I have this same problem. Does anyone have a solution? It only happens with the Panasonic

I have this same problem. Basically, the microphone on this phone doesn't pick up my voice well enough and the person on the other end has to keep saying "what?". I am returning the phone. I tried 2 different ones and both were the same. Otherwise, I loved the phone. I also tried this side by side with other cordless phones and the difference is significant. Panasonic tech support could not help fix the problem.

Sadly, this is a common issue. Myself and others have purchased a blue tooth to ensure the other party can hear. When you use a Bluetooth that problem is solved. Sadly, the barriers that are supposed to prevent water from entering seem to prevent people from hearing each other as well. Deems the phone useless for most! Good Luck.

I think its loud but I am not hard of hearing, I actually have it on medium, so I would think it is ok. You can always return phone if it doesn't work. The reason I wanted it was 4 AT&T; phones I tried the speaker did not work right. It works great on this phone.

in my experience, there is nothing in the settings of the phone that would cause this. first off, i would recommend making sure that all film from the packaging have been removed to make sure nothing is covering the microphone. if that is not the issue and you have tried calling several phones and none can hear you on the other end, then it would be more likely a problem with the microphone itself. hardware is more likely than software for the culprit here.

I have found it only uses a Robtic voice and not a good one at that. ( unless I missed something in the Set up,but I do not think so) A plus side tho is the sound is so much better then the last phones I had.

It is kind of weird. you have to push the up and down arrow on the menu keys to adjust the volume and can only be done when in a call. I bought this for my dad and he was wondering the same thing. There might be another way around it but I haven't seen one.

My husband has this phone with an otterbox, and I always hear myself echo when I talk to him, but not with anyone else. It must be the phone, not the case.

I don't know about callers hearing me in a noisy environment but I can't hear them in a noisy environment. The volume on this headset doesn't go up very high.

I have the opposite. It's too quiet for my Panasonic phone. Haha. In my experience if it's staticky, then the male end is either turning or the jack is getting worn. I have my wire taped onto the side of my phone so it doesn't move. Tacky? Yes. Helpful? Yes. I figure it's the lesser of 2 evils. I'd rather deal with audio issues than hold the phone to my ear for an hour. It's annoying I know, but that's how I got it to work. Wish my audio was too loud. Did you try and lower the handset volume on your phone? Usually there is a disc to press downwards or a side volume button?

I've found the call quallity to be very poor as the microphone pics up all background noises. Callers complain of not being able to hear you speak unless you're almost shouting. I almost always switch to the phone when a call comes in.

There is a menu option called Call Sharing. Turn it off to keep other phones from hearing/joining in. It comes turned ON, so if you want all your calls to be private, turn it OFF.

I actually have noticed this as the caller on the other end, and then some other times I don't hear the echo as the caller. I am not sure as to why it happens.. maybe they have both cordless phones on and near each other? Next time I call and I hear the echo I will ask if they have more than one phone on.

I don't think I can answer that seeing that I am still having issues with people hearing me.The sound is great but as for the phone itself, I am discovering other issues than the sound.

Having the same problem with our phone. Caller can hear us but we can not hear them. Not happy with the phone.

Yes, you can. 2 things I do not like about the phone, otherwise it is GREAT!. sometimes, I get told my speech is garbled. (I use it with Vonage). The speaker on the phone is fine for listening, but sucks for 2 way conversation.

I was disappointed in the quality of sound on both incoming and outgoing calls...and when I would use the cover I was always hitting buttons with my cheek on accident...I have since taken it off and am not using it.:(

Have someone call you, and as it's ringing, adjust the volume button on the side. Make sure the phone is ringing while you adjust it.
