Review: Super as a back up phone. Pretty good but not perfect for the elderly. - Super phone - I'm really pleased with mine. I bought it mainly to use as a back up phone for home and also because the EE signal here on my iphone is not great, but the SMARTY signal in the house is good - so I'm using this Panasonic as you would a landline, basically. Much cheaper than an actual landline, and great for emergency use. I bought this for about £38 on desertcart Warehouse (used, excellent condition). For me (44yrs old) - I have had no issues using the phone or working out settings, volumes etc - it's pretty straighforward to use and no instruction manual neeeded for me at least. Love the old school flip action to answer/hang up. Battery life seems excellent so far. Cal quality is very good but not perfect. According to Panasonic this phone is enabled for HD voice calls (also called VoLTE)… which basically uses the 4G network to enhance call quality. My SIM/provider I don’t think has yet rolled out this service to my area so I’m hoping this will soon happen so that call quality is even better.
Review: Really xcellent for the target market, though with one or two qualifications - Contrary to some reviews here, this is really excellent if you are buying for an older friend or relative. The battery life is phenomenal, and it even has a function where you can turn it off at night and wake automatically in the morning which would make this even better. Good build quality, feels very robust, the display is clear and simple. Contacts are clearly displayed, and its very nice to have the three buttons at the top of the pad for regularly called numbers. Message function is fine. There's an alarm function on the back which is slightly recessed, its not going to be called by accident. Moderate weight, quite light. The qualifications? You will have to set it up for them. The user guide is unreadable, and even when you download a pdf, its not very helpful. Trying to figure out how to lower or raise the ring tone volume, for instance? I gave up. But you can get the same effect by changing ring tones, so its not critical. The back is quite hard to pry off, to put in battery and sim card. But it does come off OK if you pry it open carefully and firmly. It doesn't have a radio function. It will take a 32G micro sd card however, and when you connect to a pc it will ask whether you want to go into mass storage mode, after which you can add audiobooks or music. If you want it to answer on opening, which most will want, that has to be set, so another dive into the setup menus. All these niggles only apply to setting it up. Once that's done, its going to be just about ideal. Recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really poor battery life.
*by T***R on 15 June 2024*

Purchased for my 87 year old Mother. Easy to use and loud enough for her. Only let down is battery life if out and about....really poor compared to a smart phone!
