Review on 📞 Panasonic Cordless Phone Handset Accessory for KX-TGD21XN/ KX-TGC21XS/ KX-TGE27XS Series Cordless Phone Systems – KX-TGEA20S (Silver) by Erica Pratt

So I bought this whole system with the expander and extra phones off Amazon over a year ago. I wanted something that looked like a regular phone for my parents but was cheaper and used a cellular plan. The phone recognizes and connects fine, but some phones like older models do not connect automatically, you have to give it permissions EVERY time, which is not a Panasonic issue. Panasonic's problem lies in the call quality. So they call, you pick up like a normal call and all you hear is static or the other end says they have a bad connection. This will ALWAYS be the case no matter where you place your phone, so don't fall for the fact that it has to be next to a Panasonic base phone! This is very bad bluetooth and certainly not up to scratch. Even if you use the handset from the base it's bad. I don't recommend spending money on a cellular feature to talk to a regular phone! However, the nice thing is that all the phones ring, so you can hear your cell phone ringing anywhere in the house. That's convenient; no more missed calls. The problem is bluetooth, even if you plug in a bluetooth headset the sound quality is extremely poor. You can take a ground call through the headset to keep your hands free, but you'll find yourself yelling so the other party can hear you and asking "can you repeat that" more than actually speaking. Range extenders really work! I have several acres of land and I can use the phone all over my territory! Just unbelievable. The quality of the phone is exceptional and the sound, except for anything Bluetooth related, is excellent and clear. It's easy to block numbers, but when they call back, it still rings again before actually blocking. Speed dial doesn't really work. You have to press almost as many keys as dialing a number, to start you have to remember which number corresponds to which number. You used to have the option to write them straight to the phone, but not anymore! Speakers, handsets, phone transfer, intercom and address download to phone are great features that work as expected with no errors. The battery is very, very good, it can go a week without a charger and still be fine! I've had it for over a year now and it's still just as good! Overall it's good as a standard cordless phone and the battery life is exceptional. The range extender is also great! But most of the other features, notably Bluetooth and call barring, aren't worth the time and effort.
