Excellent phone
This is my third purchase of Uniden phones and all (900Mhz,2.4Ghz and now 5.8Ghz) have met or exceeded my expectations.This phone was easy to set up and,once set up, it's features made it a joy to use.My WI-FI that used to take a hike whenever I answered my 2.4Ghz cordless phone is now stable.That alone made this purchase worth it.The clarity is excellent and the absence of interference is remarkable.The answering machine is a plus. ...

Nice phone, nice features
I've been very pleased with this phone.The bright and large black on orange text display is a big improvement over older Panasonic black on green displays.Borrowing from cell phone functions, there are three soft keys for voicemail notification on/off, voice enhancer, and phone list, a nice touch.The handset is comfortable to use (albeit larger than many other brands), and the keypad has nice large keys that are easily dialed one-handedly.The good-quality speakerphone is also a handy option, as is the flashing light visible on the antenna tip to signal incoming calls or new voicemail.

Sound quality is excellent both in and out; I've not had any of the issues noted, and I did test via leaving messages on my cell phone.However, when the "Voice Enhancer" function is turned on, my voice did sound overamplified with feedback noise.I'm guessing that this function is designed for someone with a very soft voice, and that most users would be better off not engaging it.It is, though, a nice option for perhaps a child or the elderly person who needs their voice "enhanced".

Overall, with the $30 Panasonic rebate in place until the end of May, I rate this phone very highly on a price/value basis.I may purchase another.

Best phone I've ever had
I've owned this phone for over a year, (...) My favorite feature is the speakerphone on the handset.This is so convenient.It even allows you to mute while on speakerphone.Great for those conference calls to the office when you're home with a sick child.Another great feature is that if you have voicemail with your phone company, a light on the antenna will flash to let you know you have a message. By the way, I have had none of the problems mentioned by others.

Battery died in 6 months, never got the rebate.
I bought the phone and WAS satisfied with its quality even I didn't get the rebate. (Panasonic is famous for its bad rebate) But barely after 6 months, the battery totally died. I here DO NOT recommend this phone and I do not recommend any panasonic products with rebates.

Panasonic's reputation got dinged with this phone
I too am disapointed in this phone. I've always been pleased with Panasonic products, but not this one. For me, the problems are when I'm too close to the base unit, the other party can't understand me. It seems when I'm further away it clears up. How Panasonic can release a phone to the market with this kind of obvious problem is beyond me. I like the features. I like the speakerphone. I like everything else about it, but if it can't do the basic function of talking to a caller, what good is it?

My recomendation is to avoid this model completely and hold out for something else.

Voice Does Not Sound Clear To Others
I bought the Panasonic KX-TG5050W and charged the battery for six hours as recommended.I made test calls to friends. I heard them clearly, but they all said that my voice sounded muffled and had an echo.This is unacceptable.I returned the phone and bought the Panasonic KX-TG2313W.This is a great phone.I don't believe it is available in black. ...

The Siemens Gigaset 2420 offers a full-featured multiuser phone systemfor growing offices and hip households. The base package includes a two-linedesk phone that serves as the master station for the system, as well as one 2.4GHz cordless handset (model 2400) with its own charger base. Expanding thissystem is simply a matter of purchasing additional cordless handsets (up to atotal of eight) and registering them with the desk station.

With its stylish,understated look, the Gigaset 2420 will be a sharp addition to any office. Thedesk station features an uncluttered control panel that uses bright red lightsto alert you to line use, caller ID callers, voice messages, and access to voicemail services provided by your phone company. Siemens makes the most of the two- line LCD display, consistently dishing up very informative menus and callinformation. There are only four speed-dial buttons, but the system includes abuilt-in scrollable phone directory that you can easily scroll through to movecaller ID entries into the directory. Transferring calls couldn't be easier;pressing the "Int" button displays a menu of extensions, complete withnames.

The cordless handsets are small and light, and incorporate a surprisingamount of local functionality. The handset's control panel is very consistentwith the desk station; in addition, some of the functions are wisely implementedthrough two double-position buttons that control soft menus on the LCD display.This gives remote users a look and feel similar to mobile phones, including theflexibility to customize ringer volume and pitch for both external lines and theintercom.

The 2420 system can support two external calls, as well as aninternal conversation between two handsets, for a total of four active handsetsat any given time. The cordless handsets store their own local phonedirectories, and you can send directory entries to other handsets or to the deskstation. For the wandering user, the cordless units also provide an audible out- of-range warning.

During our tests, we found the Gigaset 2420 packageintuitive and its handset comfortable. The system was easy to set up. We simplyplugged in the phone line, installed the batteries in the cordless extensions(they accept either ni-cad or NiMH), charged them, and registered the cordlesshandsets with the base by following a quick, well-documented procedure. Thestandard ni-cad batteries (included) provide about four hours of talk time, andthe optional NiMH batteries provide about twice that. We recommend returning thehandsets to their chargers at least every evening.

