Panasonic Cordless Review
This is the second one of these I have purchased - one has 3 handsets and a fancier base with speaker and one has 4 handsets. They are very reliable and easy to use. I like the fact that each person can program their handset as they wish. They could be a little sturdier. One of our base sets got killed off by a large power surge. All the rest of the equipment on that group was still good though, so just replacing that base wasn't too bad.

On the second purchase, we were upgrading because our old wireless phones interfered with our wireless internet connections. We have had no problem with the 6.0 phones in that regard.

Nice phone nice features: with a caveat for some
I really like the panasonics cordless phone quality, most other competitors do not get very consistantly good reviews so this is a good product.

I do wish Id of looked on amazon and found I couldve gotten this model with two handsets for like 16 bucks more though. To buy one seperate on amazon its like 37 bucks...sigh oh well my error.

My one gripe will affect those who dont want to hear noise (call screening while sleeping) turning off call screening is a two step odd process part of which must be done while the call is coming in or you have to call yourself to do it! Dumb why no button for it! (there is a volume button but doesnt stop call screening volume per book).

It stays off after process (volume of call screening) unless someone in house uses the actual charger base answering machine unit to check messages, then it resets. If youre not aware someone used the machine instead of picking up calls from handset you get sound. I live in a small space so this is a pain if you sleep days.

and a minor gripe: once you listen to a message, but do not want to delete, there is no reminder light that it is still there. No biggie but dumb.

I do like the unit but if it was made a bit differently Id be happier.

I did notice the volume on phone set at high isnt real loud (on some calls only) which is fine for me but if youre hearing impaired it could be an issue, my parents have a panny cordless very similiar to this one (new) and dad has to use speaker phone to hear (which runs battery down faster). (the volume on hand set is just too low compared to old analog cordless).

It does what it says and sounds fine no buzz. The phone handset volume is not simple to turn back on (no shortcut ringer on off button), you have to access the menu to turn ringer back on. If you forget ....you dont hear calls.
It does blink on its end and on display, when rings though.

I did not find a problem erasing messagings as one review mentioned I dont think its hard and is one touch.

Inspite of my gripes, It really is a nice system and you can purchase extra handsets later, and easily purchase new batteries which arent expensive at this time. "aa" nimh. Though you must charge them in phone unit charger or the phone wont recognize the full battery.

You can retrieve messages from handset and it blinks to notify you have messages, it even has some sort of synching for voice mail if you use that.

It also has multiple caller id functions (I dont use them) but its nice to have the options for some. Inc'd various assigned rings to incoming calls if you have caller id. And it will audibly announce the caller is you have caller i.d.

It has a nice phone book function, holds long numbers and spaces.

If It wears badly I will return to update :) Overall I do recc'd it :)

Great basic phone
If you're looking for a basic phone that's easy to use, this is for you. The sound is crystal clear, the buttons are large, and the answering machine works well. It has a small base so it's great for small spaces, which is the primary reason I purchased it.

Best Phone Yet
THIS IS A NEW VERSION OF THE SAME MODEL. IT IS GREAT
SMALLER AND STILL HAS ALL THE SAME FEATURES. I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THIS ONE.
¤

Very good phone
I am really very happy with my new phone. But the following could have been better

1. Call registering is not good. Expecting some thing closer to any Mobile.
it register all the calls missed and received calls in same list. And don't store the call duration.
The dialed number list is very small. It can hold up to 6 last dialed numbers.

other wise it's a pretty decent phone. I will recommend the phone

D. Edelson ( Silicon Valley, CA, USA )
I like these panasonic cordless phones a lot. Great sound quality. The handset speaker phones work well enough. My only complaint is that after 12-24 months the batteries wear out and are very expensive to replace. Also, it you want to buy extra handsets its very expensive.

No complaints about the operation of the phone. I like the handset menus that allow you to see missed calls and hear voicemail from any handset. The intercom is cool though I never use it. The software for controlling the answering machine function could be more sophisticated, such as more powerful browsing through and reviewing your voicemail messages.

Fairly good range.

This handset worls beautifully. Voice is clear to hear and the menus are easy to use.

Russell L. Martin ( Middleton, WI United States )
I really like this phone. I can remotely turn off the talking caller ID from any phone in the system. Also, I entered a number of a pesky toll free number that called me every night last week and it blocked the number after the first ring and hung up. GREAT! ! ! This is a great upgrade for the Uniden phones I had previously.

Ellen Dawson ( Lusby, MD )
I've been using these for several months now and I love these phones! They are perfect for my business out of my home. I put one upstairs so I don't have to run down the steps anymore. The voice quality is clear and the messages are too! I researched a lot before purchasing and it paid off! Well worth the money!

John ( Phoenix, AZ )
Spending extra money on a "name brand" phone with 3 wireless handsets and caller ID seemed like a "smart move"....WRONG!! Problems began from the very start, even problems with PANASONIC CORPORATION keeping their word and replacing the units. First, the calller ID did not work very well on all of the phones- intermittent at best. This was a poor choice because we used the phones in our business, from the base unit to the office to the workshop-- we could hardly ever tell who was calling or who had called.

