Interesting to note also that according to the Global Cordless Phone Market Research Report 2016 (QY Research) Panasonic is the "Global #1 Brand in Cordless Phones". I second that!
This Panasonic phone system is a cinch to set up with its easy-to-follow instructions and includes all the basic functions you need. The set includes 1 cordless phone in the base unit and 3 more cordless phones you can place throughout your home. If you need extra handsets, 2 more are available but must be ordered separately at an additional cost each. Just one phone jack is needed where the base unit is located.
Accessories included are Ni-MH AAA rechargeable batteries; a wall bracket and screws if you wish to have the base unit wall mounted; and a belt clip to place your handset and be comfortably hands free as you go about your business throughout the rooms in your home.

- Not only does it have Caller ID but it has Talking Caller ID. There is no need for me to get up to see who is calling, I can just listen.
- Can permanently block up to 60 callers so you never have to deal with those unwanted and annoying calls ever.

If you are often prone to misplacing your handset, the handset locator will come in handy.
The ringer ID function allows you to link a ringtone that you downloaded or selected from its library to an incoming pre-programmed phone book entry number.