The standard belt clip andheadset jack made the cordless units perfect for our users on the go. One of the2420's strengths--its small handset--was our only frustration. We found both thedesk handset and the cordless extensions difficult to cradle on our shoulder.Old habits often die hard.

We highly recommend the Siemens Gigaset 2420 systemfor growing offices and households with kinetic teenagers. This affordablepackage allows for quick expansion without running any additional phone wiresand gives all of the users full control over the system's operation. -- Stephen W. Plain

Pros:

• Clear sound
• Easy installation and setup
• Major system functions available from the handset

Cons:

• Handsets difficult to cradle on your shoulder
• Limited range compared to less expensive 900 MHz DSS models

Features

• Call transfer, conference, consultation, intercom, and room monitor
• 2.4 GHz digital spread spectrum operation (base and handset)
• Supports up to 8 cordless handsets
• Digital speakerphone and digital answering machine with 26-minute memory
• Caller ID/call waiting, 2-line capacity

LCD is dead. 10 thumbs DOWN!!
LCD is broken. Phone doesnt ring. Dont trust the Siemens support. They dont answer. They donr help.

Wish the handsets worked as well as the base
I bought this system for my office after I had installed a 2415 at my home. I was in the honeymoon period at home and decided that we needed the same at the office. Initally everything was as good as advertised. The receptionist (who loved the features) thought she was in heaven and life was good.

Then the handsets started failing, one after the other. Eventually, like my handsets at home, they all failed- every single one. Siemens was very distant and unhelpful, although they replaced the handsets the replacements failed more rapidly (I suspect they were "factory reconditioned") After the warranty was up, Siemens would only offer to sell me more handsets.

Now the base, whose LCD screen no longer works, sits on a side table. People use it to make outside calls and answer pages. They comment on the styling (I agree with that), and remark on the sound quality (quite good on the base). They ask what the antenna is for, and I tell them not to ask.... they don't want to know.

High Cost for Poor Quality Product! Don't Buy Siemens
I bought the 2420 with desk station and handset.First thing to fail was the handset where the display and then the number 4 on the keypad gave out.This of course was just after the warranty period ended.Next the desk station LCD display stopped working and there is no way to repair it.Without the display working there is no way to program the phone.I need to be able to turn off the answering machine mode (because I use Vonage voicemail) and cannot do it.There is no flow chart in the manual that would show me the button pushing steps to accompish what I need to do.So I am throwing this expensive piece of sh*t away.I will never buy a Siemens telecom product again.The default on the phone is answering machine on, so there is no way to reset it (unplug it) and have the answering maching function turn off.

DItto; opened up handset - disturbing gell found
Ok, so our handsets have been getting flaky.
the buttons stopped working.

I opened it up.

There is some odd clear sticky gel everywhere, and the circuit board is discolored.

this is not battery goop, either. this is something else. I suspect either whatever was in the rubbery buttons OR whatever was in the contact layer for the switches.

I am now shopping for a replacement. I do need the dual line, multiple handset features, and would like some kind of battery backup. any advise?

Garbled sound, piece of junk, avoid Siemens
This phone is junk. I spent way too much money buying handsets and base units. Sound is garbled on handsets. Range is minimal. Base unit disconnects callers. Tech support completely useless. I wouldn't buy anything from this company. ... Read more

Don't judge a book by it's cover - looks nice, poor function
Don't even waste your money on this machine.I bought this machine about a year ago and it's ready for the garbage.When callers call, we can hear them and they can't hear us.As for the faxing/copying function, it now just prints out blank pages, even though the ink film is fairly new.When trying to fax, it always jammed if there was more than one page needing to be transmitted.Also, the ink film doesn't last very long.The only nice thing about this fax machine is the look and the cordless phone w/ caller id.I contacted Panasonic by phone and the recordings kept giving me different phone numbers to call.I emailed them my problem, haven't heard from them.I'm definitely not purchasing Panasonic again.

Only good for ultra-light duty
Form factor is very attractive and the phone and answering machine work well, but the fax machine is not good at all.Copies are quite weak, and faxing more than one page guarantees a misfeed.You really have to feed one page at a time to successfully send a multi-page fax.

If you only fax once in a blue moon but want a home fax, consider this system.If your usage pattern is heavier, keep looking.

Expensive ink
This machine takes very expensive ink to make it work.It works out to about $0.20 per page.Also, the machine is not that good anyways.

picture is not the offered item
the picture shown has no relevance to the item offered and I can find no data on how long on average the film will last before it has to be replaced.Inexpensive machine, expensive ink required to make it work ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

The Uniden EXS9966 two-line cordless phone helps organize your busy family or home office. It supports two lines, three- and four-way conference calling, and caller ID with call waiting--all in an easy-to-operate unit.

