Panasonic Link2Cell Bluetooth Cordless DECT 6.0 Expandable Phone System with Answering Machine and Enhanced Noise Reduction - 5 Handsets - KX-TGE475S (Silver)

Great so far, everything seems to work, have not used all 4 headsets yet. But all lit up and rang. Easiest of Panasonic Phones set up ever, almost took me as long to remove stuff from box, in order to preserve cardboard packing frame, in case of return. But in all seriousness within 15, 20 minutes I was entering numbers in phone list. As a Senior Citizen ? , I like the large bright display and that everything is in large print. The phone is laid out well and fits hand nicely, I have had a number of Panasonic phones all have been durable and delivered a long service life. But this one is something I' m excited about, the features are many and they so far are easy to locate on menu and set up. Not in my time of set up, I installed the phone list from my old set of Panasonics, and switched over a few call block #'s, set initial ring settings and got the phone up and operating. I did not set up Cell Phone as I am considering switching phones or get into some other features I may or may not use. This is a nice system without even counting the bonus feature of merging your Bluetooth Cell into the system Good value they last Panasonic a 3 Handset lasted about 8 years. As I am not making as many calls I expect this to last a lifetime. So for now 5 Stars, I don't usually give this rating on initial set up, but knowing Panasonic Phones and Amazon, THIS IS MY BUY OF YEAR. As always if something changes I will edit this. Note, when you see negative reviews on Panasonic systems and Amazon consider this that Amazon has many sellers and many people handling returns and so on . I have been an Amazon customer for over a decade, I have bitten the bullet on a few small things. But over all Amazon has been reliable as the best of USA retailers. I am a Senior on a tight budget, I don't have time for people who don't back up what they sell. If this review helpful please say so, I do not take free or discounted product's for my review's. I am a Panasonic Brand customer on things I use every day, my TV's, phones and blood pressure machine. The phones, one of the TV's and blood pressure machine all purchased from Amazon

I purchased this new KX-TGE475S cordless phone kit to replace a 12 year old Panasonic KX-TG5634 kit that finally died (It would lose signal with the base frequently). I'm from Canada and after carefully looking at all the offerings from Panasonic Canada, I've come to the conclusion that our Canadian selection is pitiful and overpriced. This KX-TGE47 series from Panasonic USA comes in with more features at a lower price point than anything comparable in Canada. For instance, features like Link2Cell, Bluetooth (Phonebook Transfer, Headset), Power Back-Up Operation, Baby Monitor, and a whopping 5 handsets are all included with the American TGE47 series but missing from the similarly priced Canadian KX-TGD394 model. This TGE47 kit arrives in a very small box but when you unpack everything, you'd be surprised how many pieces they managed to squeeze in there. The handsets are top notch and uses regular NiMh AAA batteries, which will make replacing the batteries a snap as they are easily sourced. Buttons are nice and big, and text is very big and clear as well. It's almost like the phone is engineered to be elder-friendly or drunk-friendly. The base is a bit lightweight comparing to the unit it replaced but overall, the fit and finish is very good. Voice calls are very clear but the volume is decent. However, in speakerphone mode, the volume does not get very loud even at max volume. I can see this being an issue in noisier environments. I'm also impressed with the improved range of 1.9GHz DECT 6.0 versus my old 5.8GHz "Gigarange" set. Feature-wise, the Call Block button is an excellent feature allowing you to block telemarketers with ease. Intercom mode is easier to use than ever, as you can name all handsets and find which handset you want to dial by name. Power Backup Operation is another feature I really like. In the event the Base unit loses power, normally your entire phone system goes dead. With this model, it actually uses the handset as a battery backup when the base loses utility power. As long as the handset is attached to the base, your other handsets will still be able to make calls even when the power goes out. Bluetooth phone book transfer is also great, and saves alot of time trying to enter each contact into the phone book. Lastly, talking Caller ID is an amazing feature. I love knowing who is calling me as I'm walking towards my phone, versus just senseless ringing. Overall, this product deserves maximum stars. It performs well, is feature laden, and it's solidly made. If my old Panasonic set can be used as any indicator of reliability, I have no doubt this one will last just as long.

