Vtech DS3111-2 DECT 6.0 2-Handset Cordless Phone With Caller ID & Speakerphone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is not review of the product but rather the seller: Action Packaged, Inc.If you are considering buying this item, be aware of the S&H.In this case it's $29.99 and it takes a couple of weeks.If this was FedEx or USPS overnight-OK, but that is not specified.Nor is there an option for shipping made clear.IMHO a reasonable S&H should be in the ballpark of $12.And that would be for USPS Priority Mail + handling fee.
May be a good product, but I wouldn't buy it from this seller.

Panasonic KX-TG5240M GigaRange Supreme 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before I start my review, let me point out that I've been using Panasonic phones for years, and I'm quite familiar with their phones. And every time buying a new phone, another feature is missing. So to date, I have so many features missing, I wish I could get back to my old phone from 8 years ago. And let me explain.
The TG-5240 Is replacing my TG-2257. I'm not crazy about the new hot orange color on the handsets LCD and keys. I would like blue better. Voice quality is clear and good. No problems so far. But the new missing feature is: on all my phones until now, whenever I playback a message and the handset is on the base, the caller ID shows while the message is playing. NO MORE! The handset just doesn't care I'm listening to my messages, it just shows me a freaking 'CHARGING...' message. So I have to figure out who is the voice talking on the message. I really miss that feature. (actually, according to the user manual, it supposed to work with the caller ID showing, but for some reason it's not working on my phone. I will contact Panasonic for that).
The talking caller ID is really weird. It reads the names very funny, and "out of the area" calls it always saying 'unavailable' and bla bla bla... I just hate it. Fortunately, you can turn it OFF (as I did). You can have this feature on or off independent on the base or the handset.
The recording in the answering machine has 2 modes. Standard, and Enhanced recording (for better sound quality), which reduces recording time in half (from 16 minutes to 8 minutes).
Another good feature (copied from cell phones) that if somebody is calling you and you don't want to pickup the phone, and you want to turn off the ringer now (for this call only), you could press the 'Off' button (which is as the 'end' key in a cell phone), and the ringer will turn off. The call will be transferred to the answering machine, of course.
There are many things more similar to cell phones in this phones. A few examples: A selection of many ringer tones with some musical ringers; When you come home you don't see any more on the handset LCD '5 new calls' or (like my previous TG-2257) 'new calls received', but you see '5 missed calls'.
A new feature on this phone, that on the top of the antenna of the handset there is an indicator lamp (which is flashing while the phone is ringing), and you have an option to set that if you have a new message, the lamp will flash, even the handset is off the base. So you don't have to go to your base to check for new messages. You just see the indicator lamp flashing slowly on the handset, and you press the soft button 'play', and you hear the messages on the handset speaker. Smart!
I also like that lately in Panasonic phones you have a redial list of the last 5 outgoing calls (Although some others have a list of the last 10 calls).
Let's go over some things Panasonic used to offer on their previous phones and now you can't get it any more, and I really missed them all.
1) LCD on the base to show Caller ID and other info. (even on the older models that do have it, it was never backlit).
2) In the good old days, the answering system had a 'fast talk' feature on message playback, so if somebody is talking too slowly, you can make it play faster by about 30%. And you was also able to rewind it fast (also about 30% faster than 1X the speed). (much like your CD players rewind and fast forward functions, when you press the forward button and hold it, it plays faster and while pressing and holding the rewind button it's rewinding but you can hear it. This was very useful for me in many situations, for example: you have a long message from your friend, with a return phone number at the end of the message, and I just wanted to re-listen to the phone number, I was able to rewind as many times as I wanted to listen to that phone number. Or restart the message from the beginning and fast forward it to the point you want to listen (you know, we're always in a hurry...)
In the newer Panasonic phones (last 4-5 years or so), if you press rewind - even if you keep holding it, it will return to the beginning of the message or to the previous message, same as forward will move it to the next message. Also, the last few years they have a new useless feature called 'Slow talk', so you can play the message about 30% slower than usual! I never used that feature. But for you people who did used it, be advised that this feature has been eliminated from this phone. No more slow or fast talk - just regular speed.
Now, let me describe some features Panasonic never had, but other competitors do have them, and would be nice to see them in upcoming Panasonic telephones (I hope Panasonic is reading the reviews).
1) Show the time (and date) on the handset when not in use.
2) Automatically adjust time when a caller calls in (with caller ID). In Panasonic phones you have to set it first manually, and caller ID will adjust the time if the time is incorrect. But if the date & time have not been previously set, caller ID information will not adjust the date & time.
Sorry for my long review. I hope you'll find some useful information.