Several calls to technical support gave help but nothing changed the problem. Then we received AUTHORIZATION WITH a customer reference number for a complete replacement of all phones! The authorization was received within the 12 months warranty period. But ah-ah-ah. They did not receive the units within the 12 months warranty period, by the time we stopped trying to run the business long enough to buy replacement phones to use while they were being returned, locate packaging, pack and ship out by UPS. Panasonic Corporation received the phones but REFUSED to REPLACE THEM!!! but wanted $127.50 to repair them (HALF AGAIN THEIR ORIGINAL COST)!

Many frustrating callS to PANASONIC CORPORATION Customer Service ensued citing the authorization for replacement. This still ended in denial and refusal to help. More calls to supervisors ensued (after all a purchase of over $225 for phones should be worth something). Still refusal to keep their word to replace the phones.

Finally, another supervisor authorized the one time replacement of all three phones. She said she would email me a letter confirming this authorization --- ANd NEVER DID!! I faxed to her all the correspondence, model #'s, serial #'s, work orders as she requested. Some time later I get a refurbished base station with 2 of the phones but not the third phone. The refurbished phones only had 90 days warranty not 12 months that I had been promised. After about three weeks I placed several calls to PANASONIC CORPORATION to ask where my other phone set was, ultimately to get another supervisor who said THEY WERE WAITING FOR ME TO PAY THEM TO REPAIR IT!!!
I said that nothing had EVER been said about me paying for the repair of any of the purchased phones! I told them I would fax all of the correspondence to them which fully documented the full replacement of all units. While I was preparing the fax I got another call from PANASONIC CORPORATION telling me they were going to send my old unit back to me!! They said they were not going to replace the third phone as promised because they thought the problem with the caller ID was solved by sending me a refurbished base unit.

So how many lies were made by PANASONIC CORPORATION? Can you count them all?? I would not rate these phones even a "1" for poor because of PANASONIC CORPORATION being so corrupt from the beginning and so cheap that they wouldn't even send out a refurbished phone. The best rating I could give them would be a zero (0) or a minus something for all the heartburn and frustration I went through for a very poor quality product.

Lopsided ( VA )
I upgraded a previous Panasonic system which was very similar to this one thinking I would be improving on a great product, boy was I wrong. I should have stayed with my older one until it gave out.
The reasons I choose Panasonic was simple:
1. I needed an expandable unit
2. No phone jack is needed for add on phones, merely an power outlet
3. You can listen to your messages from any handset, you do not need to go to the base unit to retrieve them and you can erase those messages from any handset

The major complaint I have is that within a very short period of purchasing the base unit the speaker in the handset thru which you hear your messages and speakerphone started cracking and then broke completely. It is a different speaker than you hear the caller thru.
I purchased an addt'l handset when they were back in stock and within 6 months it started doing the same thing.
I love the features of these phones. I need a 2 line phone and I also use the speakerphone on the handsets regularly so it is very important to me that it works.
I'm disappointed in the quality, even worse, I'm angry at myself for "upgrading" and not taking back the base unit immediately after it started cracking.

volume could be a bit louder for me, so i go for the speaker phone feature, but once you select it, you're stuck until you hang up, ie, you cannot reverse speaker phone during the call.

I had been looking for months to replace my two line expandable phone system. I am very happy with the panasonic I received. It is small and lightweight and the battery actually holds its charge.

Great dual line phone. I already had an earlier version of the same phone. This is lighter and sleaker. Great phone and price. Would recommend this to anyone considering a dual line.

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.

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.
[...].

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.

It was hard to find a fax phone w/answering machine. They seem to be going the way of the dinasours, but this one is great. The phone could be a little larger for bigger hands, but it is fine for me. Works really well

The product works well. It was quick and easy to set up. The messages on the answering machine are clear and understandable. It does not take up alot of space since it is compact and attractive.

In the context of looking for a an all-in-one without spending a lot of money, the KX-FG2451 fits the bill. I was looking for a fax machine that had a cordless phone with a speaker phone feature. The choices were fairly limited but the Panasonic appeared to offer the best mixture of features and price. It is very simple to hook-up and use. It performs adequately on all measures but is far from best of breed in any category.

The range is pretty good on the cordless phone (easily 50'+) and sound quality is fine but certainly not on par with higher end models. The buttons are easy enough to use in most modes although I found in speaker mode when you have to press a variety of buttons to drill down in the automated systems that the communication between the phone and the automated services becomes jumbled.

Lastly, the one issue is setting it to answer faxes automatically entails having the phone become the answering machine, too. I can't see how to override that feature so I had to set it to a manual mode (turns off answering machine). I don't get a lot of faxes so that didn't matter to me but for those that want their current system to handle voice messages this could be a factor.

Ordered this phone and the first one came in broked which left me skeptical... was not a huge deal to exchange and the new one works great. I've been looking for a cordless phone, fax, answering machine, was told that it didn't exist, but it does and this is it. I am sooo happy with this phone. Perfect for my work needs in my small boutique.

Mildred H. Anderson ( Clearwater, FL USA )
I'm so happy...This machine is perfect. It replaces the same machine (older model) that gave us many good years. I searched every possible store in my area and could not find a phone that met our needs. Amazon was the only source for this model. Hopefully Panasonic will continue to manufacture it!.
