20 Best Cordless Phone For Seniors (2023 Updated)

This quad handset is a replacement for another Gigaset which I was struggling to use, as my hearing has deteriorated, and I was mainly using the old one on loudspeaker especially on a conference call, Although slightly put off by the size of the buttons, they are easy to see and use and it’s also easier to see the letters than on my old phone.

We had a bit of difficulty registering the handsets as they all needed doing on the base station. The next issue was with the answerphone. We have a 1571 voicemail system which supposedly takes 21 seconds to kick in and the answerphone was set to auto with a response time of 18 seconds.

On that setting 1571 answered first and it took a while working out the problem. Now we have set it to answer after 10 seconds, it works fine but it doesn’t leave very long to answer the phone, although once you’ve done that the recording does stop.

The button to increase volume during the call is very useful and the general sound quality is good. When I put my hearing aid onto loop though, I got a buzzing sound, which I don’t think should be there.

It would also be useful to have a louder volume for the ring and a better selection of melodies, as the majority aren’t suitable for people with hearing impairment. We’re using the 1970s ring which is fine.

Our old phone handsets told you which one you were using on the screen – this one doesn’t unless you make an internal call and it highlights which one you’re calling from. These are all minor issues but I’m surprised that in some respects our new phones are not as good as the old ones, despite being the same manufacturer.

I bought the set without answering machine. I am old fashion. I like my stand alone answering machine. I needed a phone with a good caller ID display. This phone is pretty good for that. Rather thick letters makes it easy to glance over at it and see who is calling.

Sound quality is nice. Mine is connected using Spectrum’s internet phone service. No issues so far.

For a relatively inexpensive phone, this model has many good features. It’s easy to find my call list, missed calls, and voice mails. The characters on the screen are large enough for me to see for a few feet away, unlike my old phone.

I have a problem getting ring volume higher. but that may be my tech-ignorance. My eyes are ears are not what they used to be after 83 years.

like the functions, The digital answering system saves up to 17 minutes per voicemail. Other features include dedicated call blocking buttons on the base and handset, baby monitor, digital phone book, noise reduction and key detector compatibility.

I also love the range of cordless systems outside the house for yard work etc. A huge investment for us. We have an older version that we just wanted to update. Will buy again and also recommend. Great Intercom, we use it a lot , instead of yelling your wanted, supper’s ready you’re needed at a location, the Intercom is the answer.

I purchased this phone at Office Depot in Jupiter ,Florida based on the suggestion of my very capable point man Keion. Since I still have a Landline this phone set up was a great choice for my needs.

It has many features which I don’t use since I just need the basics. So far I am very pleased with this phone and can recommend to potential buyers. It serves my purpose well. Manfred H. Braig.

Not thrilled. Replacing previous Panasonic set. This one was more difficult to set up and doesn’t have nearly as many places to use a “back” option. Instead, you have to hit “exit” and start the whole process over again.

From what I can tell–and it hasn’t been worth the hassle to pursue it further yet–the one-touch dial and speed dial are pretty much the same thing, so what’s the point? The handsets have fewer features and also don’t include the “back” option.

Harder to read and no volume control button on the the side that could be used while still holding the phone to the ear while talking to someone, a function I used frequently. Now you have to take the phone away from your ear and try to find the small print that tells you what to push for volume.

Also, in setting it up as well as in use, it repeatedly throws the intercom option at you–which, shock! can’t be backed out of–and I don’t have any interest in using one phone to call another inside the house, so I don’t know why they keep pushing that.

The instruction book is difficult to understand and on many things it’s been easier to simply try various things and see what works rather than read their convoluted descriptions of how to use what. Twice in two days I had calls during which the people at the other end simply stopped being able to hear me.

Don’t know if I got a lemon or if it’s a more cheaply made and overpriced version of the last version I had.

I wish I could say this is a great phone. I purchased as a gift for my elderly parents. They absolutely loved it. until they had a power outage and the base unit no longer functioned. After troubleshooting didn’t work and reading the fine print of the warranty, we trashed that base unit and purchased a second phone thinking we had a bad base unit.