Product Description:
Panasonic's KX-TG5240M utilizes the 5.8 GHz band and digital frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology for increased call security and range and for less interference. This system comes with one handset but can accommodate up to three more (for a total of four). Compatible with Caller ID/call waiting, the KX-TG5240M offers a 50-station caller ID memory and dialer, accessible through the handset's three-line backlit LCD. It also features talking caller ID, which audibly announces who's calling through the handset and base speakerphones. Rounding out the main features are an integrated digital answering system and a light-up antenna on the handset that flashes to alert you to new calls and messages. The handsets also offer a variety of ring tones and melodies to choose from.
The KX-TG5240M allows you to pre-program frequently called numbers, even for chain dialing (ideal for calling automated systems that require a series of numeric inputs). It's also Caller IQ compatible, a service provides updates on weather, sports, horoscopes, and more; the information is sent directly to your telephone and displayed on the handset screen. (Caller ID and call waiting require subscription through your phone company. Caller IQ is a fee based service that requires registration.)

Panasonic GigaRange KX-TG5571M 5.8 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Phone with Answering System and Talking Caller ID (Metallic Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I junked my Motorola MD681 for this phone.I was skeptical about jumping into another wireless phone system, but I needed phones in some areas where there are typically no jacks (garage, attic).After doing some research, I decided to go with Panasonics' new phone system.Unlike Motorola, I see all types of older 2.4Ghz expandable Panasonic phones still available for purchase from the popular retailers. So, this new phone should be supported for some time.Anyway, into the details.

The Good
1. Handset : this phone feels good in the hand and on the ear.Though not overly heavy, it has a nice weight and doesn't creak or flex through normal use unlike some other less expensive handsets.Most of the color on the handset is protected by a clear acrylic, so it will retain its color for years.The LCD screen is very large, much larger than I am used to.It does show a great deal of information legibly.It has an orange backlight that illuminates the screen as well as all of the buttons.Most of the navigation is done with a 4-way joystick and 2 soft buttons which makes most things fairly intuitive.

2. The Base : It is small considering how many buttons and functions it performs.It is however missing a large display for showing callerID information.However, most of the time I will look to the phone to provide this info, and it leaves only one CID list to maintain.On my old system, the base would always show 50 new calls because I never went through the CID list on the base, so this is a plus for me.

3. Sound : Okay, this is a highly subjective area, but I like the sound of the Panasonic.The speakerphone, on the handset, is probably one of the best I have used.The mic is sensitive enough that we don't have to yell to be heard, and the speaker provides consistent volume and good clarity.There is a voice enhancement filter that you can turn on or off, or have the phone decide when to use it.I have it set to automatic, and I can't tell if it is on without looking at the display.It is never on for domestic calls, but for those overseas calls it activates and the calls sound like domestic calls with a wee bit of static.I have not done an A/B comparison to see how a long distance call sounds with it on and off, so this could be a gimmick.There are the standard beepy, computerized ringtones included, but you can record your own ringtones into the phone from any source you want.I haven't played with this yet, but the demos that are included with the phone sound as good as could be expected from a telephone.I guess I would put them above cell phone quality audio of the same type.

4. Convenience : The thing that I love about this phone is that you can check/delete/save your answering machine messages from any handset. If there is CID info, you can return the call immediately by pressing talk and the phone will dial the number.The other thing I love about this phone is the shared phonebook.No more looking for the phone with so-and-so's number on it, or having to program 4 phones with the same number, they will all have the same phonebook.This phone also has a distictive ring capacity.You can program anyone in your phonebook to flash the LED in one of three colors (blue/green/orange) as well as play a certain ring tone, including the user recorded types.Plus the standard intercom, call transfers, 3-way calling that is pretty much standard with these types of phones.