Before testing the Uniden EXS9966, we charged it for the recommended 15 to 20 hours, which is longer than most rechargeable batteries require. A spare handset battery (not included) can be charged in the base. A laminated quick guide is included for convenient reference to basic phone operations.

In our tests of the Uniden EXS9966, we were able to take the phone outside over 700 feet from the base before detecting any voice breakup. Although the range was impressive, we did notice a slight background humming even at close range, but it wasn't excessively distracting. We were able to take the phone behind walls and near electronic equipment without losing signal strength.

With the additional keypad on the base, the handset and the base can be used at the same time on separate lines. If the handset is already in use on one line, you can use the base station to make or receive calls on the other line. Indicators let you know which line is in use. The controls that operate these features are intuitive.

The sturdy handset has a lighted keypad and LCD. The conference and intercom buttons allow you to add a third or fourth party to a conversation. To add a party to line one, press the hold button, press the line two button, and dial the number of the person you want to include. To bring the first person back into the conversation, press the conference button. A fourth person, at either the handset or base, can also join your conversation.

You can store up to 40 speed-dial numbers in memory. We were easily able to store a number using the LCD and arrow keys on the handset. To dial a stored number, we pressed the memory button, found the number on the LCD, and selected a line. The handset's LCD also provides caller ID information, if you subscribe to caller ID or caller ID with call waiting. You can position the handset face up on the base for convenient caller identification on both lines. The EXS9966 also has a generous 80-number caller ID log. --Emily Bakko

Pros:

• Allows 3- or 4-way conversations
• Sturdy construction and intuitive layout
• Laminated quick guide included

• Slight background humming
• Ringer can only be set to high or low

BAD. Beware of Panasonic's deceptive customer service.
It is with great frustration that I am writing this product review. I have had too much trouble with the battery for the cordless telephone handset (Model KX-TG2700S) and I have complained to Panasonics as described below.

March 8, 2005: I made the first call to Panasonic (1-800-211-7262) to explain that the original battery (Model N4HKGMA00001) for my telephone's handset had stopped working. In particular, since December 2004, in less than one year from the initial purchase, I was unable to charge the battery from the base unit. The customer service agent I spoke to promised to send me a replacement battery free of charge.

March 31, 2005: When after three weeks of my March 8th call I did not receive the battery, I called Panasonic again. This time, the customer service agent told me that there had been an error in processing my order. The agent then went on to process the order again and provided me an order number.

April 16, 2005: Once again I did not receive the battery even after two weeks of my March 31st call, so I called Panasonic again. This time, the customer service agent told me that Panasonic had stopped sending the batteries for Model KX-TG2700 as of March 19, 2005.

Hence, I am now concluding that Panasonic customer service has been giving me a run around to save Panasonic a mere $15, the cost of the battery. I complained about the defective battery on March 8, 2005, before Panasonic's March 19, 2005 decision to suspend sending out the replacement batteries. I think Panasonic's modus operandi is quite disgusting. I bought an expensive phone believing it to be a good purchase. Now I am realizing that it was a big mistake giving my business to Panasonic. I do understand that the batteries have to be replaced from time to time, and I also understood when I bought the phone that the original battery would last for at least 2 years (as reiterated by Panasonic's customer service agent during my March 8, 2005 call!).

I believe that Panasonic is willing to lose a customer who would buy more products in future to save a mere $15. It is now abundantly clear to me that Panasonic works on deception and cheats its customers out of the value of their product. In light of the lousy customer service provided to me, I will not buy any Panasonic products in future.

The Energizer battery makes a big difference!
I've had this phone for a couple of years now. The feature are decent and I like the handset speakerphone.
We had a lot of trouble with the battery at first. It eventually got so bad that we started using the base to make calls. We finally got the Energizer ER-P511 battery and it made a huge improvement! I hardly ever hear that annoying beep anymore!

I'm satisfied with the phone overall. Some of my complaints is that the expansion handsets seem a little pricey. Also the 2.4Ghz seems to interfere with the wireless video kit that I just got, so I'm thinking of moving to a 5.8Ghz system with an extra handset. However, there does not seem to be too much interference with my 2.4ghz DLINK DI-514.

We absolutely hate this phone system (Really 0 stars)
Oh, let us count the ways:

1) The battery life, as everyone mentions, is horrible. I suspect their recharging unit is not very smart, and thus they kill the batteries thanks to overcharging due to the so-called battery 'memory effort,' but I do not know this fer sure. The battery in one phone has now died on us, one is now so faint you can barely hear it, and the last one doesn't recharge much, and dies within the span of a 10 minute conversation when 'fully' charged.

2) There is also a short in the system, possibly related to the bad battery life, that results in the LCD screen blanking out when the phone is on the charger, and it only sometimes comes back alive. This makes the nice Caller ID LCD feature often useless.

