This is a panasonic digital 2.4 GHz cordless phone. I purchased this while I was in college in 2004. It was a little pricey for me at the time but it has held up perfectly over the years!

The phone comes in a few colors but I loved the red one. It is a little bigger than most phones but I didn't want something that looked like a cellphone. The antenna is the only thing that sometimes gets in my way.

It has a lot of little extras and of course, caller ID.

The other features include: 39 channel system, 30 number caller ID and memory dialer, shock and splash resistant, handset backlit 3 line LCD screen and lighted keypad, handset locator and wall mountable, speakerphone with volume control, voice mail indicator, 6 ring tones, 50 number directory, headset jack, and a belt clip. Lots and lots of goodies!

Mostly I loved the ring tones and headset when I bought this. I honestly thought that by now, and all the use it has had, that this phone would be long past its lifespan. I was wrong. It is still holding up great.

The only problem I have with this phone is that it doesn't have a huge range. When I am upstairs it will cut off sometimes (beep) to let me know it is close to being out of range. When I was in college and would go 1 level down in the dorm it would completely cut off.

We do plan on getting a new phone soon but only because we want one with more bases. This one still works perfectly! I would definitely recommend this panasonic cordless phone even though it is discontinued now.

Love the color! It looks very nice. And the fact that it still works is a definate plus. My phones normally last a year or two.

In an era of really poorly constructed devices, it is a pleasure to hear that a phone actually lasted longer than a year Jessica. I have only had one phone that matches yours in longevity and features, My Uniden 5.8.. If it ever croaks give it a try:)

I like it when the phones have all those extra bells and whistles. It makes it interesting.

LOVE the red!!!! It's great that your phone has lasted for four years but it is too bad about the range...perhaps you'll get another red phone!!

I think your favorite color is red! I like the look of this phone and it's too bad they discontinued it. I hope they came out with a better phone that has a further range. I hate dropped signals!