5. Extras : This system comes with a feature called CallerIQ.You have to signup with a 3rd party company openLCR.For $10 every 4 months, they will allow you to call them and download weather, stocks, sports scores, horoscopes and lottery results. Ringtones aren't included and cost extra and are of the downloaded cell phone ringtone sytle.You can also have your phonebook uploaded for safe keeping and reference while away from home.Not sure if this is a plus or minus, but getting the 1 to 3 days of weather on your phone is a nice little thing.I have not tried this myself.

6. Range : This phone covers my whole house with no static or dropouts.I have not attempted to walk down the street with it because I probably never will, but a walk to the mailbox proved its range to be adequate, especially with the base at the other end of the house.I have also not noticed any intereference with my wireless network, but truth be told you shouldn't with any 5.8ghz phone.

The Not So Good
1. The Phone : The buttons are small.Not very small, but noticeably smaller than normal.The Talk/Off/Speakerphone buttons and the Soft Buttons are tiny, and may be hard to hit for those people with big/wide fingers.

2. The Base : I would not suggest mounting this on your wall.The bracket supplied essentially holds the base horizontally as if it were laying on a table, so it just juts out into the room instead for hanging more or less flush.Needless to say, my base is resting upon a table now.The base also was not intended to be the primary source of input.The LCD panel is small, and only displays the number of calls on the answering machine.A small green light on the base will let you know if the line is being used.I wish there was more info displayed on the base, but the phone is your primary device for accessing the system, so I guess they're keeping it simple.

3. Sound : Other than the questionable effectiveness of the voice enhancer, I don't have much to complain about here.

4. Convenience : How hard is it to name the various phones?I don't want to have to tell people phone 2 is in the basement, or phone 3 is the guest room.Why can't we label phones or just pick from a list of common rooms when we associate a phone to the base?I deduct .5 stars for this because everything else is there, why not this?It seems like a total no brainer.

5. Extras : I'm not sure about the 3rd party site for CallerIQ.They mention on the site that it is a long distance call, but they don't say to where.So, you figure 30-90 seconds a day to download the information.That's quite a bit of long distance calling that you have to pay for on top of the service charge.No too sure about this one.

So, this turned out to be much longer than I had ever intended it to be.So, I'll attempt to summarize for those who don't want to slog through my rambling.

The Panasonic TG5571M is a solid phone with a good feature set and some very nice convenience features added in.It allows you to check the answering machine from any phone in the system, it also has one unified phonebook that is shared between all phones, and it has great sound and sufficient range.However, it is missing the capability to name the various satellite phones, the buttons on the phone are slightly smaller than normal and the wall mount projects the phone into the room.I'm giving it 5 stars, because I can't give 4.5.

Additional features include base and handset speakerphone capabilities, four-way conferencing (requires additional handsets), and an intercom system that allows communication between handsets and between the base unit and individual handsets.

Panasonic Link-to-Cell Expandable Bluetooth-Enabled DECT 6.0 Phone System with 2 Handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Due to the mixed reviews, I purchased this from Best Buy so returning it would not be a hassle. After several months, I have never had a dropped call or disconnected handset, so I've kept it and ordered 4 additional handsets.

As far as I know, the only handsets that work are the ones that are exactly the same as it comes with -- the KX-TGA930T, and the splash/drop resistant KX-TGA935B. I got one of the 935's so my wife can take it outside/gardening/etc. It is noticeably bulkier and heavier and so I only ordered the one, and it lives on the kitchen counter when it isn't travelling outdoors.

With the base unit on the ground floor and not really near any windows, in fact it's right next to the fridge, I can go about 2 to 3 houses away before it cuts out. There is a jogging track across the next street over, so through two yards and a street, in the direction that the fridge doesn't block, and it does go further in that direction. Place the base station with windows and desired distant coverage in mind and you should be pleased with the results.

A big Pro for me is the batteries are rechargeable AAA's, 2 per handset. You'll never have to buy an expensive proprietary battery. And, when you do replace the AAA's it comes with, you can use your choice of higher mAh ones like Eneloop or Duracell. I like the shared phonebook, as opposed to having to program numbers on each handset. If you prefer the latter, then this system may not be for you. You can set Night Ring mode for different times on different handsets, but you can't name the handset. We just have to remember that the "Bedroom" phone is #1 and that's the one that doesn't ring after 10pm. It's a handy feature.

