Ideal Home Phone System

I bought a Panasonic DECT 6 phone to replace an outdated Panasonic system. The new system worked flawlessly for a month after receipt. I like the one button caller blocking button. Voice reception is clear and perfect, and no one we spoke to about the system reported problems with our voice quality. The system works great with our VOIP landline and connection to our two cellular lines. Caller ID and SMS Sender Identification are clear and instant. Advanced phone system with 5 handsets, 3000…

Pros
  • Talker ID
Cons
  • Almost everything

A good phone - battery life can be a factor

These are great phones, like most Panasonics, but I'm very disappointed with the standby time, which is around 48 hours for the two standard AAA batteries used in the device. Panasonic block battery models last much longer on standby as I have had many Panasonic models. (I've always upgraded because I wanted more features, like speaking caller ID, as phones themselves rarely fail, other than batteries needing to be replaced about every 3 years.) So if standby time is a concern, this is it Model

Pros
  • Sync up to 2 mobile phones with Bluetooth
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Blocks Annoying Calls: Landline

We specially bought them for auto call blocking which is great for blocking robot calls; The money was worth it for this feature alone, although our old Panasonic cell phones still worked perfectly.

There's also a lock button on the keyboard, which is handy for blocking other annoying calls. Although this…

Pros
  • Low Battery Warning
Cons
  • Long Delivery Time

With Opportunity Comes Complexity

The KX-TG985SK (released 2019) is the successor to the KX-TFG675 (suffix s or b for color) (released 2014) in Panasonic's flagship HD Audio range for private household applications. - Link2Cell - Bluetooth series. Nowhere in Panasonic's literature do you find "KX-TG985 is the successor of KX-TGF675", perhaps because the latter are in abundance in warehouses. The first (2019 edition) uses a different handset (KX-TGFA71 vs. KX-TGFA61 (2014 edition). I have both (in different houses) and the only…

Pros
  • Talker ID
Cons
  • Big and Chunky
