Volume available through both handset and speaker is individually adjustable and can be made very loud on the highest settings. 60 minutes is still the target amount for manufacturers in my opinion -- the problem is that like most answering machines, this one will stop taking messages once the memory is full -- and a busy business day or some political robocalls can fill things up pretty fast and shut the system down. Good human interface -- big buttons, readable and backlit display, clealy labled control buttons -- you do still need to look at the manual just a bit to see how the menu and control system is set up but it's about as simple as it can be made, IMO. Overall I give this phone high marks for design, execution, and value, with durability being the unknown factor."
"My main complaint is the detachable plastic piece that is supposed to elevate the phone in the back so it is angled forward for easier reading."
"I love it."
"Great phone for a fraction of the price of other phones."
"It stuck out so far that you could see the whole back of the phone."
"Most everything else about the phone is typical, but it does add further functions to help those of us who are growing older: * A large keypad for easy dialing. * A four-setting equalizer function to tweak sound. * "Audio Assist" to temporarily boost receiver volume. * Relatively intuitive functions that can be set up easily. That said, one of the failings of this phone is that--for all its audio-altering capabilities--it does not have a rich sound compared to a cheaper AT&T phone I used to own. This seems odd given this phone's equalizer and Audio Assist functions, but the duller sound quality is obvious in comparison."

"Conversing with my daughters had become a sad affair , and it was no fun knowing I frustrated those trying to communicate with me , which includes doctor offices, friends, and family . I have struggled to get correct information for a long time because one distorted syllable can alter the content of a message and cause a multitude of problems. It appears my life will be simplified by using this and not asking other people to speak louder or spell the word I can not hear ."
"The Captioning Person typed out my Credit Card Number. The Support Person told me that the Captioning Service are told to respect our Privacy and they are monitored? I DON'T KNOW if the Captioning Service keeps records of their captioning calls."
"This phone is great!"
"It helps me talk to my grandma who is has lost most of her hearing."
"worked great, easy set up."
"My mom loves it."
"My 89 year old mother just loves it!"

And the most important feature in a world of unwanted, unsolicited and mostly unstoppable robo calls is the BLOCK CALLS feature of this phone system. Luckily this phone system allows you to block up to 250 different phone numbers."
"This was a powerhouse of a cordless phone system complete with a nice color screen and flashing antenna when calls and voicemail arrived. Thirdly, reading the Amazon reviews from actual owners, I got the idea that this would be sort of a downgrade to all the "bells and whistles" that Panasonic had put into their older phones. I am so happy that I took a leap of faith and ordered the KX-TG7875S. Been using it for a week now, and I must say, I love it more than my previous phone system. That being said, I was a bit fearful of all the menu codes mentioned in the manual that gave a person quick access to primary functions. Play around with it a little, and you'll find that you can easily access any function of the phone within seconds from the navigation screen. The base unit has a built-in answering machine, but I turned it off since I subscribe to voice mail service. The base station is located on a top floor, at the opposite end of a large home. Even caller ID from the cell phone is forwarded to the Panasonic display screen. Call quality is very good, but of course, dependent upon how strong your cell phone signal is. I have dead spots in my home so the quality of the calls from my cell phone vary. What I really love is when someone sends a text message to my iPhone and I get a notification on my Panasonic phone. It's really cool to hear the Panasonic phone ring and a voice say "Text Message." So, essentially, the Panasonic TG7875S allows you leave your cell phone in its charger and completely forget about it when you are home."
"I read where someone had this phone's "CALL BLOCKING" feature but said that it first had to ring to block a call. I found after reading the instructions, that you could program the phone to not sound on the first ring, therefore any callers that are blocked will not go through. You can program the blocked callers or after you get an annoying call, you just set it up to block in the future."

As always, there will be issues that reviewers mention and I thought it was odd that Panasonic provided the rechargeable batteries for the cordless handsets but did not provide the same rechargeable batteries for the power outage backup system on the corded phone. Nonetheless, that being a minor inconvenience to have to provide for yourself, this is a great phone system and I highly recommend it to you."
"Excellent - no problems."
"The phone rang and I immediately began to dry my hands to work my way to the phone, when it announced the number and I knew it was a crap call, went back to work."
"She was having problems answering the phones she had, because she never could figure out which button to push. If mom is in a room away from the corded phone and our call goes to the answering machine, our voices come over ALL handsets and we can "remind" her to go to the corded phone or direct her to the correct button to push on the cordless phones."
"I bought this phone 3 months ago and the handset developed some corrosion from the battery."
"Needed the extra handset in another room so in all this was a very good buy."
"I also needed the feature that lets me put "greeting only" on the answering machine when we are out of town and no messages are recorded."
"One of the chargers does not work, I have contacted Panasonic five (5) time and have two (2) case contact number messages from them that they will get back to me as soon as someone checks out my claim I sent them copies of my payment to amazon after sending them a copy of my order which they asked for first."
