Panasonic KX-TGF323 Corded and Two Cordless Handsets Home office Telephone Kit with Answerphone and Nuisance Call Blocker

Excellent phone.Easy to set up and use.Avoids the need to use a complicated menu system by utilising a simple input code that takes you straight to the screen you want.If you are looking for a landline with answer machine this is the one for you.Perfect.

The instruction book could be clearer but I managed to work it out by just experimenting with the buttons. It's a sturdy phone & easy to use, once I figured it out! Ring tones are odd, do you really want ''Silent Night'' or ''Jingle Bells'' in April. Plenty of choices. Good value for money in my view, & it does what it says on the box. It's quite weighty, but not too heavy. The buttons are a sensible size for those of us 'over a certain age'! Good functions & having the cordless up-dating phone book entries as I input into the corded phone is a brilliant idea as having to do it twice is annoying. Altogether, I am pleased with my purchase & the rapid delivery.. Ordered Sunday, arrived Monday.

Purchased this system for my shop as I previously had only one wired telephone which meant leaving customers waiting if we needed to check something on the shop floor. Our previous phone was very basic and had no features. Purchased this as I liked the look of the portable phone as an accessory and we now use the portable device almost exclusively.There are plenty of features which make this a great system for home or small business. The devices talk to each other seamlessly and we have had no issues in the two or so years we have had this in service. The system is semi-closed, in the sense that it is it's own little ecosystem but still allows you to upgrade and add additional handsets (which I have.) There are multiple features within the system such as call blocking, intercom calls (handset to handset) as well as a locator feature which can be handy if you have put the portable phone somewhere and can't find it. The battery life is great on the portable phone and the charging cradle is easy to use and hassle free.Installing the device is simple. Install the main, wired handset as you would a regular phone. It requires 1x power source (230v) and one line in connection. The portable device requires power only (230v) and the base needs to be powered at all times. You can add additional handsets - check compatibility first but there are many options. In my case, I purchased KX-TGD624EB for my other shop which is a set of two portable phones (one main, one additional) - I removed the additional handset and added it to this base. I believe you can add more than two additional handsets.Each handset can be named and will all talk to eachother. You can call individual handsets from another internally, or all together. You can also hand-off a call to a different handset, so you can choose where you'd like to "send" it and it will ring on the other handset.There is a phonebook memory. It's fairly small at just over 100 entries but sufficient for most uses. You can categorise entries which makes searching for them easier but a great feature for me is the ability to choose different ringtones for each category so you can easily distinguish the call before it comes through. The range on the portables is great too - at most we can be about 20m from the base and there is no drop in quality or connection. The device in the office is only around 5m from the base but must travel through two walls. There is other inteference from devices but this does not affect the quality.One frustrating feature on the portable handsets is that if there is a power cut or even if power is momentarily lost from the base (such as moving to a different outlet) then the time must be re-set on the device. This is still the case if the master handset has never lost power. I would have assumed that the battery power in the device would retain this information but apparently not. However, you don't lose your other data, such as contacts, settings etc.There are features which we don't use, such as answer phone, parental controls, call blocking, etc but this is more than suitable for my business use. In the future I do plan on upgrading to a more managed VOiP system but this current system is more than satisfactory.In summary, the sound quality is good. The calls are loud and clear and the ring is also a good volume (also adjustable.) The devices are fairly easy to use and even for someone not very tech savvy they will take little time to become accustomed to. The range is spectacular and will cover even the largest homes and most small businesses. The system is functional, reliable and the hardware is good quality.I'm sure the era of landlines is slowly dying in residential uses and I am sure larger businesses will use more advanced systems. However, this is a fantastic product at a great price.

A really great phone system this one, I also purchased an extra handset and they are very easy to add. The whole system is straight forward to set up, quick and simple to add contacts, you also only need to add your contacts to one of the phones and however many you have, and including the base station, all the information you put into that one phone will automatically be added to all the others, even if you added another handset at a later date. The menus are easy to follow and simple to input data. This model has so many great features with not just caller id but you can also set them up to verbally call out the name of the caller, which is really good for maybe elderly people or if you have any sight problems, it’s a very handy feature. All in all a really good phone system which is easy to set up.

So easy to install and set up, put your contacts on any one of the phones and they install on all of them however many you have. Had three for a while now and no problems at all with any of them. Really good quality and I believe value for money too. Don’t think you can go wrong with these.

Easy to use and very easy to set up and link to other phones.At the higher end of the price scale but this is eased by good build and relibility.

Bought for elderly relative. Good size buttons, easy to operate and loud ringtone. Also reads out the name of the caller for numbers saved as contacts. The second handset is also useful for them to carry round in to save having to rush to answer the base station phone.

The phone and separate handset worked fine for about 3 months. Then it started having an intermittent fault where you couldn't hear the caller and they couldn't her you when making or receiving a call. Messing with the volume whilst on a call seemed to alleviate the problem temporarily. However, now it happens on almost every call, so has become effectively useless. Update 1/10/24 - contacted Panasonic support who gave some tips on getting it working again - at the moment it seems to be working ok again.
