Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I bought this set, it replaced a clunky Motorola cordless 2.4 GHz set that too often got interference or fade out. I liked the look, feel, and sound clarity of this set.
But my wife started complaining of strange dropped calls. She would be in the middle of the call, and if she tried to put the caller on the speaker phone option, or if she got another call and wanted to "flash" the call, the phone would stop transmitting. The info-screen says "phone not registered to base." Pick up one of the extensions and there's your caller, blithely talking away--nothing has happened on their end.
I ignored her complaints--it never happened to me. Then I saw it happen to her and it started happening to me, too.
With three phones and only two of us in the house, you wouldn't think it would be hard to "register" the phones to their locations. So I did it, and took the step of putting a nail-polished 1, 2, and 3 on phones & bases.
Nice try, but no cigar. The drops still happen. And recently, talking to a friend in Chicago, the phone sounded dead on my side. I was about to hang up when my friend came back on the line. He said, "sorry, I just got these new Panasonic 6.0 phones and I keep getting a "phone not registered to base" error that acts like it drops the call.
Yeah, I know.
Oh, they have a ton of great features, especially that you can program the extensions not to ring at night, and the call clarity is excellent. But when they make the phones too much smarter than the users, they've lost me.
I'm headed to the store (or through Amazon) to pick out some new cordless phones. And no, they won't be Panasonic.
