Well, I am surprised by the positive comments on Panasonic Dect phones.
Each of the 5 handsets on my Panasonic system have failed one by one. Now
only 3 years after purchase I have to buy another complete set and start
over. I will NEVER buy another Panasonic phone. It's all very well having
the fancy functions, but not if you can't make or receive a call on it!
Trouble is, what to buy that's going to be reliable?

Why don't your open up the battery compartment and check to see what kind of
batteries are in it. The panasonic phone I have has 2 AAA NiCD batteries
in. I found a battery store in town called them and replaced all 6
batteries in 3 phones for $12.00.
