls fairly intuitive too.  I have not had to consult the detailed user manual in order to do what I want and need to do.

I may be a bit behind the times on this, but this is the first phone system I've had where all setup is done from the handset.  Have you ever been frustrated with the buttons on answering machine bases that do different things based on how long you hold them down?  This is gone in this system.  The handset has an easy to navigate menu system that mimics what I remember from my older Nokia cellphones.  Playback can be controlled from the base station, but that is the only thing it does.  You can also playback messages from the handset.

The final thing I was looking for might seem a little odd, but you won't notice it until you need it.  On my old system, only one handset could be active on a call at any time.  That is not the case with this Vtech system.

I don't ask my phone system to do a whole lot, but I do want it to do these things very well.  I'm very pleased with this system from Vtech.  If your needs are similar to mine, I think you will be too.  Please feel free to ask questions in the comments section below.

I am very pleased with the phones features. The range is great and the keys are well laid out. Wish it had a programmable ring that could be downloaded. I just needed a system that could work with an existing answering machine and this does.

This phone has been excellent for our family.  We bought an additional phone and base to add up to four handsets.  The machine does blink when you have a message.  It has three mailboxes so you could even set it up to leave individual messages for teenagers, etc.  You can page individual phones if you cannot find one.  For example, I page phone #3 if I cannot find it.  With three (or more) handsets, there is never a problem of not finding the phone.  There is a speaker on each handset if you want to put down the phone and continue talking.  It works great.  I have done it many times and the person on the other end has never noticed they were on speaker.  The phonebook is easy to access by scrolling from the top or bottom of the A-Z list.  There are also ten different rings to choose from on each phone.  This phone has worked great for my family for a year and a half.  I read some negative reviews that seem they may have been written for a different phone because the hands free works great and the handset is not too small.

In June of 2008 I installed the Panasonic TA-824 PBX telephone system in my home. The system includes 7 KX-T7731 phones along with seven other phones of various brands.
 The  system has performed quite well in the three plus years since it was placed in to service. Sound quality is excellent, and the speaker phone functions better than others that I have previously used. The system also has a selective call intercom, which can be configured to be hands free on the called extension end. My only complaint in regard to the actual Panasonic telephones relates to the fact that the LCD screen illumination cannot be turned off. The green glow of the screen was a problem in our bedrooms. I solved the problem by placing black tape over the screen.
As an aside, the KX-T7720 and the 7750 are system compatible phones without LCD screens.
 I have added the optional expansion cards in order to have up to 24 extensions and 6 incoming (CO lines). Additionally, I have added the four location door box intercoms.
Currently, I have two incoming phone lines, one wired (POTS) landline and one cellular linked.
Panisonic tech support makes it almost impossible to contact them, for that reason alone, I give the otherwise outstanding phone system a rating of 3.
If you are a tech savvy individual, the 824 is very easy to install, configure, and expand, just don't expect any help  from Panasonic, unless you are a dealer. That being said, I would advise you to avoid Panasonic when considering the purchase of a PBX system for your home or business.

Panasonic has always made some of the best and most reliable telephones.  I have been using Panasonic phones for 24 years and have never been disappointed with their product.  This phone system is excellent because it functions extremely well, is easy to use, easy to setup and has many nice features.  I am pleased Panasonic has included backlit keypads once again.  It is especially convenient if you need to make a call during the night because there is no need to turn on a light.  Highly recommended.
