If you have DSL, the filters you have to put on your phones might be the culprit. In that case, call your DSL provider.

I have purchased 6 of these for my office. One broke, and one had static, I replaced both and new worked fine. However, this is a cheap phone so I think the quality is not the best. If you have fax, answer machine or computer on same line, ask at Radio Shack about a filter.Shannon

I use mine for my business and I don't have that problem. It maybe the phone lines or you've got a bad phone. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

Exchange it -- or call your telephone provider -- no problem with the 10 that I purchased and gave as Christmas gifts -- you probably have bad wiring from the phone to the telco. Try, first, changing out the simplistic (2-wire) rj-11 cable from the phone to the jack. If you can, and you have traditional telephony service, take the phone directly to your dmarc and try there.

I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to adjust the volume on the base station or handset beyond the up/down on the handset that tops out at LVL5, which isn't loud enough. what the heck!?

There is not a problem hearing the caller, I use the base, handset and speaker phone in addition to the portable, handset and speaker phone and insert an earpiece in it sometimes. All are clear and loud, they all have a volume control which I normally use at a 3 (out of 5) level

I've had my phone for 8 months and haven't had a dropped call yet (not that I use it terribly often, but certainly more than 16 times ...), and although the ringing tone is very quiet I have never had trouble with volume or quality of voice. Sounds like you either don't have good coverage where you are or you got a bad phone - have you tried a different phone under the same circumstances?

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I've had my previous phone for going on 6 years now actually, and all calls were placed from my house, where I've made countless calls without a single instance of a dropped call before this new phone. Perhaps I did get a lemon. I'll look into exchanging it (unwisely I purchased it elsewhere). I'm back to using my ancient phone in the meantime. :) Thanks again for the feedback!

I have the same problem. Humming that goes away on mute. I'm plugged into a DSL filter. No cell phone nearby. It's getting so that I don't want to use the phone. I'm looking for a different one to buy. Any suggestions on a telephone headset that doesn't make so much noise?

We've never tried to use silent mode. Do you have call blocking? We don't, so I wouldn't expect it to work.

I have the same issue with my HTC One M8 but then I realized that it has to do with the WiFi. I turned it off and it sounded clear afterwards. Try that out.

That all may depend on what kind of phone you have??? All I had to do was plug it in. I didn't hear anything until I turned the handset on and had a dial tone. Ck and make sure the plug is all the way in. Make a call and plug it in while you have a call going and see if you can hear then. Otherwise you may have to call Panasonic help line. There wasn't any real instructions with it so....hope you can figure it out...

mmm I never have had this problem...maybe can you turn off the phone take out the battery and the sim card and put all in their places again and turn on, if this not work you can check in the setup options the volume in your cell phone... I dont have other ideas..sorry!

I bought this phone about 9 months back and since the last couple of days, I am having the same problem. When I call over skype, the ring goes through, but when the other person picks the phone, there is no sound from either side.

I haven't had this problem either. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure that the landline is hung up and not on speaker when using the headset.

Hi!At first the reception was pretty bad. Not sure if it was the area I'm in or the phone, but it did get much better. Under the settings there is a sound mode that can be adjusted. You can give the phone a try and if it doesn't work, there should be a money-back guarantee time frame so you can return the device. Hope this helps.

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?

When i bought the phone i noticed i have to make calls on speaker.. phone does not allow me to hear people unless its on speaker

Hmmm-try another phone on the cradle or plug in w/cord to audio to see if it works on that option.If no response-my best guess is death.

I had the exact same issue. I got other handsets and they work just fine. Ooma handsets are horrible.
