Probably would have worked well with other phone service. We ended up returning the product. Very nice phone with lots of fetures. We had trouble using the phone with our T-mobile home phone service.
An answering machine connected to that port (as shown in the manual) will only take calls on line 2. Phone switches to line 1, disconnects both callers on line 2.Phone w/caller ID does not flash indicating that a call came thru.Like the other reviews I've read, the number of speed dial buttons is only 3. This is the first Panasonic product I ever considered a bad design. Almost useless.Panasonic help will give you the wrong part number for a workaround line splitter adapter from Radio Shack but, will not send one to you.Talk on line 2, get a call waiting, switch hook (like every other phone in the universe) to take caller #2. Not very useful.The few nice features it has are overshadowed by the shortcomings and not worth the money. Forget the display. Without Hubble eyes, perfect lighting and angle you wont see squat.Line2/data only sends data from Line2 of L1/L2 jack.
( I needed more extensions). it took me a while to find them again. It's really the best 2 line phone with intercom and caller ID. I bought them 15 years ago for the first time, and they still work as new.
I was able to add it to the intercom system as the next number. I plugged it in to the phone lines & it found our old panasonic phones.
Instead, it just displays "Mute" on the LCD. 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). Panasonic is one of the few companies today making a 2-line corded phone with a decent speaker phone. 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. I bought GE, RCA, and AT&T models, but wound up returning them all to my local Staples, OfficeMax, and Circuit City stores. 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. 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).
