Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned many cordless phones ever since the 1st 46/49 Mhz phones came to market.I've owned Vtec's, Uniden's etc.
After hours of research, I bought this 2 line Panasonic.I've had it for about one year now, so I can give you areview based upon a good period of time owning it.
Here's the very basic reasonwhy I selected this model:
1- Two lines
2-Expandable
3-5.8 gig frequency so it doesn't interfere with 2.4 gig device in my home.
Here's why it's the best cordless I've ever owned.
1- I could test it out for awhile before adding/investing in addtional handsets.
2- It fits in your hand like a normal phone.Many of the new cordless phones are getting so high tech looking and sleek that they are either hard or uncomfortable to hold.The Panasonic handset is the most comfortable on the market.Ever try cradling a cell phone or too small cordless between you neck and shoulder for a moment while you pick something up from the floor?Not easy, unless of course it's this phone.
3- The part of the phone that touches your ear is designed properly.Many of they newer competitors phones are convex at the earpiece instead of concave.Very uncomfortable...Panasonic...Perfect!!
4-Big LCD display.No need to squint to see this one.
5-Normal sized and properly spaced keypad buttons that are raised.You won't make an accidental dialing mistake with this phone and you won't feel like you need a pen to dial it.
6-You can set the volume of the phone to retain the setting you like.On many of the competitions phones, you may have to adjust the vol. to where you like it, every time you pick it up.
7-Great, very CLEAR sounding speakerphone built into each handset. Very useful when holding for i.e. a customer service dept.
8- Natural sounding on receive side.Good volume and sound reported by people I'm talking to. (Many competitors phones I've tried have low receive and/or transmit volume).On this one, no one has ever asked me, "Are you on the cordless"
9-Very rare that I ever get a broken or choppy signal.It's solid.It even works 100% around my yard/outside.
9-Good battery life/runtime.
10-Loaded with features.Like the fact that if something went wrong or one phone broke, my directory is still in other handset I have if I selected to download them initially to other phones.
11- Durable!!We have dropped this phone from about 3+ feet many times and it has not broken yet.
What needs improvement:
1- Missed call indication is almost useless.To clear it you MUST scroll through Caller ID past the missed call to clear it.Not a big deal...just useless.
2- (On the built in Voicemail)I can't save messages "as new" once I've listended to them.Problem if my wife is not home; then I see the message light blinking, I press it to listen to message.Of course the message turns out to be for my wife.But, now that I've listened to it, the message lamp is extinguished...Wife returns and has no idea there is a message for her.I have to leave her a note telling her to manually listen to "saved messages".
3- No battery backup.This was one feature I liked in some of the older VTEC phones.In a power failure, the battery backup let you continue to use your cordless phones.I don't think Panasonic or any other manufac. has a cordless 2 line with Battery backup.
So if you are looking for a great cordless 2 line... This is the one!!Almost perfect, but a definate against the competition.

Product Description:
The Panasonic KX-TGA650B handset is a supplemental accessory for Panasonic's KX-TG6500B-series phone systems (required, sold separately). Operating on the same 5.8 GHz frequency and with the same digital spread spectrum signal technology as the base system, this handset supplies the clear, consistent connection you rely on every day, with features to spare.
Access to the 50-station phonebook and caller ID/call waiting (with subscription to local service) is provided via the menu-driven three-line backlit LCD. A light-up antenna visually alerts you to new calls and messages, and you can even check your answering machine's messages from the handset.
The handset includes a belt clip and a phone jack for a headset (sold separately) for hands-free conversation, and a locator sound lets you track down the handset even when it's buried in the couch cushions. The vertical design of the charging cradle makes this a perfect addition for bedside tables or small kitchen counters--wherever space is at a premium. Panasonic includes a one-year warranty covering parts and service.
