Home phone systems... should I get the Panasonic?
We want to get a home phone system so we can easily intercom each other... anyone have any experience with two-line, intercom, home systems!? We need around eight phones.... we're looking at these Panasonic ones that seems like a good deal at $100 a pop.

(Page 1 of 1)2. Hey Jason.
You want the TMC system. Just like the panasonic, only more expandable, you can get cool modules for it like (music on hold) and you can get adapters so you can use cordless phones with it. I just ripped out an expensive Panasonic system and installed these.

3. I don't know anything about the Panasonic phone, but I have used the AT&T 955 phones at home for years and they work really well. I think they have been replaced by the 974 model. http://www.hellodirect.com/hellodirect/Shop?DSP=30102&PCR=1:1:5:25:240:2060&IID=12030&itemskuid=12030

5. I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/Uniden-TRU8866-Expandable-Cordless-Speakerphone/dp/B0002EZUYK
Costco usually has them too.

6. Another vote for the Uniden. I bought it a few years back after doing some research - I've heard poor things about the Panasonic.

8. As far as a home phone system, you should get a PBX phone system at http://www.1-satellite-tv-facts.com/Phone-Systems.html
