the sound quality is good. Both my husband and I have hearing aids

If you have no other reason to buy this phone...get it for the ability to block up to 250 phone numbers. I have been consistently blocking telemarketers, and have not had this much peace and quiet for years! Other than that, the sound quality is good. Both my husband and I have hearing aids, and we can hear on these phones quite well. The range is good...We have an old house, and it picks up upstairs, and even out to the garage.

I was hesitant to upgrade but kicked myself afterwards for not doing it sooner

First, I need to start this review by saying that when it comes to cordless phones, nobody beats Panasonic. I don't work nor am I affiliated with Panasonic. This comes from someone that has been using a multitude of different cordless phones over the past few decades. For the past two years I have owned Panasonic's TG-5566 5.8 Dect phone with multiple handsets. This was a powerhouse of a cordless phone system complete with a nice color screen and flashing antenna when calls and voicemail arrived. I wanted to upgrade because the 5.8 phone just wouldn't cover my large property. If I wanted to walk the dog and talk outside, I couldn't because of the lack of range. I couldn't even talk on my deck, located on the opposite end of the house from the base unit. I was eyeing the TG7875S for a long time, but hesitated to upgrade. First, it had no color screen that I could upload a picture to (my old phone was able to accomplish that). Next, it had no flashing light antenna to indicate new voice messages. Thirdly, reading the Amazon reviews from actual owners, I got the idea that this would be sort of a downgrade to all the "bells and whistles" that Panasonic had put into their older phones. I am so happy that I took a leap of faith and ordered the KX-TG7875S Been using it for a week now, and I must say, I love it more than my previous phone system. First of all, before you even buy the phone it's a good idea to do a Google search for the manual to get an idea of all the things you can do with this phone. That being said, I was a bit fearful of all the menu codes mentioned in the manual that gave a person quick access to primary functions. How in the hell would I remember all these codes? Well, rest assured, everything is easily accessible through the phone's handset navigation screen. Play around with it a little, and you'll find that you can easily access any function of the phone within seconds from the navigation screen. The best thing about the Dect 6.0 is its range. I get far more range across my property with this phone than I did with the older. However, I still can't get a signal to the far end of the property. That problem was remedied when I purchased the TGA405B range extender. What a remarkable little unit that thing is. It almost doubled the signal and allows me to walk to the edges of my property without any signal loss. I'll talk more about this device again in a moment. I read complaints about Speakerphone and handset volume. I had none of these issues. Both work well, and there are controls to raise the volume on both. The base unit has a built-in answering machine, but I turned it off since I subscribe to voice mail service. For those subscribers like myself, you will obviously by dismayed by the fact there are no flashing lights to indicate a new voice message is awaiting you, however, a message is clearly displayed across the base and handset that a new voice mail message is waiting. Link2Cell works wonderfully -- much better than what I was using previously. When I had the older Panasonic phone I bought a xLINK device that would plug into the phone line and pair a cell phone. It was bluetooth based, like the new Link2Cell, but it had very limited range. I was amazed at how much better range the bluetooth coverage is on this phone. It easily linked with my iPhone 6 Plus. The base station is located on a top floor, at the opposite end of a large home. However, upon entering the front door, my iPhone automatically links with the base station. It's incredible, because with the previous device I was using, it would only link up if I was in the adjoining room. So bravo to this unit for its bluetooth range. So, yes, once you have your cell phone linked up, when that phone rings, so does your Panasonic phone system. Even caller ID from the cell phone is forwarded to the Panasonic display screen. Call quality is very good, but of course, dependent upon how strong your cell phone signal is. I have dead spots in my home so the quality of the calls from my cell phone vary. What I really love is when someone sends a text message to my iPhone and I get a notification on my Panasonic phone. It's really cool to hear the Panasonic phone ring and a voice say "Text Message." So, essentially, the Panasonic TG7875S allows you leave your cell phone in its charger and completely forget about it when you are home. Your cell phone calls will be forwarded to the base and handsets. If you get a text message, you will be notified of it. I knew I didn't need 5 handsets (I actually needed only 4), but I put a spare away just in case one ever fails. The handsets can be customized with individual names such as "Ron Office" or "Living Room." Intercom functionality allows you to call from one handset at one end of the house to another. I also believe (though I have not tested this) that someone can pick up a handset and join someone on another handset in a single call. Panasonic has introduced two great add-ons to this phone that I think is well worth considering. The first is something I previously mentioned in this review: the TGA405B range extender. It will literally almost double the signal strength of your cordless phone system. So, if you have a large yard and wish to have the ability to walk it and talk it, then this is a must purchase accessory. It costs just under $30. Next, is the TGA20B Key Detector. Clip it on your keychain and use your Panasonic handset to locate your keys if you have misplaced them. The device is nice and small, but my only complaint is that the "chirp" from it could be louder. Thankfully, the Panasonic handset gives you increased/decreased signal strength as you approach (or walk away from) the keys. So even if you can't initially hear the "chirp" of the device the Panasonic phone should be able to guide you there. I think I have covered everything. Just want to again say that this is a remarkable phone system. With the addition of the range extender and the keychain finder, it becomes an INCREDIBLE phone system. So happy I didn't take the less than stellar reviews to heart and bought this phone system.