We had another power outage and. you guessed it. the base unit quit working again. This time I contacted Panasonic and am out a phone until they examine it to determine whether warranty covers the issue.

We had a Panasonic phone for 15 years before purchasing this one. Part of the reason we stayed with Panasonic was because of the lack of issues from the last one. That 15 year phone survived MANY power outages with NO issues, using the exact same wall outlet as these new units.

I am disappointed this phone doesn’t meet our expectations to survive power failures and last longer than a few months. One base unit I can write off as a bad unit. Two base units with the same issue I call a faulty design.

I gave two stars because all the features for the phone are great, especially the speakerphone on each of the handsets.

This Panasonic cordless phone system works great, and it is a big improvement over the Panasonic system that I purchased in 2008. When comparing this model (KX-TGE433B) to other cordless phone systems, keep in mind that this one has a headset jack that is very useful for long calls.

This model will provide battery backup and allow the phone to work for a few hours during a power outage. The Panasonic Link2Cell Cordless Phones do not have either of these features (headset jack or battery-backup during a power outage).

I wish Target sold this system with 4 headsets, but I was able to order an extra handset elsewhere.

Our Panasonic phone system was over twelve years old and two of the three phone batteries corroded the handsets. We found this Panasonic system online at Target. It appeared to be good quality and attractive -this proved to be true.

Once a person understands where the menu prompts are the setup is quite easy. The manual is quite extensive and the system can be customized – even used as an intercom. Setting up one handset takes care of the other two automatically.

The handsets are more streamlined than our older units, but easy to get used to. The numbers are large. Volume controls are on the side of the handset – be careful so they do not get bumped (you may get an earful).

The finish is black but is easy to clean and should be durable. The system can also be expanded for additional handsets. Charging initially takes awhile but is not any worse than other systems. Some commands take time and patients to learn, but following the manual will greatly help.

Overall, a very good system for the home. On sale it is a good value. Use the Target card for a 5% discount.

I have been using the Panasonic Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System for about 2 years now and haven’t had a negative experience. Each phone receiver has crystal clear reception on the receiver and sound doesn’t distort when I switch to speaker mode.

I find the caller ID to be very easy to read in all lighting situations and navigating through the menu is a simple task. I like that I can access all of my message from any handset, but it’s much easier to do so from the main unit by simply pushing a single button on the dock.

I have on several occasions misplaced a handset and had to send an alert to it from another receiver to locate it. I also like being able to use the intercom system to communicate with someone in another area of the house.

What I like most about this phone is that it has been left off the charging dock for several days and showed no signs of dying. I would definitely recommend the Panasonic Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System because it doesn’t require any upkeep, direct setup, and its compact.

Overall the phone does what I need. Set up was easy and I like the expanded phone book and call blocking which my previous Panasonic system didn’t have. (The old one died after 8 years). I have not used the answering machine as I have that through my phone company.

I have only found 2 things which that I’m not impressed with. First the sound quality and volume of the handsets are not as good as my old system; they are adequate but my old system was better. Second, my old system blinked when I had a message on my answering service with the phone company and this one does not.

It does show I have a message on the handset screen but the blinking on my previous model as more convenient. Considering the price I feel it is a good product.

I purchased the Panasonic Expandable Digital Cordless Answering System in April last year. I had replaced my earlier product as I used to keep getting blank calls from unknown people and advertising calls all day and their customer service wasn’t able to help me in this.

This product had a feature of blocking unwanted numbers and calls which was a relief for me. The product comes with a great pair of 3 cordless handsets and the design and color of these handsets are commendable.

The phone uses the latest technology like a talking caller ID which helps me to check the number even without getting up. I can get to know the caller’s identity even while working in the kitchen. This function can be disabled as well if not needed.

The batteries are rechargeable and the eco mode helps to save the battery power as well. The call quality is good and the reception is great.

Name brand and good quality. Way too many “Bells and Whistles” for my needs. I just needed a cordless phone with two handsets and an answering machine. It fills my needs but has way too many extra features that I will never use.

