Solid phone, but has some annoying flaws. I have the base unit (comes with 1 remote) and two add-on remotes (max of 3 add-ons for a total of 4 remote units).
A few things I find both invaluable and the phone definitely delivers:
1) 5.8GHz... My old 2.4 Siemens would frizz out when my wife punched up the Microwave to the full 1600watts and with this system, there's no interference.
2) Buttons have a good feel to them
3) Supports 2 lines on all phone units - you can isolate a phone to ONLY answer or dial out on ...

People can't hear you well I bought this phone early on when it first came out. I have been a strong proponent of Panasonic cordless phones for at least 10 years, and this is at least the fourth or fifth one I have owned. I wanted this because it had 2-lines and worked on 5.8Ghz (and has speakerphones in the handsets).
It has all the right features, though it is a bit uglier than some of Panasonic's previous phones. Most importantly, PEOPLE DON'T HEAR ME WELL when I speak to them. The mic is not sensitive...

Panasonic Cordless is the Longevity Leader I wrote this review for the Panasonic 6502B, which is the same system with 2 handsets included, whereas the 6500B comes with just one. They both take the same 650 handset to exapand the system, Here is the reivew:
I've been researching the different phones quite heavily. Some of the more profound findings were from on the floor sales staff at major office supply stores. The first store, he mentioned that the Panasonic was the best, and that Uniden, and V tech were junk. The second store I w...

Good set of features, some quirks Here is my quick review after using this phone for several months. I purchased it mainly due to the positive reviews (especially versus the other similar models) and the features it offers. My highest priority was a two line cordless phone that was 5.8Ghz so it wouldn't conflict with our wireless network at home. It has all the features that you would expect including a built in answering machine, speaker phone on handset and base, and good clarity and range.
I have two issues that...

Best of the bunch, and pretty good anyway The 6500B was the last one I tried of three. I've had cordless Panasonic phones break too often in the past so was reluctant to buy one again. But the other choices had major drawbacks. I really needed a two-line phone that wasn't 2.4Ghz.
The first I tried was the Uniden TRU8866. It had a bad echo on the extra handset and other people complained about that too. This phone uses phone company voice mail (no built-in ans mach) - which is fine - but I had the VM system go bonkers so ...

Works like a charm I have a VOIP line and a backup landline; I had been through the nightmare of having two separate phones, and of always having the wrong one to hand, so I decided I was set on having a two-line phone. The traditional landline was to be bare-bones, so the phone system needed to have an integrated answering machine (I've since turned off the voice mail on my VOIP line as well). And it needed to be 5.8GHz so it wouldn't interfere with the Wi-Fi reception (or vice-versa).
Turns out that ...

Very good phone but could use better user interface I've owned several multi handset systems over the last 4 years beginning with the product the started it all off, the Siemens 2420. Don't even get me started on how bad the Siemens cordless handset reception is. Everyone who uses one knows they are pathetic. Other than the poor reception, the Siemens 2420 and 8825 still have the best menu system and setup of any multi handset system, Panasonic 6500/6502 included!
Just so everyone understands, Panasonic, Uniden and most companies (I...

Great sound quality and features No interference at all with my wireless router, which was my greatest concern. Moreover, the sound quality is great!
I expected a somewhat greater range than I got (thus the 4 instead of the 5 stars), but it's not bad considering I live in a three story apartment with 100% concrete & brick walls (no dry-wall). The blinking antenna-tip instead of the annoying ringing is a big plus as well, and it's on-screen menu is very user-friendly. Bottom line... great buy, and great value for the money...

Not well executed There are, at this time, exactly two 5.8 GHz 2-line expandable phone systems -- this Panasonic and the Uniden TRU8866 -- and I found it frustrating to research them because they're new and there's not much information out there. So my two cents, should it be helpful...I bought this Panasonic 6500B and three handsets, played with them for a week, and called today for an RMA number to return them. I'm now evaluating the Uniden system, which I think I'll end up keeping.
(For reference, I...

Very nice phone system An incredible little phone system. We purchased a full compliment with 3 additional handsets a few months ago. So far it's been great. The default ring tone is nice but the other options are pretty annoying. The screen is easy to read and the menu system is very easy to navigate. The speakerphone is surprisingly clear. There has been no interference and our wireless computer network hub is only 10' away from the base. The Voice Enhance feature is pretty much worthless. It makes everyone sound li...