I have a Blackberry Storm and my wife has an LG Chocolate 2. As soon as I turn OFF my Jawbone Prime, the base can connect to it. After I drive away from the house, I can turn on the Jawbone and it can find the Storm. The Storm seems to only talk to one BT device at once. I don't know if any of the negative reviewers are contributing some difficulties to concurrent BT headset use. The BlueTooth range is MUCH farther with the base than my headset. I was shocked that it works just fine without any BT static when I take my phone clear upstairs into the bedroom where my charging cradle lets the Storm double as a bedside clock. I have been so used BT headset range being limited even to where I keep my phone on the same side of my body as the earpiece. Occasionally, perhaps once a month, the base doesn't connect back up to one of our cell phones after a call. After unplugging the base station power for a couple seconds it comes back up just fine. We have NOT had any dropped calls using cell or landline (well, technically it's VOIP but same thing to the base).

Being used to the ability to pass calls to and from the BT headset, I found that the Panasonic cannot do this exactly. Of course, I can "steal" a call-in-progress from the Panasonic to talk on the cell, but I can't send a call to the Panasonic the way I can by turning on my Jawbone and having the call-in-progress transfer to the headset from the cell. I tried everything, but the Panasonic only knows how to answer a ringing Cell call or dial out an outgoing Cell call. Fortunately, my wife's Chocolate is more user-friendly than the Storm, in that if she picks up the Chocolate and answers it, the Chocolate doesn't default to BT like the Storm does. If I have to answer my Storm, I have to hit Answer, then Menu, Activate Handset, while the caller is inevitably saying, "Hello? Hello???" Be aware of this, and be prepared to teach your wife/parents/whoever how to answer their own cell when it's paired to the Panasonic's BlueTooth, if needed.

The biggest con I have with this system is that it can ONLY do ONE thing at a time, with the exception of a two-handset phone call. ONE phone can be using the phonebook at a time. About all it does in tandem is that you can intercom two handsets at the same time as other handsets make a phone call (we use it as an ad-hoc baby monitor sometimes). You can talk on ONE line, either cell 1 or cell 2 or landline, but you can't use more than one line at once and certainly not conference them. However, the convenience of walking to any of the 6 handsets to answer a call rather than dash around the house trying to find where the cell phone got set down, or trip up or down the stairs because it's always sitting on the kitchen counter, far outweighs the occasional times we get two calls at once and someone has to use their cell phone. You can't look up phone book or caller-id logs while any other phone is doing so or is on a phone call.

I wish you could change the backlight time, cradle-backlight settings, and have a large screensaver "clock" option, but you can't.

Overall the system is a keeper for us. The only reason I might be disappointed is if the VTech LS6245 that finally seems to have come out recently, or another BlueTooth enabled system, turns out to be a killer system and overcome some of the limitations such as one line or intercom at once. My wife loves it and doesn't care that it only does one thing at once.

4 stars instead of 5 because I think that by supporting up to 6 handsets, it should allow at minimum one handset to be on one call while another handset is on another, and intercom from handset can only ring one other handset (by number since it doesn't "name" phones) -- if you want to "ring all" you have to go poke the "handset locator" button on the base.

Panasonic KX-TGA271V 2.4 GHz DSS Accessory Handset for Panasonic KX-TG2700 Series (Violet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I searched a year ago for a home cordless phone/answering system all in one to take the place of my somewhat outdated cordless phones and separate answering machine.Looked at many models and finally settled on the Panasonic KX-TG2700 series.I am impressed, and my family loves it.Yes, we still have the old corded standby for power outages, but these phones have worked well for 2 years now, and I bought a second system for my home office with 2 line capability.Then found an add on handset/clock radio to reduce the clutter on my nightstand.So, has lots of good functions, and everyone has one in their room and me in my office and by my bed.Only complaint was the battery life - very poor.I use the speakerphone feature in my office for conference calls and was always having to revert to the corded model to complete the call.Told Panasonic about this and the only response was to ship me a new battery, which I charged just as they stated.But poor battery design.So I did a little research and found Eveready made an Energizer battery that supposedly cured the problem.I bought a box from an on line retailer and replaced all the handset batteries, one by one, charging each as the phone instructions said.WORKS GREAT!!Batteries are sold by Technuity, Inc. and are model ER-P511.Now my phones have been in operation for over a year with these batteries and never lost a charge or cut my call off.If you find a good deal on this phone, go for it now before they sell out.Really good to use and easy to learn.I even have a door paging system/doorbell hooked up to the phone line and these phones do a great job when I use this for door intercom.And the bedside clock radio works great, sounds great for a clock radio.Panasonic got the design right - they look a little clunky, but work great.The reason I'm writing this is I'm looking for a couple more handsets before they phase out this phone.Not ready to go 5.8 gig yet.By the way, wireless modems have problems with cordless phones so we're still in the wired mode around here for the internet connection.

