Customer's Reviews (All-Reviews)
Sharon Diana Seifts I work from my home office and on a daily basis participate on long conference calls. I bought this phone mainly because of the features that it offered. I wanted a "wired" phone so I would not have to worry about the battery dying during important calls and I also wanted wireless handsets to have the ability to move around if necessary. This purchase offered the best of both worlds. It has an excellent speaker phone which is invaluable knowing that participants can hear me clearly without breaking up and without spordiac interruptions that I have experienced with other speaker phones. The handsets (came with 2) have an extremely long battery life which was a nice surprise. I do not use the address book features, therefore, I cannot comment on that function. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Netstar ( Atlanta, Ga. ) As a happy owner of the Panasonic KX-TG1035S model phone for the past 3 years, I decided to try the Panasonic 2-line KX-TG9392T phone. I decided to purchase the Panasonic 2-line model (KX-TG9392T) based on the features and reputation of quality Panasonic products. I am sorry to say that Panasonic dropped the ball on this phone. This phone feels very cheaply made and the ring tone sound quality is awful. This is nothing like my previous Panasonic phone. The only positive feature is that it comes with lighted keypads on the cordless units which is a nice touch.
I read several complaints on Amazon regarding the short reception distance of the cordless phone units that are included with the base unit. This wasn't really an issue for me since my home provides an open floor plan with minimal wall obstructions so I took the chance. I am sorry to say that I should have taken the advice of the reviews. The cordless phones that are included with the base unit only go 20 feet before losing connection. What is the point of having a cordless phone when it can only be used at a distance of a corded handset? This is a result of poor design and cost cutting efforts. It's hard to believe that Panasonic tested this product and let it go into production. I would not recommend this product and I would hesitate to purchase another Panasonic phone based on their new standards of quality.

L. Sanchez ( Albuquerque, NM United States ) I've had 2 lines in my home for about 25 years or so. In that time, I have really only found 1 two line cordless phone that I would consider a 4 to 5 star product. It was a Panasonic brand phone that I purchased about 15 years ago and it lasted about 5 years. Every other 2 line cordless phone that I've owned pretty much misses the mark in one way or another. This set is not an exception to that.
Basically, this unit does the job. It just doesn't do the job well. By that I mean that it sounds good, it has good range, the answering machine answers calls, the handsets have good battery life, callers hear you clearly. Where this phone misses it is in the details.
Examples of that on this phone:
1. The ringers. What the heck were the designers thinking? They're terrible! This makes it difficult to use this phone in an office environment. They are silly and annoying. Plus the ringer on the base unit and the handsets don't match.
2. Way too many button presses to access the phone book and caller id. Again, why make this so difficult?
3. Soft buttons for line 1 and line 2 on handsets. To me this one is huge. The phone has a lot of buttons on it. Why make the button you press the most a soft button? Makes no sense.
So again, this phone will more than likely do the job for your 2 line home/office. You'll just be slightly annoyed at how it does it.

Robert Vince ( NJ ) Please do your own research, but here is one of many articles about the hazards of DECT. A link to a German Govt study is at the end.
DECT pulse frequency concern
It is important to put out a warning about DECT phones, as they could be up to 100 times worse than an ordinary mobile, particularly if used in built up areas. The reason for this is the frequency of the pulse. DECT pulses at 100Hz whilst a GSM mobile pulses at 217Hz. Remember, the lower the pulsing frequency, the stronger the biological effect. It's the pulsing within the ELF (extremely low frequency) range we have to be concerned about. That's why TETRA is so dangerous. It pulses at 17.6Hz, right within the human beta brainwave rhythm range. Dr von Klitzing, who was one of the Medical Physicists signing the Freiburger Appeal, reported his research regarding DECT phones. His research on blood samples taken from children in the vicinity of DECT phones showed that the red blood corpuscles did not `ripen out properly' (a direct translation of his words). The physical signs were: listlessness and/or aggression, pallor, sleeplessness etc. This could be reversed with the removal of the phone.
Choice
In your own home you have a choice, and it is yours. If you have reservations as a result of reading up on DECT, at least revert to an older style analogue cordless phone - or put up with wires!
Neighbours' phones are another matter. If you know where such a phone base is, you may decide to try foil on the wall in a large patch, to screen the DECT out. If it works, you might prefer to install it more permanently under wallpaper. But do note that microwaves tend to run around such barriers like water around a stone in a stream, so a small phone-sized patch will not work. (Findings from using an Acousticom detector.)
If you find your foil disrupts the neighbouring phone, you don't want to get into a dispute, with one of you moving the phone and the other moving the screen. Try and explain the problem in an open way, using the research listed here.
DECT in the office? Again an emotive subject. All your employer will do is refer to the Health and Safety Executive, who refer to the NRPB, who cite the ICNIRP (if it doesn't heat you it can't harm you) guidelines. These are wholly inappropriate, so employees have (a) no guidance and (b) no way to assess exposure in the office. The manufacturers give no advice on density of DECT per square metre. If you are sensitive to DECT, try to explain what you experience and ask for a wired phone.

David Norwood ( Arroyo Grande CA Central Coast ) I like this phone. The intercom feature is a bonus, as I have a long home and often need to tell me wife the phone if for her, with intercome it is easy. Everything else is exactly as discribed. Bought one for my mom also.
