1 out of 5 stars Disappointment with reception on this corded phone.......2007-09-07

The audio on the receiver is really bad. The voice tone you hear is very harsh and it is difficult to hear the person speaking to you.Every adjustment I've tried doesn't help the problem. I often have to ask the person I'm talking to, to repeat what they said. It seems that the person I am speaking to has no problem hearing me on his end.
Talk about basics...What good is a phone that has poor reception? I don't know yet whether or not the problem can be corrected with a replacement handset. Also I was not made aware that this telephone needs to be near an electrical outlet in order to function. V.S.Simon, Houston,Texas

5 out of 5 stars Panasonic KX-TSC14B 2-Line Speakerphone with Caller ID (Black).......2007-03-23

I bought this phone for the quality of it's speakerphone function. It has proven to be as reliable as I had hoped. My company uses this phone and my experience with it there led me to this purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Nice product!.......2006-10-14

It is excellent! Well designed. Works perfectly and no any problem. I am happy with it.

1 out of 5 stars So so........2005-11-25

I was looking for a coreded phone that I could plug my standard headset into. I went to Staples to see which phones had this capability, and the Panasonic KX-TSC14B did, and at a reasonable price. Please note that I did not require a 2-line phone; it seems that all phones with a headset jack (at least at Staples) were 2-line phones.

I purchased the phone and was disappointed. For some reason it made my headset sound very hollow. As the previous reviewer noted, there is no mute button -- I guess I should have realized that sooner. The other annoying "feature" was if I had the headset plugged in, the calls were always routed to the headset; even when I picked up the handset! I could not figure out how to change this behavior.

I returned the phone and started my search again. I found a company that makes great Home Office phones... Aastra. I HIGHLY recommend their phones... or at least the PT-470 which I wound up purchasing. They also make 2-line phones. Do a Google search for "Aastra".

2 out of 5 stars What has happened to telephones recently?.......2004-01-19

So corded phones have now joined the ranks of junk "consumable" electronics along with hair driers and toaster ovens? In my search for a decent 2 line corded phone with caller ID, I purchased and with great disappointment returned 2 AT&T models (once the gold standard of all phones!)and finally, several months into the process, exhausted and desparate, settled on this Panasonic. Unlike the AT&Ts, all of the features work, but there is no mute, no reserve power supply (for shame!)and the LED screen is impossible to read from any angle except from directly above. I do not recommend this or any other two line phone. The situation is pathetic!

5 out of 5 stars compatible with our old intercom system.......2007-10-21

I plugged it in to the phone lines & it found our old panasonic phones. I was able to add it to the intercom system as the next number.

4 out of 5 stars Great Speaker Phone.......2007-10-14

Panasonic is one of the few companies today making a 2-line corded phone with a decent speaker phone. When my 17-year old Panasonic KX-T3155 2-line phone developed excessive static, I decide to try out other brands to see how they stacked up. I bought GE, RCA, and AT&T models, but wound up returning them all to my local Staples, OfficeMax, and Circuit City stores. The speaker phone feature was implemented terribly on all the models (muddy sound, low volume, cutting out when no one was talking on the receiving end, non-functional mute buttons, etc.). If you use the speaker phone feature as much as I do (waiting on hold for customer service, conference calls, etc.), then this is the phone to get. I knocked off one star in the ratings because there is no light for the mute button (like on my old model). Instead, it just displays "Mute" on the LCD. FYI - For some reason, this model is not carried by virtually any retailer (and very few online websites), so that's why I used Amazon.com.

2 out of 5 stars Not practical.......2007-04-15

I am usually a big fan of Panasonic products but this telephone is disappointing. I have had it for a number of years now and here are my main complaints:

- The display is hard to read because it is not backlit and the contrast cannot be fine-tuned very well. It is either too much or too little. The display part also does not tilt, so depending on the light in the room the user will have to make an effort to see the display at a suitable angle.

- There are only three buttons to store frequently dialed numbers. Way too few!

- Scrolling through the display to find a number is tedious and not user-friendly.

-There is also no way to delete all received calls from the list at once (at least I haven't found it). I have sat at this phone forever to delete these one after another after another...

I do not like this phone and wish I had paid better attention when buying. I can only recommend to anyone looking for a new phone to make a list of all the features they want and then check thoroughly whether the model in question has all of them. I didn't and ended up with this phone which annoys me daily...

4 out of 5 stars Great Phone .......2007-01-19

The only problem I have with this phone which is why I only gave it 4 stars is that when it's mounted on the wall the handset is not properly secured and tends to fall frequently. I've had to replace the handset because of this.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Phone.......2006-06-12

I bought this phone to replace a 10+ year old Panasonic model KX-T3175. This phone is equal in all features carried forward, and has attractive new features like built-in caller ID, intercom, and headset capabilities that make it superior. My LCD display is plenty bright, and contains more information than my previous set.

