I went to the Panasonic site listed in the Owner's Manual

only to find this phone links to about 6 phones.

WHAT IS THE POINT ????

It should be called 'BLUE TOOTH DISABLED' Rating: 1 / 5

Be advised that this unit does NOT have an answering system. Nor does it have the ability to add a Bluetooth Headset. I cannot believe that Panasonic chose to leave out those two features. If this is an improvement on the KX-TH111, then it is sorely lacking.

I like the fact that it is DECT 6.0, but the lack of an answering system or the ability to add a Bluetooth headset pointed me to the KX-TH111 even though it is 2.4ghz and wrecks havoc on my wireless video sender.

Since I just use voice mail service, I welcome a phone without the answering machine.

The main purpose of the BlueTooth is to connect to your cell phone to make long distance calls for instance.

Bluetoogh headset compatiblity would be nice however. Rating: 4 / 5

Against my better judgment I purchased one of these from a local retailer. When I got it home I was able to get it to sync with my BlueTooth phone, but I was unable to place calls. Receive calls, ok fine. But I couldn't dial out.

Finally I read the manual closely and found the answer on Page 35. I had to enter [Menu] #157 to disable the land line. Then I could dial the phone like a normal phone and it worked, even though my phone is not on the supported phone list. So that's good news.

Now for the bad news. My other Panasonic DECT 6.0 handsets do not work with this base station. They pair fine but say "check line" and don't work. It turns out model KX-TGA931T does not work with this base station. The KX-TGA930T work fine though.

I subtract 2 stars. One because you have to do special configurations to make it work without a landline (Which is why you get this thing in the first place, right?) and because that info is buried on page 35. One star knocked off due to compatibility with other Panasonic DECT 6.0 handsets.

IF YOU ARE ON THE PHONE, YOU CAN’T PLACE OR ANSWER A CALL THAT COMES IN ON YOUR CELL.

YOU DON’T GET ANY RING INDICATION, CALL WAITING INDICATION, ETC.

THE SECOND HANDSET CANNOT PLACE A SECOND CALL.

ALSO IPHONE BLUETOOTH CONNECTIONS SOMETIMES DROP WHEN YOU ANSWER THE PHONE.

OVERALL, A TERRIBLE PRODUCT.
