Extremely annoying, do not buy, especially for a business.
Bought it for my new retail store and hate it almost as much as my customers who try to leave messages and just get cut off. It may have cost me sales, who knows.

One of the cordless handsets has a battery that is defective.

It is also common to think you have keyed in a whole telephone number only to find after a while of waiting to hear a ringtone that the key pad didn't register one of the buttons you pressed. We now spend time very deliberatley pressing the numbers to avoid wasting even more time.

The only reason I haven't changed it yet is that I work so many hours I have had no time. When I do buy a new one I intend to destroy this model with a mallet, or by rolling over it with my truck. I feel I need revenge and satisfaction. Terrible product.

Great phone
I've had the E2562 for about 3 months now and I've had no problems whatsoever. Ok, so I also have to mention that I'm not using the 2nd line, which I saw was causing some of the problems with the phone.
I'm using the base in my home office and the cordless is always somewhere in the apartment. :)
The answering machine works like it's supposed to.
If anything, I wished that both the base and the cordless were sharing the phone book because it's really annoying having to save phone numbers on both everytime.

Needs further development
I purchased this phone with high hopes of it being able to handle both personal and business lines well, and in a discreet way. The fact is, the electronic features of this product are brilliantly thought out and the phone system functions with a high degree of intuition. It also has a quality "feel". The problem is, the voice quality (ultimately the bottom line) is poor (people complained) and the sound reproduction of the answering machine is simply dreadful - for me it was unacceptable.

Another problem, is that the two base units for the cordless handsets (not the handsets, themselves) that I got with this phone (I purchased an additional one) interfered with the VHF reception on my TV to the point of rendering it non watchable. As long as one of the base units was plugged into a wall receptacle somewhere in the house, it produced tremendous visual and auditory interference on the TV across the VHF spectrum (I use an antenna for off-air viewing) that made it impossible to view ANY programming. Unplug the base units from the wall (again, I'm not speaking about handset use) and the problem stopped immediately! Go figure!

This promising product needs further refinement to be viable. I returned mine for a refund.

Great Phone System without the answering machine
Like other reviewers, I had the same problem with about 25% of line one calls cut off and the answering machine asking the caller for a security code. I tried 3 different E2562 phones including one replaced by AT&T. All the replacements had the same disconnect problem on line one. Line two was perfect on all phones.

The reason I'm giving this phone 4 stars is that I overcame the answering machine problem by using my phone providers voice mail for line one. The E2562 is far superior to other 2 line systems I've tried including Uniden and VTech. The E2562's sound quality, speakerphone quality and ease of use are the best I've found in any phone. The handsets have a good feel and battery life is excellent.

If you can live with the answering machine snafu, this is the best 2-line expandable phone system at an affordable price.

2nd phone in 2 months - answering machine won't work
I have now had 2 of these phones in two months and each time the answering machine stops working and won't record a message.With this most recent one the person will start talking and the recording to ask for the security code starts and cuts off the message.Not worth the money at all. I hear Panasonic has come out with a good 2-line phone.This is a waste of time and money. ... Read more

Does everything its supposed to
I bought this as a reconditioned phone via an amazon re-seller.

If you have two lines at home, this is the phone for you. (Assuming you can find one).

It's sound quality is fine and given its relative complexity, it is easy to use.If it has the features you are looking for, go for it.

Avoid this phone
This phone will cut off your callers when they are leaving a voice-mail (see other reviews to see that this is common).It appears that it is dectecting tones in the callers voice which triggers the phone to think you are trying to access your voice mail.

Avoid this phone.

Bad phone, poor customer service
The answering machine cuts off messages.After three months use static came on the line with each use.House telephone lines checked out; we were told phone was defective.Customer service of no use.Avoid this phone and avoid AT&T "service".

