Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Panasonic KX-TS105W Corded Phone, White
Customer Review: Great phone, lots of features, wall-mountable (but..)
Summary: 4 Stars
Dial Lock:
I didn't see this mentioned anywhere on the Amazon site, and it could be important to some folks, so before I get into other features -- this phone includes a dial lock that prevents anyone from dialing out except to one number (911 or another number of your choice) programmed into the "Emergency" button memory. Incoming calls are still received in this mode.
Sound quality and speakerphone:
The sound quality is great, through the handset, speakerphone, and headset (I have a Panasonic headset). The speakerphone has volume control, which is nice. You can dial out using the speakerphone, but to do so, you need to have the batteries (see below) installed. You can use the phone without them, but then you have to pick up the receiver in order to activate the speakerphone. Once you do, you can hang up and dial with the handset in place.
Wall Mounting:
This phone is wall mountable, but it sticks out from the wall more than I like -- about 3 1/2 inches NOT including the handset. With the handset hung up, it's about 5 inches. The phone itself has a slim profile, but the bracket that enables you to mount it on the wall makes it stick out, and when the phone is mounted on the wall, the bracket is very noticeable (at least with the white model -- the bracket is dark gray). The bracket goes on the phone easily, but NOTE that to mount it on the wall, you need a phone jack that has two large-headed screws (and my jack plate sticks out from the wall about a half inch, which doesn't help with the side view). The bracket has slots that fit over the screw heads and hold it nicely in place. You also have to flip the little hook just below the switch hook to be able to hang up the handset when the phone is mounted on the wall, but that's easy to do.
Batteries:
The phone uses 3 AA batteries for memory storage. (No AC adapter capability, but that's fine by me -- the last phone I had on the wall needed an AC adapter and I always hated the way the cord looked running from the plug up the wall to the phone). The compartment for the batteries is at the back of the phone, so you'll have to take it off the wall (and remove the bracket from the phone) to replace the batteries, but the bracket removes easily, as does the battery compartment cover (note that even tho it looks like it's in place when you first put the cover on, you need to push down a little more until it snaps into place). The manual says alkaline batteries should last 6 month (depending on usage). It also says you have one minute after removing the batteries to replace them before losing your stored numbers. I just tried it, and had plenty of time to spare.
Miscellaneous:
The handset phone cord is very short, but easily replaced. And there's a handy-dandy little nub at the top of the phone above the handset cradle that you can use to hang the handset on (without hanging up), if you want to go get a pencil or something while you're on a call, so you don't have to let the handset dangle if you don't have a shelf or table nearby.
Overall, I'd buy this phone again, and would recommend it to anyone who wants a basic, non-answering, corded speakerphone with volume and mute buttons (rare birds, these). Oh, and especially if you need the dial-lock feature!