5 out of 5 stars panasonic phone.......2007-11-29

very nice item. works well. caller id is a plus. grat item and fair price.

3 out of 5 stars Nice phone, but has problems.......2007-11-15

I just got the phone a couple days ago, and it's a nice looking phone with pretty easy to use features. The handset is solid and the keypad is comfortable. I like the lighted buttons in particular. The caller ID actually works unlike my last Panasonic phone that only stored the missed calls and didn't display the number after I picked up. The display is easy to read and using the 4 lines is very easy and intuitive.

Unfortunately I think I may have to return the unit. The problem the other reviewer mentioned about the delay in dialing is indeed irritating, but not a deal killer for me. The problem I have is that the Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset I had worked fine for my other panasonic phone, but the mic didn't work on this one. Tech Support pointed out that it's not on the list of compatible headsets for this phone. So I bought another headset that is listed as compatible. (both have standard 2.5mm jacks and are both Panasonic brand) The new headset works, but only with a mid level hissing whistle sound whenever in use. I tested the new headset on another phone and there was no problem.

I work on the phone all day and need to type and move quickly on 3 computer screens all at once. I HAVE to use a headset. And I don't want to go crazy with a hiss in my ear all day.

Also, using the speakerphone didn't work all that well. We had to sit close to it and talk into it for the caller to hear us.

The last thing I'll try before sending it back is to put a backup battery in it. The display constantly shows "Low Batt" since there was no 9 volt included and I haven't gotten one yet. Maybe, something in the circuit needs that battery even when plugged in to work properly. Yet another little irritation.


1 out of 5 stars Keypad has Annoying Delayed Response to Key Presses.......2007-08-25

Panasonic has a design flaw in this unit, which is unfortunate, as it is the best looking 4-line corded phone on the market and is otherwise an excellent phone. The problem is that once the hook is released (or you switch from from one line to another) when you then immediately get a dial tone, it takes approximately an additional 1.5 seconds for an audible tone to be heard from any number keys you press. You an easily press anywhere from 4 to 6 keys during this lag period, during which time you hear nothing. Then it catches up and starts dialing, although still at a slower rate than which you originally pressed the keys. Our our four lines, on the first three we kept our original, trusty FIOS lines, and on the 4th line we put a VOIP line. Same problem all lines. We had another jack where we had plugged in a new Panasonic 2-line phone (KG-TX6700) and the phone worked normally to key presses. We plugged the 4200B into the same jack, but the same delay as before occurred. We bought a second 4200B - same problem. We believe the problem probably exists on the 4100 and 4300 phones as well.

We went out a then bought our less preferred AT&T 4-line phone (Model 974) and it worked like a charm. The Panasonic problem exists on at least two types of phone networks - Verizon's FIOS (fiber optic) phone lines, as well as on Verizon's VOIP service trademarked as Verizon Voicewing. I am not sure if the problem exists on the old copper line networks, but if you try this phone, be sure to test it.

The other thing to test is how you use this phone. If you typically pick up the phone and don't dial until the phone is at your ear (i.e. as opposed to dialing immediately with the speaker phone), then you might not see this as a problem, as it takes about 1.5 seconds to get the phone off the hook and up to your ear, and by that time, the dial tones will respond immediately. However, even then, if you switch back and forth quickly between lines to get a quick dial tone - then you will have the problem.

Otherwise, great phone, but re the above - buyer beware.

1 out of 5 stars Nobody in this market segment gets it right..........2006-07-22

I bought this to replace my aging Siemen's 2420 home/office system. It supports chain-dialing (unlike some multiline ATT models like the 2.4Ghz speakerphone base - which is now handling my "home" lines)... I had read some bad reviews of the Siemens 8800 series 5.8Ghz effort - so I tried this RCA model. Mistake on my part...

Don't bother with the 'Remote Handset" add-on - it has massive interference problems from local RF sources (home office with lights, wireless headset, wireless LAN, cellular phone - the usual stuff everything should be immune to;).

The speakerphone base is OK for listening, but not for talking. I use a Plantronics 900Mhz headset for all talking - not the handset or the speakerphone mic. Unfortunately, the speakerphone handset will NOT work with a plantronics HL10 handset lifter - I used a dremel moto-tool to fix the design and now it can lift the handset. Don't try this yourself as it voids the warranty and is functional yet not cosmetically pleasing;)

Overall this phone is simply not up to home office duty - despite having 4 lines and a somewhat decent speakerphone.

RCA should learn from Siemens and do a complete multiline speakerphone system with excellent base, intuitive functions to support business users (per-line and per-handset configuration of access, and many other features that Siemens implemented in the 2420 and 8800 series). It should support 8-16 wireless handsets, optional repeaters/range extenders, and remote speakerphones on the wireless side - as it stands it is mostly useless and will likely end up in the garbage as soon as I can find a business-friendly SOHO offering...

