The problems with the Black Panasonic Phone (and others) is a VERY common
issue. They don't work with Self Installed Filters (I had a telecom splitter
at my old house and the phone worked 100% and the filter at my new house and
it was very quiet)

All other phones I tried (about 10 of them) worked 100% with the filters..

I emailed Panasonic 5 times regarding this problem, but they never
acknowledged my email at all about the problem. Maybe a known fault they
don't want to address. (CGA issue)?

Anyone have any contacts with Panasonic I can contact about this problem?

Thanks
Craig