I upgraded from a similar Panasonic model which lasted some ten years. As an elderly couple living in a duplex apartment, the intercom feature was important, and it was surprising how few quality cordless home phone systems have this feature. This model has a button for call blocking; when you get a robocall, just hit the button and the number calling is stored and permanently blocked (you can undo it if you've made a mistake). It can be paired with up to two cell phones, but I do not want to. All the basic features worked upon an initial and quick setup. But many features require intensive study of the manual. My only complaint is that one cannot import the phonebook from a previous Panasonic model (you can import from a cell phone if you spend an hour with the manual); Panasonic missed a feature that would promote brand loyalty. Overall, a quality system with which I am quite satisfied.

First of all, these look and feel just like the old cordless phones from the 1990's with the styling, back-lit buttons, and black/gray LCD display - but don't let that fool you. These are very advanced and capable phones with modern features. I connected this to an inexpensive mobile phone via Bluetooth and instantly we had a "Land Line" for our house. What is really nice is that you can connect up to 2 cell phones to this system via bluetooth. The mobile phone must be within bluetooth range of the base unit. Calls coming into the mobile phone rings the handsets. I have noticed a bit of a delay when testing... the call rings on the handset a few seconds after ringing the mobile phone. The intercom feature is really nice, you can call between handsets, or call the base from any handset. The range is sufficient to cover our entire 3200 sq-ft home, garage, front yard, and large backyard. When the phones ring, a voice will call out the caller ID, or if you have the number programmed in the phone directory, the voice will actually try to read out the name. The handsets are all linked, so if you program names/numbers in one, they magically show up in all of the other phones. The one annoying thing is that it complains about not having a wired land-line connected. Reads "check connection" on the handset. I never plan to actually connect it to a land line. The other slight annoyance is that you have to select the cell phone if you want to make a call, otherwise it defaults to attempt to dial via landline (which is not connected). We bought this system primarily for our 5 kids, ages 7 to 15. We don't want them all having access to a mobile phone and becoming zombies playing games or texting all the time, but we do want to be able to reach them via phone. The mobile phone connected via bluetooth stays locked up, but within bluetooth range of the base. If we need to revoke phone access, we simply turn off the mobile phone.

Outstanding phone system, lower priced than many other systems but all the functions you can possible. It may be a single line phone but that means a single land line, but once you connect your cell phones to it then it's a 3 line phone. 3 people can make an receive calls all at the same time thru the cordless hand sets, one would select the land line and the other two can select one of the cell lines. When both my wife and iI have our cell phones on their chargers and I want to find her some where else in the house, I simply use the handset select one of the 3 lines and call one of the other connected lines, all the other hand sets will ring and we can talk just like any ordinary call. The Bluetooth set up and connection is incredibly easy and works perfect. Even my wife love the thing and that's a hard thing for me to get her to like any new system. I can not think of any improvements that would make it better. A+ for sure. It even enunciates text messages across all the hand set, says "Text message ********" So when you are still in bed you know if you need to get up and read it you let it wait. Sound quality is fairly good, better then the cell phones but could be slightly better, not enough difference to bother me.

Purchased this Panasonic KX-TGE474 phone system on Feb. 8, 2019 to replace all the old "hard wired" phones in my home. It functions PERFECTLY!!! Clear sound, features TOOOOOO NUMEROUS to list, and easy to use! Paired up with my iPhone XR without a hitch! The "Call-Blocking" feature is just FANTASTIC! Holds up to 250 numbers (as opposed to the measley 25 numbers allowed from my phone carriers AT&T or CenturyLink)!! You simply hit the Call-Blocking button and press "Save"! My only 2 nit-picky complaints ares that saved address book entries are sorted by first name, and they are all upper case letters. IMPORTANT!!! I HIGHLY recommend that you spend the time to study the "User Manual" even before setting up and using this system - and keep it handy! Not that you have to, but the User Manual contains SO MUCH easy to follow and useful instructions on the HUMONGOUS AMOUNT of features this phone system has to offer!! Best $99 I ever spent - and so far, worth it!!