My Siemens 2420 lasted almost 8 years and I went thru 4 speakerphone bases, and 12 or more handsets - used it for 2 office locations (home and RV) with great results - too bad nobody else has touched this market with an effective product. Perhaps it's time to revisit the 8800;)

1 out of 5 stars Nearly DOA.......2006-03-29

I have two of model 25404RE3. Needed a 3rd for home office use. Ordered this 'new' model by mistake. The two 25404RE3 phones work fine, but the new 25414RE3 doesn't. First, the phone recognizes only line one when a two line cord is plugged into the first jack. To get it to work for my two lines, I have to plug it into the second jack and use line 3 and 4. Second, it doesn't intercom at all with the 254o4RE3 models. This needs to go back!

Also, FWIW I like the aesthtics of the older model better; sleeker looking buttons and less use of dark colors.

Thanks to all you on this page. I have checked a number of other sites as well and found that this phone is universally panned. Poor base/cordless interaction, radio and other interference, poor durability. I bought 8 of these and have not opened one. I am going to save myself a lot of time and headache and return them on Monday. Thanks again for your helpful insight.

1 out of 5 stars I should have believed other reviewers.......2007-01-21

But noooo, I went ahead and bought one of these for my home office. My biggest complaint is that if you're talking on line 1, and another call comes in on line 2, the answering machine does not answer it! It lets it just ring and ring. Unacceptable.

1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY DOES NOT WORK.......2006-07-05

I was in charge of finding a phone system for our small office and settled on the RCA. We were unable to hear or be heard. This system was returned and a big waist of time. I do not know how this system could be acceptable to any user.

1 out of 5 stars What a piece of trash.......2006-06-13

As usual, GE hides the fact that they are the real manufacturers. Wonder why that is... I bought this phone just over 3 months ago, and now it just quit working. The only thing that works, is the receiver... and I could haqve bought an $8 phone from the Dollar Store to do that.

Now that I know, GE AND RCA is off my list.

1 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Cost.......2006-03-09

Purchased RCA Models #25415RE3 & #25414RE3 to use in a small office situation. These were replacements for the Panasonic KX-TG4000B system, which was barely out of warranty when a major malfunction occurred (that's another story). Bought the RCA phone system simply for the reason that we were in dire need of a replacement phone system and it advertised the features we needed. First problem encountered was that the User's Manual is in a CD format, and you must print out the PDF file to really use the manual. The manual leaves a lot to be desired in the ease of use area. The phones don't integrate nearly as easily as RCA would have you believe. The biggest problem we encountered, within 4 days of receiving the phones, is an RCA-acknowledged difficulty with how the 25415RE3 model in particular handles power outages. On the 4th day the phone system was in operation, we experienced a 3-hour power outage, which is not really uncommon in our area. It had taken me 3 days to fully program all the features of the phones as I wanted them, including manually entering 98 names and numbers in the directory. New batteries had been installed in the phone as instructed, and the phone functioned well enough during the power outage to continue business operations. However, as soon as the electric power was restored, the 25415RE phone started flashing an intermittent "Message Waiting Line 4" message on both the base set and the cordless unit, even though there were no messages in the mailbox, and despite the fact that the answering machine was programmed to not take messages on that line. Additionally, the base unit keeps flashing "Install New Batteries" even with the replacement of the batteries. The RCA website has absolutely no help information, despite attempts to search their FAQ section. I called the 800 help line, and after over 45 minutes on hold, was informed by the rep that this is a frequent problem with the phone. She did have a fix for the problem - which entailed totally unplugging the phone lines and AC adaptor, removing the batteries, and waiting 30 minutes. Then - wonders of wonders - the annoying "Message Waiting" will be gone - along with ALL of your programming and all 98 directory names and numbers. Sounded like a great fix to me. Additionally, we're currently experiencing a lot of problems with the sound quality, especially on the cordless handsets. All in all, not the quality I would expect for the price. Have no suggestions for someone in the market for something similar, other than to stay away from Panasonic and apparently RCA brands

1 out of 5 stars Useless Customer Service No Support.......2007-12-17

I bought this phone used and it had missing AC adapter. I was hoping to be able to obtain it somewhere as well as an user's manual. What a major disappointment - you'd expect that product from such a major manufacturer would have parts available everywhere, first class support, web site with all kinds of information - well... forget it! This telephone uses very unique power supply - 6VAC there is no way to find it anywhere. Manufacturer's web site is utterly useless. Customer service 800 numbers are backed up, representatives based i India or who knows where and offer very limited help if any, most likely they will send you to a Sears or RadioShack store. Yes this is a discontinued model but not that old and this lack of support raises concern for the current line of products from Thompson, GE and RCA - once they become discontinued are they to be junked? I know one thing - I won't take chances and stay clear of this manufacturer's line of products.