3) They are NOT at all cheap for this level of crappiness. We decided to spring for what we thought were 'high-end' phones and got a terrible phone instead.

We will probably try to find the Energizer ER-P511 batteries to see if that solves our problems. But I'm tempted to go back to old but far more reliable phones. Alas, if only our cell phones worked in the house. (DON'T get me started on that one...)

Nice feature set but poor implementation
I've owned Panasonic phones pretty much for the last 10 years and they've all been great.When I saw the verbose feature list on this phone plus the 2.4Ghz range, I jumped.

I liked the cell phone like approach to storing numbers, though the interface is quite clunky.Sometimes it's hard to figure out your way back to the main menu.

Anyway, the main beef I have with this phone is battery life and construction quality.I've had the phone for less than a year and the battery has reached the point where it starts beeping after having one conversation on the phone.This is unacceptable.For some reason, the LCD panel has gotten so faded that I can barely read it without extreme darkness.I tried to adjust the contrast but nothing happened.

Luckily I bought this phone with a 2yr replacement warranty at Best Buy and I'm returning it and its accessory phone to get a better system.

I was very happy with the features but the promise was greater than the execution.

Terrible, terrible phone
Horrible battery life. Returned the first one after a week, but second one was no better. Constantly needs charging and even then I'm lucky to get 1/2 hour of talk time. My old Panasonics were incredible - with regular use I could go 4 or 5 days without charging. Sadly, I don't think the 5.8g's are any better. ... Read more

Take your money elsewhere!
I purchased this phone with an additional handset last week and it is of extremely poor quality so I have resumed use of my old 900 mhz VTech.This phone causes both an echo of my voice and a loss of fluid communication, which, is the reason for its use!In sum, take your money elsewhere!

Great product - No caller I.D. bug either
I have four of these phones (a base and three additional phones) and four teenagers! I think they have held up well. I have also found the Caller I.D. feature to work fine as well. An earlier reviewer indicated it had a bug, but I think this will solve the problem for him. Page 42 of the manual explains that to change the Caller I.D. display, you press # until you see the number in the display change to the way you need it to be to dial it (i.e., push the # sign until the #1 appears before the phone number to dial a long-distance number).

Very Poor Phone
Poor quality unit. That's why AT&T doesn't sell these themselves, but out-sources them instead. Half the time I have a echo in my ear of myself when I use the phone. Now it has developed a "Chripping" sound that you only hear once you have dialed the number. The person on the other end can't hear you when this happens. Solution is hang up, walk over to base unit, pick base unit up about 4 inches from desk, drop base unit on desk, re-dial the phone number. Of course these undocumented features (problems) began shortly after the warranty had expired.

I don't what some of you are doing
I don't know what some of you are doing with your phones, but I have not had any problems over the past YEAR with my phone. The only problem I have experienced is that someone in my house left one of my three handsets on the back of my truck. It is nowhere to be found. Thanks alot Kevin!

Do Not Purchase This Phone
I'd give it 0 stars if I could. I had the same problem with the phone cutting out as the person from Plainview, NY.See AT&T 2300 2.4 GHz Cordless Phone with Caller ID for the review. I do not have call waiting nor do most of the people I call. AT&T was trying to blame the problem on that, but it must be something else. They sent me a new phone (wrong model) to replace it, but it had the same issue. I sent it back. Later, the original phone was unable to find it's base even though other phones worked fine when plugged into the phone connection. ... Read more

Save your money!
I purchased this phone from SAM's Club - the one they sell is actually the 2489 which comes w/ an extra handset.The phones have great features, but the handsets are terrible.The sound quality comes and goes and sometimes when you try to turn the phone on it gives you a "system busy" message.

The speakerphone quality is pretty good and feature-wise the phone is great.If you're looking for a good cordless phone, this is not it!

Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money on this phone.I bought the base unit and 2 added extensions.The instructions on the registration of the auxiliary phones omitted several steps.The base phone instructions don't even explain how to use call waiting, a pretty basic function popular since the 80's.Customer service leaves you on hold for 20 minutes, and they can't help you since they have never even seen the phone.They are just reading the same, truncated instructions you are!Maybe VTech should realize that the best advertising is word of mouth.Don't bother with this system.

Caller ID?
I liked this phone when I got it but am in the process of sending back the second one I purchased.The caller ID feature works on one line but not on the other.The company's help line was worthless, didn't even know how to turn off call screening.I tried everything they suggested, unplugging, taking out the battery, unplugging other two-line phones in the house that had caller ID, etc.Nothing worked.The company was very good about sending another phone but that one didn't work either.It's a shame because the ability to access the answering machine from the additional handsets was a big plus.

Voice quality was only fair, and I sometimes got a clicking sound when talking on the phone that was annoying to me and the people I was talking to.Still, I would have kept the phone for the ability to access the answer machine, the speaker phone in the base, and the light weight of the handset if it hadn't been for the malfunctioning caller ID.

