[Amazon.ca] Amazon -Panasonic coredless 4-Handset Landline Telephone $123.99

Not that I am one of the few people that still uses a landline, but aren't there similar Panasonic sets at Costco for roughly half the price?

Upvote for the irony that you had to explain it was a landline phone! First time my kids saw one was in a museum in Alberta....... They still complain when calls don't have video.

Could you please post them? Gift for my daugher. thanks

Lots of great deals on these cordless landline phones in the used market, demand for these things is dropping like a rock. The phone set in the OP has mixed reviews on Amazon, people say there is poor handset range and audio quality.

I have one of these and can't even give them away.

Welcome to 2002

I think it's $139.99 in-store.
No time machine, I picked up this set a couple years ago for $99 on sale.

I did not say they were on the website (nor did I look before I posted), but I'm fairly certain they have 2 or 3 different sets on the shelf whereas the website only has 1 set.

HERE is an expired 3-piece set for $60 from this past September.

The 5 set Panasonic at Costco has been $100 online, I picked a set up back then.

Resurrecting this thread.

The KX-TG175C are on sale now for $99.99 and I used my $20 off $100 newsletter subscription to bring it down to $90 all in.

The base station is much nicer.

As far as landline, I still want a central home number so I went with Zoomer Home Phone where you plug a landline handset into their cellular modem. So I keep my original landline number.

I pay $10 a month as long as you have a cell phone plan with them

In 2021, these really only make sense for remote / rural areas where you cannot get a reliable cell signal. Of course there is also the $30+ a month cost for the landline to use it.

I have used Panasonic cordless phones for years. They are cheap, and the voice quality is pretty good, but I have found that I have to replace them every couple of years because the base chargers burn out. On my latest set I just pull the batteries out and use a separate charger.

I have kids. My kids always have their cell phones on silent. If I need to call home this rings and they answer it. Weird how that works. Also, I like to have this kicking around for emergencies, etc. I only pay Ooma $5 month for their service so it's no biggy fee wise.

quoting myself

This is great if you like Zoomer and intend to stay with them. I moved off landline and ported here to keep my home phone number. Then I have my Panasonic cordless plugged into it.

Don't know why anyone would pay more than $60 for something like the OP. I got a free set of 3 like that in mint condition, including the rechargeable AAA batteries. Often I see them listed in BST for $20-$30 in great condition.

We're now deciding what a product should cost base on someone's use? haha....like buying a premium cellphone at $1500 makes sense. This may not be for all especially if you're in an apartment or condo but if you own a house .....it makes sense. I don't carry my cell phone throughout the house and have these conveniently spread throughout the house.

I bought the Panasonic phone at Costco and use the LinktoCell feature which basically links your cell phone to the Panasonic phone base using Bluetooth, so you can basically make calls and pick up from any handsets in the house. Got it for my parents when I disconnected their landline phone that Bell was charging $40 with no features and got them on Zoomer $36 plan so they could have at lease 4GB internet and Canada wide calls. The long distance rates on Bell were stupid expensive - they charge a long distance connection fee and then by the minute!

B(H)ell has been ripping off customers with their Landline Long Distance charges for Decades.
I don't know why people still use Bell Landline Long Distance when there are other options available (VOIP, Ooma, Zoomer Home Phone, Koodo Home Phone, etc).

I have had mine -3 phone set + answering machine going for MANY years. I have had to buy new batteries. Also no screen display problems. My daughter has had hers (different model than mine) for many years. She has some screen display problems on 2 out of 3 phones.

Thanks op
