Extended Talk Time and Reduce Interference. Panasonic introduces the latest in innovative solutions with its new line of low interference DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Communications) 6.0 cordless telephones systems. The major benefits of this new line of DECT phones include up to 17 hours of talk time, substantial handset expandability, and markedly reduced interference. What are the benefits of Panasonic DECT 6.0 Phones?Engineered to work in the 1.9 GHz frequency range, these phones will not conflict with other wireless devices such as 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi computer routers, wireless keyboards and mousse, microwave ovens, and other common household devices. And because it's digital, DECT 6.0 technology also provides long ranges, excellent clarity, and helps deter eavesdropping. Multiple voice paths are used to enable the entire series to provide up to 3-way conferencing, this allows for multiple handsets to be used at the same time and up to 2 handsets can join into a conversation with one outside caller. They also provide for Intercom between handsets and Phonebook Sharing. Additionally, these systems are extremely comfortable and easy to use, with the handsets featuring large keypads buttons that are almost twice the size of standard phone keypad buttons, and are designed top fit comfortably in both your hand as well as cradled on your neck. all models in the DECT 6.0 line include a base station-integrated digital answering machine with voice menu, digital handset speakerphones, handsets with a clock on the LCD with alarm function, three-line backlit LCD, and incoming call indicator lights.

range is terrible:
This is the poorest range phone I have ever purchased.
I do not have a large house and the base has to be located in the center of the house to get reception inside the house. If the base is just 13 feet from the end of the house, it will not work in the bedroom just 24 feet away. It will not work outside at all. My older phone would get reception up to 150+ feet out in the yard.
I emailed customer service and got no customer service and no recommendations.
Works fine with MagicJack:
This Panasonic IS compatible with MagicJack, and this is no small thing. unless you want to keep buying phones and paying restocking fees. It also has great features and performance--please see other reviews. I'm thrilled. My phone is now pretty old and I haven't had the "busy" signal when dialing at all. Maybe there's a network problem in some area? My Siemens Gigaset cost a bundle to return because it was not compatible with MagicJack. There's no easy way to tell what IS compatible with MagicJack.

Great except.....:
Got this to replace an older Radio Shack set that was jammed by the microwave and WiFi. Does everything it is supposed to do. Features are wonderful. But within a few months one of the handsets believes there is a headset always plugged in and will only funciton with a headset attached. That would be OK except that the jack is extremely touchy and the slightest movement either results in a rainfall of static or the loss of the connection. I am now forced to either buy a new handset at $25 a pop or have just... more info
A few flaws:
No matter how high I turn up the volume, its hard to hear. I'd been using the phone company's voice mail. Wasn't anywhere as convenient as pressing a button. But the sound quality is poor -- hard to make out what is being said. and the replay feature isn't as simple as it could be. I've tried any number of different cordless phones. None seem especially good at what should be something easy. This is as good as I've found -- but that's not high praise