Update:The company has finally admitted that the caller ID on the second line of the phones just doesn't work.They are trying to fix it and will give me a new phone when they do.In the meantime I am stuck with a phone that doesn't do what I need it to do.I have ordered an AT&T phone system but just learned that AT&T owns V-Tech so this system will probably turn out to have the same problem.It infuriates me that the company knows this is a problem but still sells the phone promising it will show caller ID, and not just on one line!

Great phone system
This is a terrific, well-priced, and reliable phone. Reception is clear, battery life is adequate and it is simple to use. I have tried many, more expensive systems and the v-tech 2 line is the best. Additional phones can be added seamlessly and you do not need an outlet in every room. The answering machine can be acceseed from any handset and the paging functions work quite well. I now have 5 phones using 2 lines on the system and am very pleased.

echo, static, poor mic volume
When using the handset there is an intermittent reverberation. When using my plantronics headset, which has performed well for 3 years with a different phone, people complain of poor mic volume and/or static. They keep asking if I am on a cell phone.

Its going back. ... Read more

Disappointing range
I bought this phone essentially for its announced "mega-giga-range" but was majorly disappointed. My old 900Mhz DSS phone has by far a better and longer range.
Other than that the phone is nice and sleek and easy to use.

Expandability is questionable
I bought the previous model (TG5100M) less than a year ago hoping to buy handsets as I need them (I think I looked at "Panasonic for Life" logo for too long). However, both the base AND THE HANDSETS are discontinued now, and new models (TGA520M series) are incompatible with my base. So, while both the base and the handset are working fine, the chances for expandability are now zero... Beware!

Nice Features, Easy to Use
So far, we really like the phone, although we've been noticing some dropouts. (I'm going to switch voice enhancer off and see if that helps.) It was very easy to setup, and the display and handset are backlit, so very easy to read. Comfortable to hold, and on the ear, so if the dropouts stop ... it'll be a keeper.
I was replacing an AT&T 2.4g that we really liked, so I'm hoping this will be a winner. It's great that it came with (2) handsets.

Wonderful Phone System
I recently upgraded this phone from an older Panasonic system for 2 reasons.One, I don't have enough telephone outlets in my home and this system allows me to use the handset on a standard electrical wall outlet.Two, I have a wireless cable modem that might cause interference with the older 2 GHz system.

This unit is great.It is easy to program.The instructions are simple to follow.There are wonderful features without going overboard to include "the kitchen sink".The sound quality on both ends is excellent.I have ordered another handset today that is compatible with this system which includes a clock and a radio for the nightstand.Hurry, order while this telephone is still available.You will be glad that you did.

Finally, decent reception
I have been looking for a decent cordless phone since my old AT&T 9400 (900 MHz digital spread spectrum) died.That phone sounded just like a corded phone, and I never counted on having problems duplicating that experience.But I did.I tried 900 MHz models, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz of all brands, but there were always too many dead spots and drop outs.

The KX-TG5202 (essentially a KX-TG5200 with an extra handset and charger) fixes that problem.The sound quality is as good as I've heard from any current models, and it even sports a "voice enhancement" technology which, if switched on, makes voices sounds more "realistic."In addition, each handset has a speakerphone, which gets high marks from the people I've called on the phone.

The phone has a black and white display for Caller ID information, and three "soft buttons" which change function depending on the mode the phone is in.It has all basic functionality you'd expect from a $100+ phone (backlighting, phone books, various ring tones, etc.)It doesn't go overboard, however.There is no voice dialing or voice announcement of callers, for example.

All in all, this is a good, solid phone with basic functionality and more than respectable sound quality.If you're not looking for a lot of bells and whistles, you'll love it. ... Read more

Amazon.com Product Description

The KX-TG2314W from Panasonic is a 2.4 GHz phone system with several useful extras, including a second handset and caller ID compatibility. By utilizing a 2.4 GHz signal and frequency-hopping spread spectrum technology, the KX-TG2314W is able to offer clearer reception at greater distances than traditional analog phones, while Panasonic's Voice Enhancer technology expands the frequency range of the phone's signal, resulting in cleaner, more intelligible speech.

The caller ID features a 30-number internal memory, while a 30-number phone directory allows you to store your most important numbers internally for easy recall. A display-and-dial feature also allows you to scroll through the caller ID and phone directory lists and dial a number with the touch of a button.

A handset speakerphone is provided, while headset compatibility and an included belt clip allow you to communicate on the phone while performing other daily tasks. An illuminated keypad makes dialing in poorly-lit environments a snap, and the second handset allows you to have telephone extensions in separate locations, without an additional phone jack. Additionally, a wall-mounting option lets you keep your countertop clear from any unnecessary clutter.

Durable,Great reception and long battery life after charge
I'm very happy with all the features as well.

Excellent full featured cordless system
Everything about this system is excellent.

