Digital camera reviews of Panasonic Dect 6.0 Dark Grey Cordless Phone with Answering Machine (KX-TG6432M)
Digital camera Review: Excellent Phone for your home
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this phone because my V-Tech 6.0 DECT phone audible kept cutting out on every phone call. Very disappointed. This phone system is so much better I am jumping for joy. Overall, the phones are substantial and the programming of contacts is easy. The best feature on the phone system besides the audible voice message and speakerphone is the headphone jack. I purchased the $10 panasonic headset and contantly use it. Get to have my hands and neck free. The only thing I wish this phone included is true conference calling. Oh well, for the price I am extremely happy with my choice. You will be too!Digital camera Review: Excellent product for a reasonable price!

I bought this set to replace my old one & I love it. It has many handy features and is easy to use. I would love to see phone's get their old shape back, but suppose that will never happen. I give it two thumbs up!Digital camera Review: Glad I bought this phone!

I couldn't make up my mind whether to buy this phone for months; the negative reviews (difficult manual, poor sound quality) worried me. If you're on the fence as I was, go ahead & order it. It's a very good phone at a reasonable price. If you do the following I'll bet you'll be satisfied: 1. Unpack it, insert batteries, plug base unit & charger unit into electric outlets. Don't connect the phone line yet; keep using your old phone & allow the handsets to charge the required 7 hours. Do not read ahead in the manual; it will only scare you! 2. Connect the phone line to the base unit & sit down with it, the handset from that unit, & the manual. Go through the manual page by page, playing around with each feature to learn how it works. Call your landline # from your cell phone to try out caller ID & the answering machine. 3. The first time you answer the phone or make an outgoing call, turn the volume on the handset down to the middle setting. The sound quality out of the box was terrible, which several reviewers mentioned, but it's because of the volume setting, not a problem with the phone. The default setting is "high." As soon as I set it to the middle volume level, the sound quality was absolutely fine!
About the phonebook: It alphabetizes by the first letter entered, so unless you want to alphabetize people by their first names, you have to enter names with the last name first. You can put as many names with the same first letter in as you wish, contrary to what one review stated.
About the call block feature: I didn't care about this feature when I ordered the phone but I love it! Since the "do not call" legislation has tons of loopholes we are still bothered by too many calls we don't want, & now when I get one of those I just add the number to my blocked list. The phone still gives half a ring while it is identifying the number & then it just disconnects.
I have only three complaints, none of which is bad enough to make me not recommend this phone. The first is it is hard to hold the handset against my ear with my shoulder because of the shape. It tapers in thickness toward the top so it wants to slide down. The second is all those 3-digit feature codes - surely the Panasonic programmers could have made this phone completely menu-driven! Luckily most of the commonly-used features are menu-driven. The third is that the talking caller ID doesn't start until after the 2nd ring. I wish it would start as soon as it identifies the number.
I really like my new phone & I'm so glad I bought it!
Digital camera Review: Good buy

I got this last week. I had a previous Panasonic model for about 4 years which I actually like better. There were less steps to delete the call log, and instead of repeatedly deleting the same number (if that person called multiple times), on my old model I'd just hit "delete" once and they'd all clear. On this model you have to press a button to get to the call log, then another button to delete the number, then another button to "OK" it. Just a small hassle - otherwise the sound is good. I don't need the caller recognition feature (an automated female voice announces the caller's name while the phone is ringing: "Call from XXX" ).Digital camera Review: Good product

Just got it so have not figured out all the features but so far works very well.
The display is very easy to read (large numbers) so it would work great for older people.
