   These Panasonic phones are overrated. In light of all the accolades, I bought the phones. The sound was fine. But the interface was not at all intuitive, required too many clicks to get around to, e.g., check messages. One feature of these phones (and, apparently, many DECT phones) is that if I listen to a message that is for my wife, there is no way to “save as new” so she’ll know that there’s a new message. I returned the Panasonic’s and bought the AT&T DECT phones (AT&T DECT 6.0 Black/Silver Digital 4-Handset Answering System (CL82409)) and am much happier. The sound quality is same. On the AT&Ts (and on Vtech phones), although you can’t save a message as new, you can at least leave a “memo” to the answering system to alert someone else in the household that they have a new message, which will activiate the new message indicator. You can’t leave a memo on the Panasonics. Plus, on the AT&Ts, there are dedicated buttons to go straight into the directory and the caller ID list, and the interface is much easier to navigate with intuitive menus. Also, the AT&Ts share a single directory so that a phone number saved on one phone is available to all handsets without having to try to forward numbers one by one to each handset as with the Panasonics. The Panasonic set was a disappointment and I’m glad I returned them.

   The AT&T Handset Answering System is excellent. It was simple to set up and program with virtually no use of the instruction manual. It has good quality sound and the speaker system that allows hands free is great. I do not use the built in answering system as I have one with my phone service but I am sure that it would be equally good.

   These are excellent phones. The whole house can be covered with just one phone plug-in.

   As an answering machine this AT&T unit of a base set & three remotes worked as they are advertised. The only thing I miss is an announcement of the caller.