I would also like to point out that, at least for us, the relatively large form factor has turned out to be more comfortable than smaller units that we have tried.

The speaker mode is very clear and has no feedback but, as one reviewer pointed out, better use it in a quiet room. Another minor issue. The speaker phone feature does not appear to be available if the phone is in the cradle.

Great phone if you like static
This phone has so much static it is nearly useless.What a piece of junk.The other features of the phone are fine, but what good are they when all you get out of the receiver is a loud roar.Buy this phone only if you don't want to be able to hear the other party.

PANASONIC 2.4GHZ DSS CORDLESS PHONE/DUAL HANDSETS
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED THESE PHONES AND SO FAR I AM QUITE IMPRESSED WITH THIS VALUE!
WHEN I SET THE UP THE SYSTEM/PHONES I WAS ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY USE THE PHONES FOR CALLS, WITH JUST ONE (1) BAR READING IN THE BATTERY CHARGING AREA.(PHONE SHOULD BE CHARGED FOR 6 HOURS ACCORDING TO PANASONIC.)
-THE ONLY ISSUE THUSFAR IS THAT THE HEARING/EAR PORTION OF THE HANDSET(S) ARE ROUNDED AND SMALLER THAN WHAT I AM USED TO WITH CORDLESS PHONES.
-I FOUND THIS TO BE UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE HOLDING THE PHONE TO MY EAR(S).
IF YOU HAVE VERY SMALL EARS YOU WILL BE FINE. HOWEVER, ADULTS/CHILDREN WHO HAVE 'AVERAGE' SIZED EARS - YOU MIGHT FEEL LIKE YOUR UPPER EAR IS BEING 'CUT' FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD.
-A FRIEND HAS A SIMILAR CORDLESS HANDSET AND COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME THING. (I CANT BELIEVE I AM WRITING ABOUT EARS!) BUT...THIS IS TRUE.

Great Phone Reasonable Price
This has been a great phone, the reception on all three levels of our home. We love the phone-to-phone feature; I can call the 2nd floor from the basement with out having to walk up two flights of stairs. I do have two issues with the phone. One, when I talk on the phone my jaw tends to hit the keypad and of course create beeps. Two, the keypad on one of the phone has a sticky key and I don't recall ever spilling anything on it. But we are happy with the length of the battery and the reception. We've been through many phones and this one seems to be working out great. ... Read more

Great phone for home use
This is the second set I have gotten. This time for my mother. Works well, nice size, easy to set up second phone. Uniden is the only company I can find that gives the option of audible beeping when there is a new message. I wish the sound of the beep could be turned up a little more, but better than just a blinking light. Very happy with my first set.

Nice Uniden Unit
So far ive had no problems, Set up was easy, hearing is very clear, no static at all, i love the 2nd handset,Everything was easy to setup on it,and the price was great,alot of other reviews ive read they say nothing but problems, mine is great.
Thank You!

It's ok....but I'm replacing it
I got this phone thinking it would be great - the extra handset is a nice feature and I like that part.I have noticed that the battery life is pretty short and once when I was talking the battery died and then my phone never "hung up" - so for 15 minutes I was without a phone and could not pick up any phone in the house to use it.This has happened two times and is soooo frustrating, especially since the other phones in the house that are corded could not be used.

You can't use the 2 phones at once so that is a bit of an inconvenience as well.The reception is ok but it has it's moments.I have had the phone for about 6 months so it's broken in and the honeymoon's over.I am going to replace it, it was a nice try to get a cheaper phone but it's been more trouble than it's worth.

One of the best portables I've bought
I've gone through a lot of portable phones, and especially for the price, this is by far the best.The Caller ID doesn't seem to function, but neither did the previous phone on our system. Great sound, nice having two handhelds.

Works great, great price
I've had this phone system for a month now & I love it.I bought the 900MHz on purpose because the 2.4GHz interferes with wireless 54g routers & I have one.To date, i'm super impressed with this phone.The sound quality is clear & the extension unit works great in my bedroom (which doesn't have a phone line).The answering system is digital so you get a little distortion (nothing like good old tape) but I can live with that.Also, the battery lasts a long, long time unlike my Vtech which dies out in 2 hours.Overall, I highly recommend this product. ...

So close, but for one fatal flaw
I really liked this phone, it has a lot going for it.However, as other folks noted on here, the handset was useless when I got within 5 feet of the base.Useless!!!At one point I was dialing a number on the handset, and right in the middle of connecting the phone shut off without completing the call at all.Other times when on the handset and sitting at my desk (near the base unit) people said they couldn't understand me at all.Since I need a phone that works while sitting at my desk, I reluctantly had to return this unit.