Pretty cool phone system

I got this from the Amazon Warehouse so I was a little worried about the condition. It arrive in the products box and all items came and the packaging was great to. I installed all the phones, read the manual and was pleasantly surprise with the functionality of this phone. So far I have not found any CONS but the pluses to me are: 1. Link2cell, works amazingly good with out phones, a Galaxy S9 plus and the other one is a OnePlus. Never have to rush to find out phones in the house anymore also dial calls via your cell? sweet. 2. Intercom, find someone in the house... well my house is not too big but if I am upstairs and need to call someone in the basement no more need to shout :) 3. You can download all your contacts from your cell to the main unit and save them! plus the regular stuff you always get, 5 headsets, wireless. DECT 6.0 so it does not mess with your wireless network and labeling each unit...

Great Features on this phone

I bought this because the Panasonic that I had was 10 years old, and I tried to re-register the phone, but had problems. I looked for a phone with multiple handsets and found that this was the best value for the money. This phone is sleek and easy to handle. It has many different rings, some even as soft music, so as to wake me up gently. I was able to transfer my contacts from my IPhone to this phone, with very little problem. I found that, after I transferred the numbers, I disconnected the blue tooth and found it easier to use the intercom. Otherwise, you have to go through a series of buttons to get to the intercom feature. The caller id has large print. Also a huge phonebook. I read where someone had this phone's "CALL BLOCKING" feature but said that it first had to ring to block a call. I found after reading the instructions, that you could program the phone to not sound on the first ring, therefore any callers that are blocked will not go through. You can program the blocked callers or after you get an annoying call, you just set it up to block in the future. This helps cutting down on the annoying calls. It will even disconnect calls that come in as "NAME NOT FOUND". This is great for anyone trying to keep annoying ROBO CALLS from disturbing you.

Works great with a regular landline 'phone' account too

I kept my landline for years, finally went digital, but it's still considered 'phone' service. My old phones were failing, and I was down to the last usable phone, so bought this set to replace. It's great! I'm reviewing because while I know you can also use this with a cell, you CAN use it with a regular wall plug phone system. I wasn't sure about that given that most of the discussions were about cellphones. I hope it lasts as long as my last Panasonic phone system, which was a solid 15 years! Hope this review was helpful.

Love this. Finally not missing calls. Don’t need a landline to work perfectly.

Love this. I was always looking for my cell phone or the battery would be dead. I don’t have a land line. I paired this via Bluetooth and now I have a phone in every room. I now hear the phone when it rings as I set it up to ring on every phone. You have the option to choose which phone rings. I like that it plays my personalized rings from my cell phone followed by the talking caller ID from the Panasonic phone. Lots of bells and whistles. Good instruction book for a change. The great part is since they are portable if I mislay one of the phones I can grab another from another room and use it until the mislaid phone makes its appearance. And now my cell phone stays in one location plugged into the charger.

