The Phone That Talks
When a call comes in, this phone doesn't just let you see who's calling, it actually tells you who's calling with Talking Caller ID1,2. Using text-to-speech technology, the caller's name is announced between rings if name/number Caller ID1 information is available. Can You Repeat That?
With SlowTalk message playback, you'll never miss important information again. You can slow down the playback speed of recorded messages by 30 percent at the touch of a button. And with this system's all-digital answering system, those messages will already be crystal clear and easy to retrieve, with up to 18 minutes of recording time. Voices Come Through Loud and Clear
By simulating a band signal above and below the normal bandwidth limitations, Voice Enhancer Technology helps clarify and improve sound reception creating a natural-sounding voice that is easy to hear and understand. Turn the Ringer Off...
Don't miss important calls when the ringer is off. The Light-Up Indicator at the base of the antenna will flash quickly to show that you have an incoming call, and it will flash slowly to let you know you have a new message. You can also choose up to three different light-up indicator colors to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data. Light-Up ID1,4 requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call. ...Or Keep the Ringer On
With Ringer ID1, you can choose from a downloaded or selectable ringer to link to your pre-programmed phonebook data, which also requires corresponding Caller ID information to be received from an incoming call. Let the Kids Join the Conversation

Panasonic KX-TG6072B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System with 2 Handsets Reviews
Got this phone to supplement existing panasonic phone (excessive talking). The handset speaker volume is moderate only at the highest setting. The talking caller-id is especially helpful to filter out tele-marketers during dinner time.
Works as advertised. Delivered on time and in perfect condition, even though the box had been previously opened (as indicated by Amazon when I purchased it).
Some things that might improve this product is the speaker phone; it could be a bit louder, but at that volume, it is also pretty clear. I personally don't use caller ID or talking caller ID (which is one of the features on this phone) so I can't really say much about it, but you can find out for yourself.
The number pads would be nice if they had back-light for dark clarity. In all, its a great phone, hope you like it.
There is voice enhancement, which works well I suppose, and slow talk for people who have slow hearing. These are pretty nice, considering they are 5.8 GHz so they don't interfere with your wireless, and that they have nice voice quality and very nice features.
The phonebook is easy to use and convenient if you have many contacts, and you can send them from one set to another so you don't have to customize everything. The answering machine cannot be heard when someone listens to it, so you don't know if they hung up, if you didn't pick up.
There is also a wide variety of ringtones you can choose from.
I loved the old phone we had because it would tell how many messages we had, whether old or new. Helpful when you are playing with your kids in the other room and you don't necessarily want to run for every call. Something to keep in mind if you like to keep track of your messages. We have always purchased Panasonic phones and they last. Also like the talking feature.
I would have kept our old phone if it had not been for the internet. The second is that the phone will not display how many messages you have or whether you have old messages saved. The Caller ID feature is very nice. I was able to feed my daughter her bottle and still hold the phone with my shoulder. The old phone would knock us off of the internet.
I love that it is lightweight and easy to use. Two things that I do not like about this phone is that the key pad does not light up, so if you are in minimal light, you may not be able to see the numbers you are pushing. Overall, the phone is great. We purchased this phone because our old phone was only 2.8 GHz and it was interfering with our wireless internet.
Nope, "it's automatic, you can't change it." So just out of curiosity, I went to Staples and bought one of those $10 Trimline corded phone like i used to talk on back in 1989 when i was in junior high. THE BASE MAKES RANDOM INTERFERENCE / CLICKING NOISES EVEN WHEN NOT IN USE. I thought the whole reason to "upgrade" to 5.8Ghz or 1.9Ghz was to have LESS interference problems. The fact that unplugging it fixes it temporarily proves that it is a SOFTWARE problem, not a hardware problem, that could be fixed. I wanted to make sure it wasn't just defective, so I called my parents for whom this past Christmas I bought the same model (silver version, instead of black). They've been having the same exact problems. Previously I had owned a Panasonic 900Mhz cordless phone for over 10 years.
Then, when you do use it, sometimes from only 3-4 feet away, you press "Talk" and nothing happens.the phone can't communicate with the base. What a joke. "Unplug the phone, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in." So i did it, and it fixed the problem. I'm tempted to go buy a corded phone and just keep it by my bed. All this upgraded technology is a joke. Their solution. I asked if there was a way to change frequencies manually, like my old 900Mhz phone. I can't believe all the positive reviews of this piece of junk.
So now I have to get up and run across the room every time the phone rings, or alternatively "reboot" my phone every day. Their next fix. "Move the phone away from other electronics to a different place in your house." I'm sorry, I actually like to place the objects in my bedroom where they're convenient for me to reach from bed, which incidentally happens to be the same place it's convenient for me to reach my alarm clock, my cell phone, and my lamp. Funny how I didn't have any interference problem at 900Mhz but I do now. So I buy this new piece of technology with its "improved 5.8Ghz range" (bypassing the 2.4Ghz generation altogether), and what happens.
It should be recalled. He said I sounded better than any phone he had ever heard in his life. Then it starts up again. The base of the phone makes random "clicking" noises when you're not even using the phone. But other than that, still no problems with interference whatsoever. For about a day.
It had lasted me though over 6 different moves around the city and to 3 other states, always working flawlessly and rarely having any interference problems whatsoever, even with the advent of cell phone mania, MP3 players with FM tuners, bluetooth devices, and of course wireless internet signals all swarming around my apartment. Then I called tech support. I finally had to replace the 10 year old phone because of a problem with the handset volume becoming inaudible. I returned this piece of garbage to Amazon for a refund. They live in rural PA and barely use their cell phones at all. This product should never have made it through QA testing.
Who needs all these wireless technology headaches and brain cancer when we could all hear each other better and have less problems talking on a good old fashioned Trimline phone like we did when we were 14 years old. I called my friend and didn't tell him what phone I was on.