5 out of 5 stars solid performer.......2007-03-16

Many comments have already been made on this product. I can add a couple here:
Clarity: I'm on conference calls all the time. The voice quality is great. Unlike other speaker phones I used before, I can talk hands-free without people complaining about voice quality.
Volume: You can turn up volume really loud if you want to, -- a plus if you have to step away from the phone during conference calls.
Overall, the unit meets my expectation. And that's NOT a plain statement, because many phones have failed.

5 out of 5 stars Love these phones!.......2007-03-10

I have a small business (4 employees) and we really didn't need an actual phone system yet so I decided to give these try. It's funny though because when people walk in the office, they think it is a phone system because the phones look and function very well. I have had them for about 4 months now and so far so good!

2 out of 5 stars Nice model, but annoying call on hold beeps.......2007-02-19

IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE HOLD FEATURE OFTEN, RUN AWAY!! CHECKED WITH SUPPORT AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO WAY OF DISABLING THIS ANNOYING "FEATURE".

OTHERWISE HAS ALL BASIC FUNCTIONALITY THAT YOU CAN EXPECT FOR A SMALL BUSINESS PHONE.

1 out of 5 stars Looks good - But thats all..........2006-04-07

Very disappointed with the performance of this phone from ATT. Speed dial is useless, you need to press so many keys it is easier to look up the number. Caller ID only works on one line at a time. The keypad locks up once in awhile and requires pulling power from the phone to make it work again. Sometimes the phone "senses" a call waiting and mutes out the caller's voice for a few seconds at a time. And the last is the best; when answering a line, the phone will sometimes (not often) conference another line in and I get to speak to my customer on one line, and we both listen (at the same time) to a loud dial tone from another.
Final opinion: A hand crank phone is better (we have more than one of these phones, so these problems are consistent). After 6 months of ownership we used these phones for target practice and purchased GE phones. Now they make good phones!!

1 out of 5 stars Flat out....these phones suck!!!!.......2004-08-23

We purchased 3 of the AT&T 955 phones for a small business. After about a week, they all have had their quircky problems.

1. One of the handsets broke, luckily they actually sent me a new one.
2. Occassionally when you pick up line 1 line 3 lights up (seems to be a common problem).
3. The lines "hum" periodically. After contacting the trouble shooting desk, they recommend I get the jack replaced,well, it still does it.
4. They do not work well with cordless phones, the lines do not release, unless you do it manually.

I am in the process of returning these and getting something else, they ARE NOT DEPENDABLE.

1 out of 5 stars Horrible!!.......2004-07-10

Guys, I've owned this phone now for one year and let me tell you that this phone has constant problems. Sometimes when I press the number one line, both the number one line and the number three line will light up!! That's right, two lines come on at the same time!! I regret the day I bought this thing.

4 out of 5 stars They work well but are not perfect.......2004-06-22

I have 2 AT&T 955 telephones and 6 AT&T 944 phones in a 2 story house. I purchased some new and some used from various sources in 2002. We had to return one phone when it was new, but all the others worked. We like several of the features *very* much (paging, especially) and wouldn't consider switching to other phones at this time but we've definitely had our share of problems. Two handsets which originally worked no longer work (and it's not the handset). We put them in rooms where the phone isn't used often and just use the speakerphone. We also have 1 phone where the display gets garbled. If you briefly unplug it from power, the display corrects itself but messes up again after several incoming calls. When you page a phone, it automatically uses the speakerphone. My son's phone recently started humming until he picks up the handset. Until he does, I can't hear him, but he can hear me. We have almost double the length of phone wiring that these phones are supposed to support so we're pleased the system works as well as it does despite the handset and display problems we've experienced with multiple phones.

1 out of 5 stars ATT 964 AND ATT 955.......2004-05-10

We bought 2 phones for our home office on march 23. 2004. The 2 phones have been returned 7 times. Today, we will get full credit from Staples for the phones:

Problems 964: Bad handset . New unit actually was a repakaged unit in the box with a factory seal. Caller ID failed. Did not record calls. Had to reset numerous times. Got a replacement unit. This was a new factory sealed unit.

Seemed to work fine. tried to use the conference feature tieing 2 lines together. Put a loud hum in the lines so no one could talk or hear.

Problems 955 Seemed to work fine out of box. After 1 week. the speakerphone failed. Everytime used, had a loudfeedback noise into the line in use. Replaced phone. New phone had caller ID failures.

( When I was at the store doing a swap, ran into another customer who was also having problems. These phone are pure garbage. For an analog multiline phone, these are the
WORST I have ever owned..
Replaced with used Nortel Venture 3 line phones. Work great..

AT&T needs to take their name of this equipment. It is made by American Advanced Telephones..
