Panasonic KX-TSC7W Corded Phone with Caller ID

Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Panasonic's KX-TSC7 Corded Phone with Caller ID is an ideal phone for those who just need a simple phone and want to know who's calling. It doesn't have a lot of advanced features, but its sensible design makes it easy to use and keeps the cost down.

The KX-TSC7 has small touches that make it a great overall telephone. The LCD screen has adjustable contrast settings, and it can be configured to show either Spanish or English text. It also has a call timer, convenient for business users or people using prepaid calling cards. The LCD shows three lines at a time, so the caller's name and number can be displayed at the same time, and the phone supports caller ID/call waiting (also called visual call waiting), so you can see who's trying to reach you while you're talking to someone else. Voice-mail subscribers will appreciate the phone's ability to intercept signals from your voice mailbox and flash an alert to let you know that new messages are waiting.

When contacts call, it's easy to move their number from the caller-ID memory to a virtual address book. You can store up to 50 numbers in the phone, which you can later dial at the touch of a button. The phone's voice quality is great, helped by the fact that the handset has six volume settings instead of the usual three. The ringer on the base also has two volume settings, not including an off position.

For people with voice mail and caller ID who are looking for the voice quality of a corded phone but don't want to spend a lot of money, the KX-TSC7 is an excellent choice. --T. Byrl Baker

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Broken as Designed..........2004-09-03

I got this phone and promptly returned it. The problem was that the
Caller ID didn't work when I called in on my Verizon cell phone. I
know for a fact that the Caller ID is coming through, since I see it
on other phones (including other Panasonic phones!), but this one just
says OUT OF AREA. Broken as designed. I ended up getting an AT&T
Model 858. It's a shame there are so few options in traditional
corded phones that keep up on the newer features. I was loyal to
Panasonic for a long time but not anymore.

1 out of 5 stars Not a Good Choice.......2004-07-30

I bought this phone for the caller ID feature. The display can only be read if you look at it just right and the caller ID stopped working after about 3 months.
Poor design. Poor quality.

1 out of 5 stars Broken-Right out of the Box.......2004-03-13

I was really looking forward to this phone. I needed a caller ID phone that didn't use an AC outlet. There aren't many out there. I respected the Panasonic name but what I got was awful. First, I hung it on the wall but I couldn't read the display while I was standing next to it. I had to stoop down to about 5 feet above the floor to read the display. To program the phone I had to get a chair and sit in it to perform the program. That's when the big problem was discovered.

The LCD is about three lines tall. But only half of the middle line was "lighting" up. The LCD was busted! I waited a week for this? So far the Amazon return process has been friendly, but I dread looking for another phone.

Other drawbacks: no short cable for wall mounting, no free AA batteries.

2 out of 5 stars Disapponted.......2003-05-03

I really like panasonic phones in general - I have 2 cordless phones & an answering machine which are panasonic. When I went looking for a corded phone with caller id, I was excited to find this one - the size and design were exactly what I was looking for. However, the display is difficult to read unless you're standing above it and the caller id feature is lacking. Specifically, I found that I cannot recognize cell phone numbers - it displays them as "out of area" with no number attached to them. By contrast, my other panasonic cordless phone displays "out of area" AND the phone number for cell phones. This is important because I like to distinguish between telemarkets and my friends with cell phones. With this phone, I can't.

3 out of 5 stars It's okay.......2002-12-28

I sent this to someone as a gift so they could be able to communicate during the many power outages in their city. Cordless phones are worthless during a time like that. They like it okay. I dont regret buying it because I like the Panasonic name. I'd buy one for myself if my husband hadn't bought a different phone. At this point i am just chit chatting. I apologize for not being more helpful. I wont do this type of review again...promise.
