Customer Review: To be clear, there is no bluetooth in extention units.
Summary: 3 Stars
I just wanted to note that some of the reviews here were probably misfiled by Amazon. This is only an extension handset. There is no bluetooth on these extension handsets. Bluetooth is only in the base. I bought 2 of these so I can confirm it for sure. I recently received a question about that and came here to clear it up.
To clear up any other confusion, this is a DECT 6.0 plus handset that is NOT backwards compatible. DECT 6.0 plus, I assumed would be backwards compatible, but its not. I cannot, for example, pair these with Ooma. That goes the reverse as well, an Ooma handset will not pair with the DECT 6.0 plus base. You can check out my review of the base for other handsets I tried to pair with the base and failed.
To their credit on this issue, Panasonic support is really fast and definitive. Too many support centers just push back your email with canned responses and you go back and forth with someone you think must be a simpleton or simply not reading your email. Not Panasonic. When I asked Panasonic support about this they gave me a definitive "no" its not backwards compatible. Panasonic gets 2 stars for that alone, I really commend them on that.
The extension handset itself gets 1 star. First of all, why release a new DECT system that breaks compatibility? DECT was created to be an interoperable system, this closes it for no good reason.
Second, the range on these handsets is terrible. As I posted in my review of the base: "I live in one of those super secure luxury condos. Earthquake proof, sound proof, etc. So the walls are solid, not drywall. The range of this thing is, maybe, a 50 foot radius and it doesn't reach my second floor. I just bought 2 extenders hopping it will fix this gap, but really? The range can't fill a condo? My last Vtech system I hated, but at least the range filled my home!"
I suspect DECT 6.0 plus has less range than older technologies. If so, another strike against this closed technology.
I also find the handsets to look far better in pictures than in person. Frankly, I find them unattractive and kind of low-end looking. However, that is a very subjective opinion. So you should ignore it if "looks" are low on your list of shopping features.
Reviews for this extension handset are meaningless though as, lets face it, if you have a DECT 6.0 plus base you have no choice but to buy this. Ah ha! So that is why they took an open standard and closed it. :(
