I searched a year ago for a home cordless phone/answering system all in one to take the place of my somewhat outdated cordless phones and separate answering machine.Looked at many models and finally settled on the Panasonic KX-TG2700 series.I am impressed, and my family loves it.Yes, we still have the old corded standby for power outages, but these phones have worked well for 2 years now, and I bought a second system for my home office with 2 line capability.Then found an add on handset/clock radio to reduce the clutter on my nightstand.So, has lots of good functions, and everyone has one in their room and me in my office and by my bed.Only complaint was the battery life - very poor.I use the speakerphone feature in my office for conference calls and was always having to revert to the corded model to complete the call.Told Panasonic about this and the only response was to ship me a new battery, which I charged just as they stated.But poor battery design.So I did a little research and found Eveready made an Energizer battery that supposedly cured the problem.I bought a box from an on line retailer and replaced all the handset batteries, one by one, charging each as the phone instructions said.WORKS GREAT!!Batteries are sold by Technuity, Inc. and are model ER-P511.Now my phones have been in operation for over a year with these batteries and never lost a charge or cut my call off.If you find a good deal on this phone, go for it now before they sell out.Really good to use and easy to learn.I even have a door paging system/doorbell hooked up to the phone line and these phones do a great job when I use this for door intercom.And the bedside clock radio works great, sounds great for a clock radio.Panasonic got the design right - they look a little clunky, but work great.The reason I'm writing this is I'm looking for a couple more handsets before they phase out this phone.Not ready to go 5.8 gig yet.By the way, wireless modems have problems with cordless phones so we're still in the wired mode around here for the internet connection.

Some time ago, I invested a considerable sum in my phone system, only to find a day later that AT&T was no more!My husband has MS and it was critical that he has handsets in multiple places in our homeThis year, when one handset broke, I was shocked to find that AT&T was charging almost what I paid the the entire system for a single handset!The refurbished handset I purchased on Amazon works like a charm.Thanks.