I purchased a Motorola MD-671, which has no problems with the handset operating near the base unit.For the benefit of other readers, I'll do a compare and contrast of these two phones, as from what I found, if you want a cordless 5.8g phone to use with phone company provided voicemail (as opposed to the digital answering machinge option) then these two models are probably what you want to choose from.To put my review in perspective, I use my phone for my home office.I spend hours at a time on conference calls.This means I need a phone where I can put the base unit on my desk, next to my computer, and it must have a speaker in the base and handset.Most of the time I am sitting at my desk, but the handset has to be able to travel with me around my house, and also must have a speaker in it.

First, I like the panasonic's big number buttons on the base unit.It really makes it easy to dial numbers.The Motorola has very small keypad and is much harder see.

Next, the Panasonic has a nice button that lets you access your voicemail with a single press, allowing you to program your local access number into the phone.One press and it turns speaker phone on and dials into your voicemail.really nice.The motorola doesn't have this option, leaving you to manually dial your vm account.Both systems have a vm light that notifies you when you have vm, both on the base and handset.

The panasonic offers you four different, pleasing songs to choose from for the ringer tone, while the motorola only offers different pitches of the same ring tone - no songs at all.Also, the panasonic default is for both the base and handset to play (ring) with incoming calls.Quite a cacophony when the handset is charging in the base, as they are both going off at the same time, slightly out of synch with each other.The first thing I did was look for a way to shut-off the base ringer.There is none!You can only turn off the handset.I would have preferred the ability to turn of the base (wherever the handset is, I will be, whereas not true with the base).The Motorola does not have this problem, as when the handset is in the cradle only the base rings.

Panasonic has no backup battery charging in the base unit, which means when your handset battery goes dead, your stuck with the base speaker phone.With the Motorola you can purchase an additional battery and stick it in the base unit, so when your handset gets low, you can switch out batteries and carry on.

Speaker phones for both are very clear and loud enough, and both phones have mute for both base and handset, although the mute button on the panasonic base is a little too close to the speaker on/off button.There was a couple times I hit the speaker button when I meant to hit the mute button, thus ending my call when all I wanted to do was mute it.The Motorola has the speaker on/off in the lower middle of the base unit, and the mute is in the upper right lcd display, so no chance of accidentlly hitting it by mistake.The speaker on the handset for both systems were good, although the Motorola was great:nice and loud, I could hear it from the other room!One oddness:The Motorola handset speaker will NOT operate when a headset is plugged into it, while the panasonic will.I usually leave my headset plugged into the handset, but sometimes I want to temporarily put the speaker on while I am doing something.This makes it a pain with the motorola handset.

Phone books:The panasonic has shared phone book for base and handsets, while the motorola has separate ones for each handset as well as the base (If you key a number into the base unit, you will also have to key the same number in each handset as well!That's a pain in my book.)

Range:Both had good range, I could easily walk around my two-story house and never lose signal.

Belt Clip:Motorola handset's battery cover juts out, and you have about 1/16th of an inch space between the belt clip and the battery cover.I found it hard to clip the unit onto my pants, as the battery cover interfered quite a bit.

Misc:Motorola has a time display on the handset, but, oddly enough, not on the base unit (which has a nice LCD display window), while the panasonic has no time display at all.Both displays are clear and easy to read for the most part, with motorola choosing the nice cobalt blue ligthing, while panasonic goes for the more common yellow-orange kind of lighting.

Summary:Overall, both systems appeared to be very nice.If you can handle the handset not working near the base for the panasonic, then I'd say either system is good.

Defected Phone
Its true what other reviewers posted, There is a defect with this phone, if you use it within 6 feet of the base it will break up your conversation. Why havent these defective phones been pulled from the Market by Panasonic? Why does Amazon continue to sell these defected phones?

Where's the Intercom??
This is a great phone system.My only complaint is the ease of use of the intercom.My very old Panasonic cordless has an intercom that you can push a button from the handset and begin talking, so I can call the kids from anywhere in the house. Otherwise this is a terrific phone system.

Good phone with nice features.
SO FAR this phone has been the best cordless phone I have owned.The sound quality has been very good for me.I do not get static or broken communication while on the handsets (I purchased an additonal handset).The speaker phone on the base is not always that clear unless you are right next to the base.The handset reciever's speakerphones are ok though.The best thing about this phone is that it works correctly with my voice mail service through my local telephone company.All other phones I've had do not.In my area FSK is not available.Only the stutter dial tone is available to me.All other phones I've purchase do not monitor the phone line, and most manufactures do not even understand this concept (I contacted others before seeing this Panasonic model).The message indicator lights always work when I have messages and goes off correctly when I do not.Also the range is much greater than previous 900 mhz & 2.4 ghz phones I've had.I would recommend this phone to anyone with voice mail service.However I would not recommend this phone for frequent use of the base for a speakerphone.The talking caller ID is nice, but as I expected it may not announce listings correctly that have initials or abbreviations.The manual discusses this, and it can be turned off if you desire.However, I can always recognize who the caller is even if it does not speak it properly.

