I purchased this add’l unit because I needed a phone for a workshop/storage building located upon my mountain property and I didn’t want the hassle nor did I want to undergo the added expense of having an additional phone-line run out to that building. In the past, I’ve usually just carried one of my home’s DECT 6.0 cordless handsets down my property to that building and it worked just fine. I then decided that it would just be easier for me to have a phone inside that building instead, and I wondered if just adding an extra DECT 6.0 handset to that building would work…as opposed to having the phone company install a phone-line (with jack) to that building.

I researched the best price for an extra digital handset, and once again, I discovered that the best price was here on Amazon. Although the model number differed slightly from my existing Panasonic DECT 6.0 handsets, I decided to purchase one anyway since it looked almost the same. So, I placed my order and I received my new handset in just a few days. I compared this new handset to my older handsets and they look almost identical – except for the fact that the number pads on my older handsets light-up completely where the number pads on this new unit are only back-lit; thus, making a little harder to read in low-light situations; however, since its instruction booklet was clear and concise, it definitely made its set-up a quick and easy experience.

This new handset easily communicates (via the intercom feature) with the base unit located inside my home and I’m also able to make/receive phone calls at that outbuilding without any problem(s) whatsoever. My system’s phonebook shows-up on this new handset and I saved a lot of money by not needing an additional phone-line or a phone jack installed in that outbuilding either. Best of all, like the original units, this unit’s sound quality/reception is also crystal clear and my only regret is that I did not decide to do this earlier…heh…heh. Since my system is capable of handling six handsets and because this new unit works so well, I’m now planning on purchasing another one of these additional handsets for another building located upon my property as well…cheers.

Othewrwise the voice quality works well.
