(More customer reviews)This unit has every-single-feature-you-could-use, and more. It is exactly the same as the other KX-TG6583T with three handsets total, except this supplier has added-in 2 extra handsets! This was perfect for me as I bought two sets (which was cheaper at that time than buying 2 or 3 extra ones) to have the extra handsets I wanted. This price is a great deal!
You don't need the phone company to block numbers, this machine does it for you, along with pairing up TWO cell's that have Bluetooth and your cordless Bluetooth earphone! Just pair your cell and you can transfer the directory from it to this unit's directory...a great feature, along with being able to answer your cell from any handset in the house. Panasonic doesn't bundle this unit in larger than three handsets, so at this price for 5, it is a steal!
I have used this unit three months now without one complaint. Why not get all technologies rolled into one, and have the convenience of the extra cell line to use when someone else has your main line tied up? The distance is great, I have used this system in city and country, and you can even get an extender from Panasonic, but this phone with DECT Plus covers the two acres I live on just fine.
Here are the advantages of this unit, some of them already noted by others,IMO:
1. The handsets have a jack for wired headsets.
2. There is a keypad and speakerphone in the base, so it functions as a fourth phone.
3. The interface with your providers voicemail (the voicemail service I use is from Vonage) is more comprehensive and easier to use than what you get from Vtech, Uniden or AT&T. For example, a light flashes when I have a message and the alert disappears automatically when I've heard all the messages. The VTech required you to go through a process to erase the alert after you've heard your messages.
4. The Bluetooth connection is like a microwave. Once you use it, you won't ever want to go without. You can even pair this unit with your wireless Bluetooth headset!
5. Call block. Get a call from a number you don't want to hear from again? Panasonic handles that! You merely save that number to your blocked list, and forever after anyone calling from that number gets a "busy" signal. No need to pay extra for that service from your provider.
6. It will transfer your cell's phone book to this unit easily!
7. The range is outstanding. I live on 2+ acres, and have never encountered a dead spot or fading.
8. Plug the units base into your UPS that you have for your computer, and it will never be without service in a power outage.
9. You can push a button when on a call, and lock-out other extensions from listening in on your call.
10. The talking caller ID is great when you are busy in the kitchen or working on a project.
11. The answering machine, for those of you who still use them instead of voice mail, has the longest recording time out there, 18 minutes.
I saw that Consumer Reports recommended the AT&T, and I previously had one of theirs and was happy with it. However their reviews were done nearly a year before this unit came to market in March, 2010, and given the Bluetooth edge, this is the best cordless phone for your money. It is smaller in size than cordless phones of the past, very similar in size and weight to a cell.