All thefeatures I wanted but it didn't work.
I have read other reviews that complain about the problematic nature of 5.8 GHs technology, so maybe they are right. In any event, my phone had tons of static from the start. At first I thought my phone line was at fault, but then the phone stopped working entirely. People complained that I was breaking up and impossible to understand. I didn't believe them, so I left myself voice mail messages at work and found out that I was incomprehensible my voice was breaking up so much. I tried an old phone on the same line to discover it was crystal clear, so I knew it was my Panasonic phone and not my phone line. I returned the phone and purchased a 2.4 GHz AT&T phone (I now don't trust the 5.8 GHz.) I had a 2.4 GHz Panasonic phone I loved. I have a Panasonic TV I love. But I now don't trust the 5.8 technology. And I was even more disappointed because the Panasonic phone had all the features I wanted. My new phone doesn't. ... Read more

Don't waste your money
Discounting other negative reviews here, I went ahead and purchased this phone several months ago.A pretty little phone it is.And relatively easy to get up and running.BUT unless you a real phone "techie" and familiar with multiple menus and cursoring back and forth and up and down, this is not the phone to buy!

Battery problems are strange, but avoidable
I recently acquired a 2.4Ghz Panasonic cordless phone after seeing one my parents have had the last 5 months and being very impressed with the features. I wanted to post this because I've seen the many reviews complaining of poor battery life.

My question for all the people experiencing problems: Did you leave the phone charging on the base unit while you weren't using it? If so, you should understand this. For whatever reason, these phones appear to be counterintuitively designed so that the battery lasts longer when NOT left on the base unit.

And in fact, my owner's manual for model KXZ-TG2355 states this under the Battery Information section: "If the battery is fully charged, you do not have to place the handset on the base unit until 'Recharge battery' is displayed and/or [the battery indicator] flashes. This will maximize battery life."

So although this is a very strange way of designing a phone (or a battery), it regardless is not something Panasonic doesn't address in its manual, and therefore it can be avoided. Don't leave the phone charging until it needs it! I hope this review will help balance the many complaints from people who advise against getting these phones because their batteries have inexplicably gone dead.

One of the best phones on the market!
I, too, think this phone is terrific.Crisp, clear connections, sleek design, and all the latest features.I would prefer if it had an on/off switch, but other than that, I can't say enough great things about it.I'm actually purchasing a second one for our home!

Outstanding Panasonic 2 line cordless phone!
I am very surprised to read negative reviews for this phone. I have had it for over a year and have been completely satisfied. Even my elderly parents with poor hearing say they hear me great when I speak on this phone. Just be sure to place it back on the docking station after you complete your calls, so it can recharge. I highly recommend this phone.

Do not buy this phone
Buy this phone if you want to use the phone for only 2 minutes, because after that the battery discharges. ... Read more

Vendor
The vendor was very professtional in dealing with customers.I had to return the item, because it did not fit my needs.The vendor responded to my e-mail immediately and promptly processed my return and refunded the $ to me.Excellent service.I will purchase from them again in the future.

Great
This phone is awesome. I use 2 lines, and this setup is amazing. I have the KX-TG2740S and it's the only phone I need in my house. Being able to have a phone with no phone jack is brilliant. Anyone with a new house looking for phones, look no further. This system of phones is for you. A bit pricey, but completely worth it!

Had to add a mute button.
I had to modify the phone with an on-off pushbutton to mute the mic.I couldn't find another corded phone in this price range with two lines and speakerphone but the lack of mute really sucks on this one.

Nice Phone, But Lacks Some Essentials
I have to agree with everyone.Two lines are very nice, but the lack of a mute button makes this phone unusable for conference calls.Unfortunately, I am going to have to replace it with another phone that has two lines and a mute button.Fatal design flaw.Lack of a lighted "message waiting indicator light" is also a big drawback, but there is a faint message waiting indicator on the LCD.

I like it better than most
It's true, it's not perfect, but it doesn't cost a fortune either. There is no mute button, but Iuse the speakerphone to listen until I get off the endless hold of banks, tech support, whatever.. so that is not a problem for me. I like that I can use my headset, the handset OR the speaker. The sound quality is good. I set Line 1 as my default line, and I HAVE dialtone on Line 1 when there is no power. I have had the phone unplugged for up to an hour an NOT lost my settings, so I don't think that's all that much of a problem either. Yes, you have to be able to use a menu to set the ringer volume, but once it's set, I leave it, so again, no problem there. For me this phone was a good value for the money, and I am happy with it.

No MUTE button while on speakerphone
Great phone for 2 line use in my home office, however lacks a MUTE button for conference calls.

Beware No Mute, No Easy Ringer Off
No mute button?Isn't that illegal?How about having to drill down menu after menu to just to turn off the ringer?Otherwise the phone works great and sounds great.But these are biggies to me. ... Read more