I love answering the phone now knowing I can be "oh ...

The cell phone link with text message notification, as well as call blocking and call announce, I finally got control of my phone and evenings again. I love answering the phone now knowing I can be "oh so polite" with political supporters, random fundraisers, survey takers, nut jobs, scam artists, etc., knowing this will be the last time I will ever have to take their call. Of course, caller ID added about $12 more to my phone landline bill, but well worth it. Thank you for a great product. This is also a great phone for those who just use their cell and have no landline. You can come home, charge your phone off the base phone's UBS port and have five phones throughout your house to quickly answer or make calls. Love, Love it!

LOVE this!

We purchased this several months ago to replace a similar phone (with the additional handsets that plug into the wall but don't need to connect to the phone jack, as well as the main base having speakerphone, etc). The range on these phones seems to be decent - though with 5 handsets, there isn't much of a need to go too far with any single phone. The best part of this is that when I walk in the door, my cell phone is automatically connected. So if my cell phone is on the charger in my bedroom and starts ringing, normally I wouldn't know this. Now, it rings through the house and speaks out the callers number just like it would for an incoming call from our landline. You have the option to have this phone ring each time you get a text notification. I ended up turning that feature off because it got really annoying if I got a text in the middle of the night or was in a text conversation with someone. The ringer volume is loud at the highest setting (having a parent that has hearing loss/partial deafness has made me very aware of this need on a phone - I think he'd be able to hear it fine). I was a bit surprised that I actually had to read the manual to link my cell phone. I figured it would be a bit more intuitive. You can customize the ringer to know if it's a landline call, cell phone call, etc. My husband still hasn't linked his phone to it (not sure why). Otherwise, this phone has been great! Very pleased with our purchase!

0 is a great way to pick up cell phone calls throughout the ...

The Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TG7875S DECT 6.0 is a great way to pick up cell phone calls throughout the home. The base has two bright indicators that light up whenever either or both cell phones are connected via Bluetooth -- connections are automatically made as long as your cell phone is within about 20 feet of the base unit, you have Bluetooth turned on, and you selected the DECT source. My cell phone quickly reconnects automatically whenever I return home. You can also use the phones to pick up land line calls, and an answering machine is provided in the base unit for land line calls. Copying contact information from your cell phone to the handsets only has to be done once using any one of the handsets. Likewise, the handsets all pick up the same date and time that you enter on one handset. The handsets can be individually set for how loud they ring. The range of these handsets is outstanding. I have the base unit plugged in the middle of my house, and I have no problem picking up cell phone calls with these handsets 150 feet away in my outdoor shed. Everyone I talk to says the sound quality is very good. I have not had dropouts and noise issues. Everything sounds good at my end, too. You can hear the distinctive ringing sounds of your cell phones on each handset. Notifications of cell phone text messages are announced to each handset in addition to hearing your distinctive cell phone ring on them. If you want to cut the land line and retain the convenience of multiple portable phones, this is the way to go.

Two Great Features

Notwithstanding the complaints of others this phone works great out of the box. The handsets are easy to hold, easy to read, and the volume is more than adequate for those whose hearing isn't as good as it used to be (like me). And while this phone system does have a large number of features the paper manual has a well laid out matrix for locating the features you need to set up or access. Now for the two great features I've never had: 1. When you let the answering machine pickup an incoming phone call you don't have to jog to the base station to monitor the message being left by the calling party. You can set up things up so that all remote handsets can monitor the message being left as well. 2. And the most important feature in a world of unwanted, unsolicited and mostly unstoppable robo calls is the BLOCK CALLS feature of this phone system. I've found that the "Do Not Call" list mechanisms provided by the gov't are almost universally ignored by telecall centers. And complaining to the government agencies is even more useless. Before I dropped my Verizon Landline service I could only block 5 telephone numbers and when I switched to my cable provider's phone service I could only block 20. Luckily this phone system allows you to block up to 250 different phone numbers. You can also set the phone to "no ring" when a blocked number is received. My home phone has been blissfully quiet. I only have to add a few new annoying numbers each week. This feature alone is worth the price of the phone.