Panasonic KX-T7731 Telephone Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am sure this is a fine product deserving a high rating but more info is needed before one purchases this phone. The lack of info at this site gets it a 3 rating. I came out on Amazon to order a phone to use in my home office. I was looking at Panasonic phones and the KX-T7731B appeared to be perfect. It has all the features anyone would want and the price was reasonable. Even though I found the description on Amazon, the site told me that my order would come through ANTOnline.(Today when I came out to write this it says that Amazon sells the phone.) I read the description and I purchased the phone. When I received the phone I discovered that it is NOT a stand alone phone but one that needs to be part of a PBX system. Nowhere on the site under description or technical details does it say that. So I was forced to try to return it to ANTOnline. Their procedure is to send an e-mail and get permission to return it. You are to receive some type of Reference number before you can return it and they make you fill out a questionaire with vaque questions about the conditions of the packaging. If you answer any question wrong based on the condition the returned item is in when received from you they will assume you are lying and not give you a credit at all. It is unclear if you would get the merchendise back. They are trying to ascertain if they will be able to resale the phones or not. If you send it back in peek condition they still will deduct a 15% restocking charge. On the ANTOnline site their description of the phone does mention that it is not a stand alone. Amazons site does not. The point is, check multiple sites not only for price comparisons but also for technical details so that you can be sure of what you're getting. I am still waiting for the reference number so that I can send it back. That number will come via e-mail.
Update 9/18/07 - I was able to get my refund for this Phone minus the restocking fee.

Panasonic KX-TGA100N Accessory Handset for KX-TG1000N and KX-TG1050N Expandable Phones (Champagne) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have the base with 4 extra handsets.Great range - maintains coverage even where a previous 2.4Ghz set failed.Handsets are small but with great keypads and simple operation.Speakerphone works well and handset will stand unsupported on desk when using speakerphone - improving clarity.Only complaint is the LCD screen can be hard to read in certain lighting conditions.Smaller antenna on handset than the newer extended range handsets make them a better fit in the room.

Product Description:
Designed for use with the Panasonic KXTG1000N and KXTG1050N 2.4GHz Multi-Handset Cordless Phone bases, this champagne-colored handset combines quality performance with stylish design. It operates on the 2.4 GHz band with a pure digital signal for clear reception and crisp conversations. Plus, digital spread spectrum technology changes channels multiple times every second, spreading your digitized voice over a range of frequencies, improving both sound and security.
The handset features a backlit four-line LCD for Caller ID, making screening and tracking your calls a breeze. Fifty phone numbers are stored in the Caller ID memory, acting as a virtual phone book for quick callbacks.
Note that this handset can't function on its own--it must be used in conjunction with the Panasonic KXTG1000N or KXTG1050N. You can use up to three handsets with one base unit, which comes with its own handset, so you enjoy four phones on one base. The KXTGA100N handset is headset compatible and features a backlit keypad and 90-day warranty.

Panasonic KX-TG5633B 5.8 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Answering System with Three Handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been using Panasonic's phones for about 15 years now.I have always thought they had good products that lasted a long time, and there were always great features such as the speakerphone in the handsets, fun ringtones, etc.But one thing that irked me to death was the caller-ID functionality.I live in an area where the area code is required to dial all calls.The old phones attached 1's to everything that came through on the caller ID and you had to go through a complicated "editing" process to be able to call back a number that was on your caller ID.FINALLY Panasonic has addressed this and WOW, it WORKS!You simply go to the number on the caller list and push talk and it dials.Hooray!Additionally, if you have entered a number in your phone directory, it will apply the name info you entered to the information coming through on the caller id.You can even set special ring-tones or a designated light color to flash on the antennae for certain callers.Unnecessary but a cool bonus to me!

