Panasonic Link2Cell KX-TGM430B Bluetooth-Enabled Amplified Cordless Phone with Enhanced Audio Quality

EDGAR SANCHEZ: realmente me agrado mucho la fidelidad en el sonido, lo uso con mi celular para algunas llamadas que no se escuchan muy bien y al pasarlas con la aplicación link2 realmente gano mucho en el sonido una herramienta muy útil, solo que esperaba también poder recibir en mi celular las llamadas que llegaran a mi linea fija aun cuando no estaba cerca a mi fijo

L. Cheng: Bought this phone for my elderly dad - he couldn't hear his cell phone ringing so we wanted a "landline"-style phone that would be loud and hard to misplace. It's worked out well! Pros and cons below:

+ link2cell feature ended up being amazing. When we call my dad even through digital services (wechat, etc.) the phone rings for him!
+ link2cell was straightforward and pretty easy to set up. Although I have experience with technical things, even someone without technical expertise might be able to set it up.
+ Pretty compact so it doesn't take up much desk space.
+ LIKED that it came with only one handset. A lot of systems require you to buy three handsets.
+ Gets loud enough that he can definitely hear it.
* Says it has a feature to slow down incoming speech so that the phone user can better understand. Have not tried this.
- Manual is very detailed and can be hard to follow. But nothing that YouTube videos can't solve or if you're technical (or know someone technical) can't figure out.

Dorothy Zavitz: The only thing I miss about this phone is that it doesn't show the time. I used to use the time on the phone for timing my cooking.

jan martin: The basestation lost power (malfunctioing gfci outlet) and completely drained its backup batteries. The basestation went into a bad state where it would not light up even after power cycling and replacing the batteries and the handset would not connect to the basestation("no power"). The unit was brought back to life by unplugging it, removing the batteries and letting it sit for a few hours (could be much less) at which point after plugging it back in it booted back up. My guess that charged capacitors may have been "holding" the unit in the bad state.

Other than the above scare. The unit is working fine and is nice and loud for hard of hearing elder though
only basic phone and answering machine is features are currently being used.

Ernest: Amazon Canada, qui fait des affaires au Québec, en français, m'a envoyé un téléphone qui peut être configuré seulement en anglais ou en espagnol. Je suppose qu'il s'agit d'un exemplaire vendu au États-Unis. Mais comme je ne comprend ni l'anglais ni l'espagnol, je le retourne. Dommage !
J'ai lu dans le manuel d'utilisation que ce téléphone a été fabriqué pour être utilisé exclusivement aux États-Unis, et que la vente dans tout autre pays contrevient aux lois locales. Je me demande si, chez Amazon, on est au courant...

Jake: When I first opened the box I was impressed with the look and feel of the phone. The speech clarity was very good and the volume amplification impressive. It was easy to use.
However I decided to return it because it would not connect to my Bluetooth Unicon hearing aids when on paper it should have.
I continued to use it for a few more days but during that time the phone started to make a very loud screech like sound whilst I was using it. I could not shut it down because none of the buttons would work. It stopped on its own after two or three minutes. This happened twice. I'm returning it to Amazon who are very good in how they handle returns on items "fulfilled" by them. I have had the phone for about a week.

Len Stalker: I have completely dropped our home telephone (LandLine). My wife and I each have our cell phones attached (blue tooth) and with a base and two extensions we can answer and make calls from either cell phone any where in the house. The bonus is: this phone has a boost button that you can actually hear the person on the line. Perfect for the person who is hard of hearing where the amplifier actually works. Did I tell you that we save $ 40.00 per month NOT having the TELCO and a separate home phone - with taxes that is over $ 500.00 per year.

A. Yee: Bought it for my aging parents. Everything works fine. My parents are so-so to poor with technology so it will take time for them to get used to the controls and menus available from the handset directly. No issues at all.

GaryJ: I bought the Panasonic KX-TGM430B because I had been waiting for a phone with larger buttons and display that I could see without my glasses. I also wanted a MIL (message indicator light) on all handsets so I could easily see from anywhere in the house if there were messages. This phone is exactly what was looking for as it has those features. The message indicator light is a big gaudy but is almost impossible to miss which is good. The handsets are full size and comfortable but the volume buttons on the side could be in a better location that's outside the normal grip area. My fingers tend to hit them just holding the handset.

The handset sound quality is only OK. It's not as crisp as I would have liked. The tone adjustments work but none of the available tones make the incoming voice sound as clear as I had hoped. It's good enough for normal conversation though but for a phone of this price, I expected a little better.

One big negative is cost. It's very expensive. Buying 5 more handsets makes it a lot more expensive. Also, the base is limited to 6 handsets total. I wish it would accept more or had a base with it's own keypad and display as to not consume a...

Pat: The large pronounced earcup like a old traditional phone is great. Has helped my mom hear phone calls much much better. Volume boost seems fine has not caused any distorting others mentioned and its nice and loud!. Shape of handset earpiece really helps be sure the phone is position on the ear properly. We replace a relatively new Panasonic that had a minimal "earcup" more like a tiny indent that mom struggled to get over her ear properly (that one had replaced a very old Panasonic that did have a more pronounced place for the ear like this amplified one now has and I had been very disappointed that the new sleeker design was difficult for her to position just right). As others have noted this handset is heavier than the regular Panasonic it replaced but improved the quality of phone calls a lot and my tiny mom is ok with it. It is nice to be able to have the boost set to be on all the time since mom is usually the only person using the phone but it is easy to turn it off for a call when a normal hearing person need to. Battery backup in the base so it works in a power failure is also a great addition. Tone at my end when receiving a call form this phone seems a bit different...
