Always Know Who's Calling
The KX-TS620W is call waiting caller ID compatible (requires a subscription) and requires no batteries to operate. A three-line LCD screen provides access to the name and number of the person calling, along with the date and time of their call. You can scroll through the list of the 20 most recent calls, and redial any of them with the touch of a button.
Record Messages and Memos
A digital answering system is included, which offers up to 15 minutes of tapeless recording space. Each message receives a time/date stamp, and a simple series of buttons allows you to skip, delete or save each message. You can record memos to other household members as well.
Hands-free Operation
A headset jack is located on the base, and can accommodate a standard 2.5 mm headset (available separately); a speakerphone is also located on the base, supplying you with hands-free operation. A redial button lets you quickly dial the last outgoing number, while the flash button provides access to call waiting. Handset and ringer volume controls allow you to adjust levels to your liking.

Glad I got it... (Rating: 4 out of 5) What I needed was a corded phone with which I could also use a headset. I bought the recommended Panasonic KX-TCA60 headset at the same time and they have worked perfectly together. I have a desk lamp, so the non-backlit readout is no problem for me. The keypad has a great feel and is easy to use. I find that I have had to keep the user's manual handy in order to use several of the phone's functions, which means that the layout is not totally intuitive in terms of programming the phonebook, etc. But I think overall this phone is a good machine at a decent price. I'm glad I got it.
Not what I expected (Rating: 2 out of 5) I purchaed this phone becasue I work from home, and use a headset that I wanted to plug into a corded phone, directly. I am currently using a headset/handset switch from Radio Shack to convert my current corded phone that does not have a jack built in, to accomodate a headset. While it works well, I wanted eliminate the "middle man" so to speak.
The Panasonic TS620B is a good basic phone, but the battery only feature was an issue, as well as the fact that the display has no back light. The voice volume was also terribly loud and could not be controlled. The most disappointing thing, however, was the fact that when using the headset, you must return the handset to the cradle, but also press the headset button, or the dialtone will stay "open", even after the handset is back in place. In addition, I noticed that after the handset was returned, AND the headset button was pressed to disconnect, after about a three second delay, the phone would reconnect on it's own and a dialtone would be present for about 5 seconds and then shut off. I noticed this because I usually do not remove my headset between calls while I am making notations. Also, you cannot switch from the headset to the handset if you need to, mid-call. My Radio Shack unit has a nifty switch that lets you flip from one to the other. So I'm staying with my existing phone, and keeping the "middle man".
Panasonic phone (Rating: 5 out of 5) I just realized I ordered black, but got white...not that it made that much difference, but black would have been nice on my desk. As for the phone, I like the features, which are easy to operate. I purchased caller ID, which really comes in handy on a business phone. Keeps track for me, and I can add them to the phonebook. I have a hard time hearing on most phones, and found this one to have good sound quality.I can hear better than most. Sometimes the volume is actually too loud for me. Like the speaker phone and mute feature...good for call in meetings. Good phone for work at home (WAH) business, telecommuter, or someone who just needs a land line without the wireless feature. Perfect for me. Have recommended it to fellow WAH staff.
PANASONIC KX-TS620B (Rating: 4 out of 5) While reviewing multiple phones, I saw the pluses and shortcomings on numberous models. Everything I've read on this model is true, but it serves my purpose for a home phone. I simply purchased a small light to see who is calling me late in the evening to address the most addressed issue in the reviews.
A corded phone with a brain: (Rating: 4 out of 5) Thought I would say that people now are turning more to corded phones as they are spending more and more time per phone call dealing with recalcitrant and incompetent billing and service agencies, and running out of battery power on their cordless phones. Well, this is the perfect answer; and speaking of answers, this phone is also an answering machine, so you won't miss that message from mom, or your brother asking for money. And it's a Panasonic, so you know the company won't be out of business next month when you need tech help or warranty service. All in all, a good choice. And the price is reasonable for a premium quality phone. You won't be disapppointed here. Thumbs up...