AT&T 2462 Saves drowning poodle!!
Actually - No.But this phone system has been with us for over a year now, and the quality and features still impress us.Many of our clients don't recognize when they are speakerphone, and the feature-set - for a two-line phone - is impressive.The menu system for speed-dial can be a bit bothersome - but works fine, once you are used to it.One feature we would have liked to see, is a way to add 'hold music'...but this is a minor peeve.

AT & T Model 2462
The voice quality is GREAT.The answering system, cuts off messages.AT&T support is terrible.Sent replacement...it failed also...sent upgrade model E2562,(with wrong remote units - which had be returned for the correct ones)...now line one is disconnected when put on hold to answer line two.It has been 10 months of dealing with a very poorly run customer service department. ...

Siemens - Do you even care ?
Had a Gigaset 2420 - very expensive, worked great for about 2 yrs - then like everyone else that bought one experienced bad display and warbling when on calls. Looked for replacements and found the Gigaset 8825 had the best feature set for the money -bought into Siemens again for even more $$$$The phone out of the box had clicks and pops in the cordless conversations - then lately ( 1.5 yrs old ) the caller ID on line one no longer works. Sad - Very Sad I have to see if I bought this on one of those credit cards that automatically extends wty - Siemens does not want anything to do with it - their 800# support only helps their newest prey - the tech I reached on their toll # only said the phone was shot and bring it to a service center.Collectively people have lost a lot of money to this company.I for one will not buy any Siemens product again - ever.

Do not buy Siemens Gigaset at any price
From my experience, Siemens never repaired the issues form their first miserable attempt at creating a consumer/home office phone line of business.I made this mistake of forgiving them on the first iteration, only to see the same problems on the second. If you have the same experience as I, you'll begin to see the LCD fade after a year, maybe two. The handsets deteriorate in short order as well.For me, attempts to contact Siemens result in an offer from them to sell me reconditioned components, or no return e-mail at all.

If you buy this you will be: wasting your money, rewarding gross incompetence, become as frustrated as I.

Stay away from Siemens phones!

Pros:Specifications look good on paper.Phone made neat crackling sounds as I used it for target practice with my shotgun.

Cons:Everything else.

This system reminds me of Paris Hilton - nice package that works out great for a while, but sooner or later you discover there is little merit to this overpriced, high-maintenance, fragile and fickle unit.

Customer service is basically from the "we-already-made-our-money-and-we-don't-repair-them-so-screw-you" school of thought.Unfortunately, I bought 2 of them with 4 remotes.Both base stations have failed - so I guess I'm stuck.

I wonder if the remotes would fit in my clay pidgeon launcher...

Destruction of the phone by power outages
I had the previous line of phones and paid hundreds of dollars for it only to find that a power outage destroyed line 1. Siemens wouldn't fix it and essentially told me I was out of luck.I swore never to buy another Siemen's product.I was curious about the new generation phones and I see that they still have the identical problem.It doesn't surprise me.They showed zero interest when I reported the problem so how could they redesign the next generation of phones to deal with it.

This set has been really great for me
Good range, excellent sound quality, loaded with features.In the Fisk Mansion we needed a way to have a bunch of phones without ripping out the walls and this worked great for us.

Cons :
Hard to get to line 2 from remote handsets.
SpeakerPhone is not loud enough.
No flash switchhook feature on remotes for call waiting (that I know of). ... Read more

Keep on Looking
We decided to spend a little more money and go with a cordless phone that we could expand with.Along with this phone we purchase two additional handsets.What a big mistake.In less than a year, the LCD screen on two of the handsets doesn't work(no caller ID, previous caller etc.).The battery on the other handset doesn't hold a charge or indicates that you're out of range, get closer to the base.. when you're standing right next to it.

Needless to say we were very disappointed and are once again phone shopping.

