Panasonic Integrated Business Phone (KX-TS105B) Review

This is a good basic phone. If you need a phone to have on hand for when the power goes out, you can count on this one.

The real reason I purchased this phone was because of the name (I'm a huge Panasonic fan when it comes to phones -- I rarely buy anything else), and because of the price (cheap) and the headset jack. I purchased this to replace the old phone in the sound room at church. When people are ill but would like to get patched through to hear the services over the phone (those without internet) I thought it would be nice to see if we could patch the signal straight into this phone and over the lines through the headset jack.

I record audio presentations for work all the time -- using some more expensive Panasonic wireless phones with headset jacks, so I thought this would be similar. Unfortunately, nothing I've plugged into that phone headset jack (other than a real headset) seems to work. I'm not sure why, especially since the other Panasonic phones I have work with my existing setup... but I'll keep looking.

So, while using the headset jack (which was a deciding factor on the purchase of this unit) was a total bust, the phone itself is really great and delivers on everything else promised.