Fantastic phone! Solid construction, features that are useful and easy to use such as larger buttons, extra volume, battery backup and much more. In short, this phone rocks and a zillion times better than others (including other Panasonic models that some Telcos will try to sell you!).

Highly recommend this phone for anyone ‘older’ or not super tech savvy and needs reliable functionality!.

These cordless phones represent excellent value. Solid construction. You can feel the quality in the handset. due to the visual and audio features. You can even set the system to announce your caller if you have caller ID with your service provider.

Excellent for anyone with hearing impairments; problems with vision; wanting something with decently sized and spaced controls; or anytime where hearing the phone ring and/or not being able to hear the caller clearly, such as in a business/factory environment has been an issue.

The screen’s a decent size, but if you have trouble seeing what you’ve dialed, you can set it to speak each digit you key in. The only minus point might be the weight of the handset, though I actually like it.

You “warm to it” fairly quickly and it feels solid and durable, but it ‘may’ be an issue if you have weak hands/arthritis. Having said that, there’s a belt clip, so I just hook it onto my trousers or at the top of my T-shirt.

Or you can place the phone on the table. The speaker is of high quality, so you won’t have any trouble hearing or being heard. The combinations of lights and ringers is fully customisable, even down to tone selection of EACH ringer style.

Battery standby is excellent and the display will show ‘fully charged’ when it is complete. A full charge is roughly 7hrs, so an overnight charge does the trick. Speaker phone on cordless handsets and bases is usually [in my experience] scratchy and poor.

Not with this unit. Callers say the quality is crisp and clear and no one ends up cutting over the top of the person at either end of the conversation. This applies equally to the base unit too, and you don’t have to shove your face in it to be heard! The 3 one touch ‘frequent caller’ memory buttons on the base are handy and these are matched to the handset also.

I FULLY RECOMMEND this cordless unit to ANYONE wanting exceptional quality. Panasonic will give you a $20-00 cash-back either on-line or by post, providing they receive your application no later than December 18 (2016), so grab your claim docket from the display stand or salesperson.

The unit is also available with one base, one separate charger, and two handsets – sometimes referred to as a “one plus one. ” If this Panasonic Cordless Phone doesn’t win an award for being the number one best cordless unit, I will be extremely surprised, as Panasonic have put a lot of thought into this model – which is evident the moment you first use it.

I would have given it 5 stars if it were black instead of white. The black version connects to a cell phone, and cost slightly more. I did not want the cell phone feature because I live in a cell phone “dead zone.

” I bought this to replace an earlier version of the same thing. The features on this phone excellent, and designed to help people who are vision and hearing impaired. I do not believe you can find find a better phone with comparable features, and the Panasonic brand is one that I have respected for many years.

Keeping it clean and white is the only downside to this phone.

I’ve had Panasonic cordless phones before so when I needed new phones I wanted Panasonic again. My review is based on comparison to my past phones. The Talking Caller ID, assignment of different rings and groups in the phone book are just as good as in the past.

With this phone you can store more numbers in the phone book and blocked callers so that is a plus. I purchased new phones because I was having a problem hearing people on my old phones and sometimes people had a hard time hearing me.

This phone has features for noise reduction and voice enhancement but I did not find either helped me hear better. However, I do hear most people better and they hear me better without using those features.

I didn’t realize the new phones had a shoulder rest. I prefer my previous phones as I could stand them up without the base. The screen is great. It lights up bright white and everything is large enough to read.

I bought this to replace an AT&T base and remote phone system i bought just 3 mos. ago. Too much time had passed since I bought it so I had no choice but to buy another one. Decided to go with the Panasonic since the last one lasted nearly 8 yrs.

The sound on the remote phone was bad plus it was getting hard to see the small text on the handsets. The new Panasonic connected easily , and the fonts seem huge! So far its great! Should have went with the Panasonic in the first place but when I first went to buy it , it wasn’t in stock.