Another feature that I like, with this being the first multi-handset phone I have purchased, is the ability to build a phone directory into one phone and send it to the other phones in the house remotely.Also, you only need to access one phone line with the main base unit.For the other two phones, you simply plug the base units into the electrical outlet for charging and POOF, you are hooked up!

These phones are sleek, light-weight, have great sound reception, AND we have tested the speaker function both up close and at a distance, even next to the fridge for interference, and the sound quality is impeccable.

This phone system is a great product and an excellent value for the price.I would recommend it to anyone wanting to go cordless all over their house with quality handset units.Panasonic has come a LONG way in the last 5 years with their phone products.

Panasonic KX-TGA600B 5.8 GHz Expandable Digital Cordless Handset (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is only the third cordless phone I have ever owned. All three have been Panasonics, with the first one being bought 16 years ago. The first one died after a bad fall, and the second was retired to purchase this current phone system (multiple handsets), that is being used on a Vonage phone system (love it). These new phones have Voice Enhancer (VE), which really makes a difference by canceling out background noise. I also like the antenna-less design. It has a large phone directory that works similar to cell phone directories. It also has a built in speaker phone in the handset that makes retrieving voice mail very simple as you don't have to put the phone up to your ear to hear the next prompt. All-in-all a great phone.

Panasonic KX-TG2700S 2.4 GHz DSS Expandable Cordless Speakerphone with Caller ID Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just returned this phone after owning it for two weeks.The actual phone was decent enough...good layout and good sound.What I hated was the caller_id...for some reason the caller_id only displayed after two or three rings...way too late and not much time before the phone rolled into voicemail.
I called Panasonic 1-800 about the slow caller_id and they admitted customers complained about it.They gave me a few setting to try changing on my phone.I performed the suggestions but no change for my slow caller_id...so I returned the phone...

Product Description:
Panasonic's KX-TG2700S 2.4 GHz frequency hopping digital phone system randomly changes frequencies several times per second to eliminate the worry of cross-talk or eavesdropping. And, it's privacy mode even allows users to block all other handsets from joining your conversation. The system is expandable to eight handsets (one included) with up to seven model X-TGA270S extension units (optional).
When not using privacy mode, the KX-TG2700S facilitates four-way conferencing on a single outside line and offers a full digital duplex speakerphone through the base unit and handsets. Two-way intercom and paging features allow you to contact others throughout your office or busy home, and the handsets can even double as room monitors so that you can hear what's going on in any room of the house.

Each handset features a four-line backlit LCD for call status, programming options, and up to three lines of caller ID information. Handsets can share caller ID information as well, so you'll always be able to return your missed calls.
The KX-TG2700S also offers six programmable ring tones, a head set jack and belt clip, and wall mounting. It is backed by a one-year warranty.

Panasonic KX-TG3032B 2.4 GHz Cordless Telephone w/Digital Answering machine and 2 handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this phone after being driven nearly deaf and insane by a GE Edge phone whose ring and key volume were loud enough to hear easily in the next apartment over (and we don't normally hear our neighbors at all!), and which could not be adjusted.

Overall, this phone is almost exactly what I was looking for.It allows you to adjust ring tone, ring volume, and key tone (either on or off in the later case).Voices come through clear, and the vocal enhancement feature is nice too.It's also relatively easy to program/save answering machine messages.

I have only two minor complaints about it:First, one has to go through a couple of menus in order to turn the ringer off.I don't like being awakened by supposed charities calling at 8 am so I normally want to turn the ringer off at night and have it on low during the day.Secondly, there should be a means by which one can change the volume of the speaker; thus far, turning the voice enhancement on or off is enough for me.On the other hand, if you have sub-par hearing, you should consider a panasonic model that allows one to change the speaker volume.

Lastly, though I haven't tried it much, I don't think the speaker-phone option works very well.It is of sufficient volume to hear the person talking to you, but you still need to be within a couple feet of your phone and speaking directly at it to pick your voice up very well.I think if you want this functionality, you should probably just pick yourself up a headset.

(More customer reviews)This phone looks good on paper:2.4 GHz, digital answering machine, call waiting caller ID, digital duplex speakerphone on base and handset, 50 number memory, etc.But when it comes to clarity and reception, this phone is terrible.The answering machine message playback and the speakerphone sounds are muffled.