Works great & good price
I purchased this unit several months ago and found it to be as described. I guess I must have got a good one as I have to turn down the handset volume to mid-level even with the TV on and kids running around the room. Corded unit is clear and speakerphone is convenient. Both range and battery life have been more than satisfactory. One note is that the speakerphone is not as good as the several hundred dollar unit I use at work in the conference room - but I wouldn't expect that. Price it out on the web for around $100.00

Goodphone
I must have got a good one or something after reading some of the reviews.Mine works great, no problems.Of all the cordless phones I have had in the past, this one has more distance in between the base and extension than any of them, much farther than the 5.8 ghz phone I have in the shop.For the money, I don't think you can beat it.I've got much more expensive phones that don't work half as good as this one.

Mediocre
I use this phone mainly for the speakerphone feature (for conference calls).My review is purely based on the base unit since I did not hook up the cordless handset.For this price, I expected a good speakerphone but it'll only pick up my voice when I'm talking within 2 feet.I've tried several speakerphones, and I thought I found what I need in this but was disappointed.Bought it at Staples for $150 and planning to return it, and get a cheaper phone (value for money).Features that I liked about this phone are the caller-id, and mute feature.Overall this phone is ok, but not for the price I paid for.

Display Problem Solved!!!
FIVE STARS if it weren't for one key problem ...the display goes blank and stays blank.

However the great news is ...there is a reliable fix for this problem.Unlike other comments in this feedback forum, the fix is not simply to replace the original Ni-Cd batteries with the new Ni-MH batteries.The second key finding of my problem solving was that the remote cordless phone's recharge-base electrical cord and power supply can come loose from the wall outlet and cause a weak and irregular trickle of power to the phone while it looks like it is charging.My advise to anyone that has or is interested in buying this phone system is to replace the Ni-Cd Panasonic batteries with a Ni-MH (ex. Energizer ER-P511) batteries as soon as possible, even if you have to discard like-new Ni-Cd batteries.Secondly and just as importantly ensure that your charging-base power cord is very securely plugged into the wall outlet.If your phones are not new, then make certain that the `metal-to-metal' components of the charging-base and the cordless phones are clean.Also make certain the springs that are located inside the cordless handset battery compartment, which contact the battery are clean.

The combination of the power-cord problem and the Ni-Cd (memory sensitive) batteries causes early failure of this type of battery.The low-power battery then causes problems with the phones.The worse problem is that you totally lose the display, but other problems such as short-talk time and call-disconnect can also occur.The Ni-MH batteries and the power cord wall connection-check will make this phone system GREAT!

Look Elsewhere
Within the 1st few weeks of owning the phone the cordless battery needed to be replaced.A few months later the cordless earpiece stopped producing sound.I've bought numerous $20 or less portables that are tougher and a better value.The base unit is fine but does nothing extraordinary that you can't get for less elsewhere.

A good combination of "Two Worlds"
This phone is a good combination of both the "corded" and the "cordless" worlds of phones.The corded "home station" of this phone will work even if the power is off, which is something many people overlook when buying a phone.The adjunct handset can be put anywhere there's an a/c outlet, and doesn't require a phone jack.

I have telephone company voice messaging, so the Message Waiting light is a real plus.The speakerphone has good sound quality.My only complaint is that the home station doesn't have any autodial keys for frequently called numbers.All stored numbers are in the main directory.Also, interestingly, there is no place on either station to record your own phone number.

However, my likes outweigh my dislikes on this phone, and I definitely recommend it.

A great phone
The quality of this phone has turned me on to vTech again! The voice quality is great; only downside is the handset bade, which is poorly designed and rarely makes solid contact with the cordless battery. But the corded phone and speakerphone are great!

Excellent phone!
What a terrific system.The phones both work great and offer the flexablility of a cordless and the convienience of a corded phone, all in one package. The corded phone also has a speakerphone that actually sounds good and numerous other features.Well worth the money. ... Read more

Titanic Failure
After past success with Panasonic cordless phones I felt that it was worthwhile to spend the extra money and purchase this 'deluxe' unit.One thing that put me over the top was the $50 mail-in rebate at the time.In the end I paid about $100 for this phone.