I have owned several Panasonic cordless phones over the years and when it came to purchasing a new phone as a gift for my aging sister, I naturally chose Panasonic. The model KX-TGL432B was not my first choice but Best Buy was out of stock on the phone I wanted, the KX-TGD532W.

The latter being a newer model and on sale. The KX-TGL432B worked fine but the controls and interface were somewhat confusing for my 84-year-old sister and husband. For example, the Call Block function is on the down arrow of the Left/Right-Up/down function control.

The function of the Call Block is to block annoying robocalls, but I found it also easy to push this key by mistake and permanently block important callers. The ring tone was not as loud as the KX-TGD532W and the speaker sound was also somewhat distorted.

The KX-TGD532W is a far better choice which I was able to purchase two days later. Rather than return the KX-TGL432B to Best Buy, I gave the phone away to charity.

Have had so many new devices to learn lately. Was much relieved to find the phone very easy to install – just disconnect the old and plug in the new. I ran the voice set up and everything worked, even the voice mail.

Sound quality is fine. But i lost all my contacts and still have not figured out how replace them. Since I don’t have them installed, I’m at the mercy of tele-marketers. There should be an easy way to transfer them too.

The hands free AT&/T desk and extra phone is not so easy. Overall it is clear except the speaker which sounds scratchy. It is frustrating to make a call because the call keeps dropping. It was super easy to add to the director and set up the voice mail.

However the ergonomics of the hand set is not designed well. The phone keeps dropping out of my hand, I feel clumsy. Would not buy another one.

Needed to replace a 15 year old system. Initially ordered a different model that turned out be discontinued. This was some $5-10 more but still a good deal. Easy initial set up, worked fine with no problems.

Figuring out how to block calls and add names to numbers takes a little more work following the instructions, but once you follow them, you are okay. Sound quality is fine. We use a FIOS phone system.

Love the large and backlit screen. Overall, it provides the basics that you want in a cordless set up.

Nice phone. Takes a learning curve. not easily understandable at first. It’s not the most sturdy build phone but now a days that hard to find in a house phone anyways. The headset constantly comes apart and falls off the charging dock, very annoying.

The phone controls getting in and out of the different components ie answering system, missed call list. Phonebook, etc is more complexed then needs to be. Not user friendly to much jammed into the phone settings the elderly will have a hard time navigating that’s to bad then made it that way.

It’s useable and nice have 2 phones instead of just one that’s the one plus on this phone. Not all cell phones hook up to this beware.

It’s just meh. I wanted to see if this phone got better after some time with it. What attracted me to this system is the chic and modern look of it. I purchased one system and additional headset to use with it in 3 rooms.

The first day I set it up it was great. Everything was working. The next day I received a phone call only to notice the caller id in the headset base wasn’t working. No big deal, I just put them all back in the base to link all the phones again.

It was once again fine all three headsets were working together great. The next day I tried to use the additional headset with the intercom it only rang to the other additional headset but not the base.

I reset it up once again but then the intercom wouldn’t work so I figured it was something I did. Skip ahead to a month I wanted to give it a try because I really enjoyed the style of it. The static is ridiculous when it hallens and I have a line filter set up on my phone.

It doesn’t always get static but when it does it’s horrible. I guess this system works great if you don’t add a headset. Even though this is supposed to be able to handle expandable headsets it seems like it throws the whole system off whack and you have to keep resetting it to the base constantly.

I must also admit the fact it doesn’t have a talking/announcing caller id was another factor. If the system wouldn’t keep needing to be reset with additional headsets and had a talking caller id I would consider keeping it but it’s not functional.

So if you only need two headsets then this would probably work great for you.

I do not have a hearing problem, but due to working in restaurant environment, sometimes it is hard to hear from customers over the phone. When on internet and found exactly what I am looking for at your website.

I am very pleased with the phone, crisp and clear sound, can also adjust the volume as people speak, and big buttons. Would recommend.

This product arrived within two days of ordering. I am very pleased with it, easy to set up and very easy to hear conversations now with the boost control. Would definitely recommend.
