I have couple of Panasonic KX-DT521 phones that are not working. Can I simply find new phones online somewhere, plug them in and they should work or is there any programming that needs to take place?

The Panasonic KX-DT521 phones may not work immediately when plugged into a KX-TDA100D system. According to the context, a user experienced an issue where the phone displayed only zeros and could not be registered or accessed for settings. This suggests that additional configuration or compatibility checks, such as ensuring the DLC card firmware version is correct, may be required for proper operation.
