Well Im happy to report that now that we have had the
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0073W729K/ref=cm_sw_su_dp phones for awhile they work better than expected. They system:
1. Unit will link to two cell phones (with different phone numbers) and you can answer either form any of the handsets (up to 6 handsets).
2. You can download the contacts from the cell phone into the base unit (up to 3000 numbers) and dial a contact from any phone.
3. When the phone rings what you hear from the handsets is the ringtone fro the cellphone that is ringing.
4. When the phone rings you hear the ring tone then if the caller is in your contacts it announces the caller by name.
5. We have one handset a 100 feet from the base unit and the reception and transmissions is acceptable (better if you are closer).
6. When you come home you simple put your phone in a location within say 30 feet of the base unit and it automatically Bluetooth connects the base unit to your cell phone.
7. The handsets have great displays with big fonts.
All in all I have been amazed at the value received for a little over $100. I have no connection to amazon or panasonic.
We will definitely put the same system on the boat (just with less handsets)!
