How well does this work as a speaker phone?

There is no volume adjustment on the speaker, so this solely depends on your phone. It is pretty sufficient to in indoor environment or you can put it in the car with windows closed.

Yep, it has a mic and is great as a speakerphone . I've had no complaints on how I sound to others.

Base unit hands-free speaker works reasonably well with tolerable sound quality. I don't use the base unit hands-free much but it's as least as good as some of the more expensive office-type units I've used. The mobile unit's hands-free works quite well and I use it in this mode often.

Yes, this phone has an outstanding speaker phone. I use it constantly, and everyone's say's that its sounds very clear on their end.

Although my hearing is going bad, it is not that bad. The volume is adjustable and you should be able to make it loud enough on the handset, in my opinion. We occasionally use the speakerphone feature and also find that to be very loud, but adjustable.

Yes the phones I have work well as independent speaker phones. When this system works, it's great, but Panasonic has issues. Their customer service is non existent. I have a problem with a charger base that didn't work and repeated efforts to sort it out with them have gone no where in a hurry. It will be a long time before I buy anything from them again.dg

I have a apple 4s and it works great. I have not used the speakerphone feature.

The speaker phone is pretty good, sounds clear and the mic is sensitive enough. The interface with android is also good; you can switch to phone if you don't want the conversation public, then it'll go right back to the music when you hang up.

I haven't tried to use the speaker as a speaker phone, so I'm not sure. You'd probably be able to hear your caller through the speaker, but that's about it. It doesn't have a microphone port (at least I haven't seen one), so I doubt you'll be able to have a two way conversation using the speaker. I'll have to check to make sure though, I'll update you if I find out more. Thanks for your question.

Yes. However my elderly mother has found it difficult to use. None of us can figure out how to use speaker phone, something she really needs

The speaker phone is in the handset. This is a good phone for hearing-it cups your ear a bit so it doesn't pick up much background noise.

the speaker part of the phone is great... i have it hanging on my wall in kitchen, put on speaker phone and talk while washing dishes or cooking. we are about 10 feet from phone and it is clear as a bell and they can hear us just fine. this is great phone...i love it!

I'm not sure I would be comfortable making business calls with this device.. It seemed kind of raspy when I was using it. The speaker would definitely be loud, however; the quality wasn't that I would use for an important business call. I used it on the beach, and near the pool.. Fit it's purpose, but not for much else. Hope this helps!

It does work as a phone... It is not ideal, but you can hear them and if you tourn off your water they can hear you pretty we'll. with water on, it is a little tricky... Not that clear on their end.

The speaker will ring when receiving calls, it has its own ringer and will not duplicate your ringtone. I have only ever answered the call using my phone and not attempting (or researching) the ability with the buttons on the speaker. The audio quality was good and the other person was able to hear me without issue.

In my experience with it, it has only worked as a mic. It allows you to answer and hang up calls.Hope this helps!