Panasonic KXTGA400B 2.4GHz Accessory Handset for KXTG4000B Expandable Phone (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my home office - we have 2 home lines, a fax/dsl and a business line.This phone pretty much does it all - you can answer each line with a different outgoing message, set up mail boxes for different people, and even have different lines ring on different handsets, or not ring at all (i.e. the fax).The range is very good (I can usually get it to go about 400 feet outdoors in a suburban neighborhood).The handsets are pretty much the same size as the Panasonic 2.4mHz standard.Battery life seems fine.
My biggest peeve is that you can't use 2 handsets on the same line at the same time (I guess that is what the extension is for) and that one of the four handsets we got refuses to work properly - something with the battery, but Panasonic has been pretty helpful.

Product Description:
The KX-TGA400B handset works with the KX-TG4000B four-line cordlesstelephone system, giving your small business or home theproductivity-enhancing features of a business telephone system withoutthe high price tag. It communicateswith the KX-TG4000B base unit in both directions using 2.4 GHzfrequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transmission. FHSS technologyimproves calling range and clarity, and eliminates crosstalk. Becauseit rapidly changes transmission frequencies within the 2.4 GHzbandwidth, this cordless system helps reduce the possibility ofeavesdropping.
The KX-TG4000B phone system operates via cordlesstransmissions, so no expensive (and messy) wiring or installation isrequired. Simply hook up the base to your phone lines and plug it intoan AC outlet. Then, set up the included KX-TGA400B handset in thedesired location and plug in the recharging stand. You can add up toeight KX-TGA400B handsets to the system.
Dual caller ID with callwaiting lets you view the name and number of all incoming callers oneither the base unit or handset LCD--even if you're already on theline. This caller ID feature also stores up to 50 names on the baseunit (up to 30 names on each handset), with direct callbackcapability. And thanks to caller ID pager call, you can even programthe phone to notify your pager when you've received an incoming call,and to forward caller ID data to your pager's display. (Subscriptionto caller ID services is required.)
Other handset features includetwo-way intercom/paging with the base unit and other handsets, alighted handset keypad, headset jack, and a belt clip. The handsetoffers up to eight hours of talk time and up to 96 hours of standbybattery life.

Panasonic KX-TG2480S 2.4 GHz 2.4GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Telephone Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With most of the available two-line phones now being sold as console units that will support many cordless handsets and built in message features, I wanted a plain old, stand alone, two line phone.Like the old record turntables, most of the big manufacturers still offer one or two choices but the pickings are slim.I decided to chose Panasonic based on a mostly positive experience with their products over the years, but it is not a great phone.Good phone, yes.It can be staticy and not so clear from time to time but I always get a signal.The operation sequence for managing the incoming calls has you push one button and the phone will answer what ever line is comming in.This system does not perform well with "call waiting".I still don't have it down yet.Fortunatly most people call back if I cut them off.

In closing,I had a V-Tech before this that worked great but died after about 14 months.They still make one but the Panasonic seemed a safer choice.

Panasonic KX-TG2632B 2.4 GHz FHSS GigaRange Digital Cordless Answering System with Dual Handsets Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i threw my old panasonic phone against the wall and it didn't work very well after that. so, i had a good excuse to replace it with a new phone with the features i wanted--1)a set of cordless phones, one base, and an additional charger i could keep in the other side of the house, 2)digital answering machine because i screen my calls, 3)caller i.d. and stored numbers. all of these for a great price. it was about $50 in comparison to most comparable phones for $130.

i really wanted to have one phone that had two cordless handsets and only required one jack in the house, that could be on both sides of the house in case of emergency, or to reach at night before the answering machine picked up, without running across the house to the charger.

what i did not expect: good sound quality, phone and base 1/2 the size of my old phone. the blinking antenna is very cool. and if you have not bought a new phone in the past few years...these operate very much like cell phones. you can program numbers and call directly from your menu, you dial the number and see it displayed before you press "talk" so no more redialing when you make a mistake. you can check messages from the handset. it has a lot of features without being too complicated. the only drawback: it is staticy when it's next to the clock radio, that's why i gave it four stars. also, it is small, if you have big hands or poor eyesite, this could be inconvenient.