Before I go over the problems I will give credit where credit is due.
-The volume on the base unit is good.
-The speaker phone is clear and as loud as you want it.
-The cordless unit has a plug in for a headset.
-There are other base unit features that somebody might have a use for.I am not sure who.

OK, now the bad parts.
-The first battery for cordless unit was toast after 10 months of relatively light use.
-The base unit is CORDED, so it has limited uses.
-You can't scan your calls from the cordless unit.
-The base unit does not work well when wall mounted.Hard to see, hard to use.
-Battery for cordless unit is impossible to find and expensive.
-Volume on cordless unit is too low when you use a headset.
-Second battery has lasted only three months after regular use.

Right now I have two options: (1) Buy another battery for this unit, (2) buy another cordless phone.Most of the negatives that I have stated above are somewhat easy to work around.I just don't expect to have to work around issues on a $170 phone.The real show-stopper is the battery (cost, availability, and life).I purchased a $35 Motorola for my mother about 18 months ago and the battery just ran out, her penchant for yacking notwithstanding.I guess that I am going to cut my losses and get a decent phone.

If you are looking for a deluxe phone, unless you can get this one for about $30, I would avoid it like the plague.

Average phone, a bit outdated for our time...
It is not convinient to work with direct dialing through cordless set. There are only 3 direct dialing numbers available - should be at least 10 for our days. THE WORST THING of this phone battery in the cordless set are dying within 5 minutes. In the begining Battery was holing the charge for abt half an our. After about 6 month of using I can not make a call - battery dies as soon as I am starting to dial the number.

Worthless when the battery is always dead!
This is a very nice base unit coupled with aworthless handset.I have returned the whole system once to Panasonic and replaced the battery three times in one year.It has always been charged according to directions.Apparently, this model is the victim of short sighted engineering.Stay away unless you have a garage full of expensive batteries for the handset!

!!!CAUTION!!!
While Panasonic is consistently the most highly recommended cordless phone by electronics salespeople, this is my THIRD failure with Panasonic.While I have few problems with the corded wall mount unit, the handset has not held a charge for more than a 10 minute conversation after approximately 3 months old (after the store warrantee expired) and I am unable to say more than 'hello' on it now, before it dies out now.I have returned the phone once within the store warrantee and I have replaced the batteries twice in 2 years, which are hard to find and costly. Panasonic customer service has been neither helpful nor sympathetic to my problem.I am now researching a variety of less 'recommended' cordless phones...

A Waste Of Money
I thought I was getting a bargain by purchasing this, because it included the cordless handset as well as the base unit. Boy, was I wrong. I've had this phone for about a year, and I've replaced the battery twice already. Even with a brand-new battery, the handset is only good for about 45 minutes before it needs to be recharged.

Useless
The display on both the handset and phone died after 2 months of use.I think there are quality issues with this phone.

Don't waste your money!
The handset stopped working after 1 month of usage and replacing the batteries didn't work. It is a piece of junk. Also the answering system you can't hear the messages clearly, so I have to keep playing them until I can make some sense out of them. The LCD screen on the base is very poorly visible. If you fix the contrast it puts it too dark or too light, no happy medium. All in all looking for a unit to replace this one. What a waste of money. Should've read reviews before purchasing. GOODLUCK!

NiCD/Charger system malfunction
After using this phone for two weeks the battery on the cordless phone would not keep a charge for more than 5 minutes.Replacing the battery has not helped and I have found other review sites for this phone with the same problem desciptions.
Other than the battery charging system problem, the phone works fine except for the answering system.It is a typical garbled digital answering system.

Not impressive at all
I bought this because i really love the features that it offers. The caller id works just fine, so does the radio and the alarm.
But during phone conversation i would hear a really annoyingand piercing beep coming from the phone, as if someone is pressing the knobs whilst i was on it. also, the ring tone is lame, and the snooze button does not snooze to the time u set it...if u set to snooze for 10 mins, it snoozes for 15 mns.

Man, the radio is the best thing on it. ... Read more
