Looking for great features & Long Range? This is It!
By JB
I've had a cordless phone in one incarnation or another since the late 70's/early 80's, and this phone is by far the most superior in almost every way. Let's get down to the important features:1. Range---I just returned 2 V-Tech 2.4Ghz phones for their incredible lack of range. My new Panasonic has a good signal over 300 feet away from the base. My V-tech, a dismal 50 feet.
2. Sound quality---this phone has no static, and the sound quality of the receiver and the digital answering machine are great.
3. Ease of Use---all the buttons look intimidating at first, but this phone helps walk you through the more daunting tasks, and was easy to set up the directory on the handset. Speaking of which, a feature you'll absolutely love if you add additional handsets---the ability to transfer your directory from one phone to the next in seconds! Way cool!
4. Expandability--this system allows you to add up to 8 phones. And each phone can be programmed to be a room monitor, a great feature if you can't figure out why no one answers from the family room (because the tv is too loud), or to listen in on the baby's room.
5. Customizable--the phones can be customized by color (you can buy 3 different colors of handsets), and each handset has 6 different ringer styles (one very cool two tone ring that is very quiet and nice for a bedroom).
Bottom line, this is the best phone system I've ever had. Comparable in price to the V-Tech line, but with much better quality throughout! Only gripe---it needs battery backup on the main unit during a power outage. Otherwise, great job Panasonic!

Great phone, one big flaw for us
By panasonic fan
We love this phone (2730 model) but we have now had to return two base units/main handsets and may have to give up on it. All of the excellent features are as described by others below -- clear menus, easy to use, good sound and range, easy speakerphone mute, excellent intercom feature between handsets. First rate phone with typical Panasonic thoughtfulness in several areas.
However, the Caller ID feature, which is essential for our family, only worked intermittently on both units -- typically on only 1/2 to 2/3 of the calls (even from the same outside number). When CID is not working the handset display just says "Incoming Call". It wasn't line noise or a particular jack -- what made this most frustrating for us is that we have several other phones (including other Panansonic corded and cordless phones) on which the Caller ID always works just fine. Nothing has fixed the problem with the 2730, from changing units, to changing jacks, to disconnecting all the old phones, etc. If this apparent problem was licked, this would be an ideal high end cordless phone.

Finally, an 8-phone system at a reasonable price
By A Customer
I have been using Panasonic phones for a long time. They are very good quality both in voice and build. I recently moved to a 4-bedroom house from an apartment. Getting phones in different places in the house was really tough especially when there are no phone outlets in all the places that I want a phone. Another problem is that they can't share the same phone directory. I was going to get other multi-handset systems like Siemens, Vtech, or the old Panasonic system. However, they only allow up to 4 phones. When I first saw that this can expand up to 8 phones, it just fits my bill! The price is right and the quality is again superb. I only got the base for now and can't wait to get the other supplement phones. Unlike competitors, the supplement phones have different varieties to choose from.
The only complain (minor) is that the base does not have a headset jack. Other than that, this is a great phone! It might not be as sytlish as the Siemens system. But for the price and expandability, this is the way to go. Highly recommended.