I'm only giving this phone three stars because I recently got it and have not used all the features it has and it has quite a few. Like baby monitor, key finder and some others. Have always liked the speaker phone funtion and use it almost exclusivelly. It also has a jack for a hands free wired mic and headset, which i like for long calls and the clips to hold the phone to your waist or pocket. One other thing I like is that on my rider mower there is a holder for a phone and my smartphone does not fit into it but this one does. I know you can't hear the phone while mowing but with the headset you can even with earplugs the ringer can be heard. Okay, some of the things to be aware of even if you have voice mail service with your provider this also has a answering machine. Now on my old phone I didn't have this and was worried that the messages would get mixed up or overlap. So far they both seem to work together. And one of the best things I love about this phone is the call block feature. I only get a few calls that I really want from doctors, family and such, but the robocalls, and others like them wanting money or selling something are a pain and I even have call block which doesn't work. Well I look at the caller ID display and if the number is not one I know or is private or the like I just press the call block button and the phone remembers the number, up to 250 I think. It also has a huge directory so if you know hundreds of people this should keep you busy loading the numbers. All in all I have used the phones as much as much as a hundred or more feet from the base and have had no loss of signal or dropped calls, which was a big problem with my ATT phone.

I really like this handset over my previous Panasonic. I really didn't expect any new features, but I was pleasantly surprised (sort of). We use an answering machine, but if we don't pick up while on another call it rolls to our service providers answering system. Problem is no one realizes we have msgs on this other answering system (the phone clicks as it connects dial tone, but you usually don't have phone at your ear yet. This phone sniffs the phone line and indicates if you have msgs on your other answering machine. It also allows you to program the access code so it's a soft key to access these other msgs. This is really cool, but the soft key isn't available if you connect the handset to both your landline and cell line. This phone also connects to two cell phones and allows you to make and receive cell calls from your home handset. It actually works really well, and it also allows you to use it exclusively with a cell phone and not even connect a land line. It also does a very smooth address book download from your cell phone(s) - it stores several thousand numbers. Another really nice feature is a handset feature that allows you to block callers numbers with the push of a button (nice to stop telemarketers).

El producto tiene muchas funciones nuevas en relación con los modelos de años anteriores de panasonic, quedé muy satisfecho. La función de bluetooth es genial!, yo pude conectar un celular android a la unidad sin problema y se puede usar con si fuera un teléfono normal en la casa, esto es muy bueno para gente mayor que no entiende del todo los smartphones, aquí el único problema es cuando se reciben llamadas de celular hay un retraso de varios segundos entre que se contesta y el que llama comienza a escuchar, aunque pudiera deberse al smartphone utilizado que es gama baja. Las teclas grises grandes iluminadas y que hacen "click" son igualmente muy prácticas para gente mayor, así como la grande pantalla que da la hora. Tiene función de monitor que está interesante: al escuchar cierto nivel de ruido puede llamar a uno de los teléfonos para escuchar. Muy recomendable producto. Por otro lado durante el buen fin el precio subió como 1000 pesos y luego bajó... a observar esas variaciones de precio..

Luckily I didn't plug this in - I bought for Australia, but the plugs clearly state for 120VAC only. This is the first time I have encountered this issue, I guess I would have expected the rated voltage to appear somewhere in the online material.

Cannot be used in Singapore as it uses 110v. Tried to return it but it will cost me more than $60 in charges alone. Throwing good money after bad. Product should be able to be used in the country they advertise in. Problem could have been alleviated if Panasonic could have used the previous method of just using connectors instead of soldering wire directly to the chargers. CTP Store contacted me after the review and promised to refund even the shipment cost. However have modified the sets and are now currently run off usb power. So will not be retuning them. Giving back 2 stars for their willingness to help.

My main reason for getting this phone was its ability to shut off all ringers for a daily set time period of my choosing. This gets rid of infuriating spam calls at night or early morning. The battery life is not as good as our old and cheaper Panasonic set, where battery charges held for a week on standby. I've not yet timed how long these held charge as we just got the set a week or two ago, but it's not a week. Call block sounds like a great idea. It's just too bad that most unwanted calls are from non-repeat or even unknown numbers. The sound quality is good. We love it that we can run our cell phones through this machine, enabling us to use any of the handsets as a cell phone. They can even adopt the sound of the cell ring, if one so chooses. One can pair two cell phones to run through this phone system, so while one party is on a call on one handset, using a paired cell phone, another party can make a second call with another paired cell phone through another handset, and a third party can make a call on the landline on another handset. Another bonus: the sound quality is much better than the often garbled sound of cell phones when running them through the handsets.

Me gusto que lo que compre llego exactamente igual
