PanasonicCordless Phone with Advanced Call Block, One-Ring Scam Alert, and 2-Way Recording with Answering Machine, 4 Handsets - KX-TGF944B (Black)

The phones are very user friendly. They have a wonderful call block feature that can block the call before or after the phone is answered. They have a buttons are clearly marked and the phone functions well with no static or noise on the line. It’s a nice looking phone and fits in wherever you put it. It’s a great value.

The landline phone system we had in our home worked fine however the problem was that we were constantly bombarded each day with Robo Calls and all kinds advertising and junk spam phone call that were just never ending and very annoying to say the least. I did quite a bit of research on Amazon on the new generation of phones that included anti spam technology and ultimately decided up this Panasonic phone system after going through all the product reviews. I also liked the fact that it was made by Panasonic. The phone system I was replacing was also Panasonic and had served us well for many years so I have faith in the brand. Setup and installation of the system was straight forward and easy enough and within 30 minutes I had the system up and running and set up. I did have to read the instructions in order to set up my preferred preferences (voice message, ring volume, spam settings, etc) but I found the instructions very clear and easy to follow. This phone allows you to sync it with your cellular phones, which is a really nice option, but I have no interest in this feature at the present time so I didn't bother with that, however I did read the instructions on how to do it and it didn't appear to be to complicated. I may utilize the cell phone feature later.. I found the system to be visually attractive and of quality construction and the best part of all is that from the minute I activated the system the spam phone calls immediately stopped. It was like a miracle We would receive no less that a dozen such annoying spam phone calls each day, sometimes two dozen. It's been 2 days now and we have not received even 1 such annoying call. My wife and I are thrilled to say the least and if a spam call does slip through somehow all we have to do is simply press the "Block" call button and the phone and that number will never be able to call us again. The system comes pre-programmed with an internal list of known spam callers and you can add your own numbers to that list if you need to simply by hitting the "Block" button. Doesn't get any easier than that. This is really a great system, I love it. Its spam blocking technology really works well and the amount of other features that the phone has is amazing. If you're looking to replace your older phone system in order to avoid those annoying spam calls just order this system.... you will be very happy you did.

This review is for a Panasonic: KX-TGF944BMy old Panasonic phone was becoming just that-- and old Panasonic phone, so after ten years of using the old phone, I started looking for a replacement phone. I had expected to see phones that would read my contact list from my cell, link to my cell for calling, etc., but, nope...I was getting tired of the spam callers, so this phone looked interesting, as it appeared to offer options for removing, and identifying callers before telephone pickup, based on caller ID.Pros:Looks like it will deal with spammers quickly.Nice range.Much like all other Panasonic phones.Battery life is good.Charger base is small and fits on desk well, while holding the phone securely.Base unit is smaller than my last Panasonic phone.During power fails, the phone system will run on the battery in the phone seated in the base unit.Uses AAA batteries, so I can replace them when needed, or if I want higher amp hour ratings for them.There is a feature called one ring delay, in which the phone suppresses the first ring to the audible ringer, until Caller ID data is captured, thus, if it is a known spammer, the phone never triggers the local ringer, so I don't even hear a ring! The spammer gets a "special", message, and I never even know it...Selectable ringtones.Groups to put your contact phone numbers in, that can be renamed if need be. I.E. Friends, family, businesses, etc.Cons:The charger cables are not plugin on the charger side, they are wired in place.The phone does not do CELL Linking, like my previous Panasonic phone did.The directory has to be input manually, (via the phone handset, or from CALLER ID info), and it does not appear to be able to read from a file, the net, bluetooth, or my cell phone.I have no idea if the 14,000 numbers from known spammers they put in are ever updated, or how I might force an update if possible.Ringtones are limited, and I have found no way to upload new tones.The instructions are clear, and understandable, but there are hundreds of options for this phone, it is a bit of a slog to get through the setup process, but that happens only once usually.Overall:I like the phone, it makes short work of spammers! When a number comes in I don't know, I hit a button on the handset, and the phone asks for them to state their name. If I don't know them, I hit the, take a hike button, and they go away, and are added to the blocked list.The phone behaves like a phone should, the phone also has an audio equalizer in it, which helps taylor the sound to my liking. The first unit I got did not have a power supply in it for the base unit. I returned it, and got a replacement cross shipped with no hassle. The replacement had all the parts, and has worked flawlessly for several weeks now. I am partial to Panasonic phones, as I have had one for the past 10 years. I hope this one lasts as long. Construction is as solid as my previous phone, so I expect it will last as long... Only time will tell...The cost is low for what it does... If I had to pick again I would pick this phone, unless Panasonic ever added CELL connectivity, to this model, then I'd get that one.08/02/2024:Almost a year has passed from the time I purchased this phone. It is still working, and I get almost no spam calls anymore... Could not be happier with it!
