Perfect home phone extension
Funtions like a cell phone, but clear crisp sound , July 6, 2008

The base phone came with an easy to use computer disk and cable. I hooked up to my computer, entered all the contact information with speed and easy. I down loaded pictures to set with each phone number of family members. I created and downloaded ringtones to add to this phone, it is great! I purchased it for my elderly parents who could not see very well and had trouble hearing a regular phone. The bright color screen with large display and numbers made it very easy for them to see. The buttons light up making it easy for them to place calls in a low light situation. The Talking caller ID is not the clearest, but helped them hear that the phone is ringing. This is a high tech phone that, when programed via computer with all the personal informaiton, is really easy to operate for the low tech like my parents. The clarity of the calls were great! I could hear my parents better and they could hear me better. No more yelling back and forth..."Can you hear me now?" I was also able to set their favorite picture as wallpaper on the main screen. Battery is also easy to install and replacements are inexpensive. The cons to this phone is that you can only download ringtones in .wav format. This sent me searching for online conversions rather than using my mp3 files that I already have on my computer.

I like these Phones
I bought the base unit KX-TG5776 about a year ago with some expansion units. I recently moved in to an appartment where I really did not want to run wires to where I wanted phones. So I just bought more of the extension phones. I also have DSL so I a normal phone would not work without having filters on each phone. This way I just have one filter for the base unit. I also like the color display on this unit and the capability of a USB connection to load the phone's phone book with provided software. Panasonic has cheaper extentions that don't have the color display and USB conections. The phones do have a capability of flashing a light when there is a new message on the base unit. The default is to not have this feature on. Read the manual to figure out how to turn on. The message indicator does not work with phone company's Voice Mail.

Best on the Market!
I've always liked Panasonic. The seller was very prompt; I had the product in 4 days. Overall grade - A!

Amazing phone
Wow, such a cool phone. It is so easy to use and load with pix from your computer. I love it, you can have custome rings, pix with the people who call you , and really after all the reasearch I did so worth the money. I am picky and this is worth the price. So love the upgrade to the color panel. Will say that the phone on the dock does not go black. So if it is near you in a dark bed room, you can take it off the dock and it will go black. Just a minor thing compared to all the great features it had for you electronic junkies.

Simply the Best -- Better Than all the Rest
This is the best phone system I've ever owned. It's absolutely perfect for me. It takes a little time and patience to program, but its well worth it. No more ugly ringing. All 6 phones play my current favorite song for incoming calls, then announces the name of the caller. Now how wonderful is that! No more scrambling for my reading glasses to see who's calling. I've assigned individual songs for each of my friends and family, so as soon as I hear their song, I know exactly who's calling me. Not to mention that their picture also appears on each handset screen. I've also assigned different wallpaper (from my collection art and personal photos stored on my computer) to each handset so I always know at a glance what room the handset belongs in.

I loved the phones so much that I had to share the joy. So, I bought my best friend a set for her birthday. We are both singers, so this system is an expression of our love of music. She's just as enamored with the telephones as I am, especially the freedom of not have to run for reading glasses to be able to see the Caller ID.
